However, the lack of scientific evidence leads to discrepancies and great variability in the recommendations used by different health professionals. The aim of this consensus document is to generate recommendations based on the evidence and experience of dermatologists to unify and facilitate the use of moisturizing products in the routine clinical practice. Materials and methods: A 49-statement questionnaire on moisturizing products was prepared and, then, arranged in 5 blocks: (1) concept, (2) characteristics, (3) frequency and quantity, (4) product use and areas of application, and (5) special populations. Twenty-two expert dermatologists in the management of patients with eczema answered to the survey using a 2-round Delphi methodology (adding an item on the 2nd round). Results: Consensus was reached on 27 statements (54%), most (n = 23) via agreement. The highest level of agreement was reached in the blocks on quantity, product use and areas of application (77.8%), followed by the blocks on characteristics (73%) and frequency (62.5%). Regarding the blocks on concept and special populations, the level of consensus on the items proposed was 37.5% and 10%, respectively. Consensus on the use of emollients for xeroderma (71%) was higher vs atopic dermatitis (64%) and inflamed skin (33.3%). Conclusions: Consensus recommendations can help all prescribers and improve the available evidence regarding their use. (c) 2024 AEDV. Published by Elsevier Espana, S.L.U.
