The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of an Emollient Aqua Posae + Microesyl compared to urea 10% in patients with mild-moderate atopic dermatitis The main question it aims to answer is: " To evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of an Emollient Aqua Posae + Microesyl compared to urea 10% in patients with mild-moderate atopic dermatitis age 18 years and above". Moisturizer application will be performed twice daily, 3 minutes after bathing, with a standardized dose using the Finger Tip Unit (FTU) method.

* This intervention involves the use of two topical products: * Aqua posae - a moisturizing agent * Microresyl - an active ingredient with potential therapeutic effects * Subjects in Group A will be instructed to apply these two products (aqua posae and microresyl) twice daily to the upper and lower limbs, including both lesional and non-lesional areas of the skin. The use of these interventions will be evaluated over a 12-week period, with assessments of Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL), skin hydration, skin pH, index scoring of atopic dermatitis (SCORAD), erythema area severity index (EASI), pruritus visual analogue scale (PVAS), quality of life (DLQI), and any adverse effects.
Intervention 2: Urea 10% * This intervention involves the use of a 10% urea-based topical moisturizing product. * Subjects in Group B will be instructed to apply the 10% urea moisturizer twice daily to the upper and lower limbs, including both lesional and non-lesional areas of the skin. The use of these interventions will be evaluated over a 12-week period, with assessments of Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL), skin hydration, skin pH, index scoring of atopic dermatitis (SCORAD), erythema area severity index (EASI), pruritus visual analogue scale (PVAS), quality of life (DLQI), and any adverse effects.

SCORAD (Scoring Atopic Dermatitis)
* The SCORAD is a composite score that evaluates the extent and severity of atopic dermatitis. * The SCORAD scale ranges from 0 to 103, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. The ranges of the SCORAD (0-25 for 'mild' disease, and 25-50 for 'moderate' disease, \>50 for severe disease)
Time frame: Through study completion, 12 week
PVAS (Pruritus Visual Analog Scale)
* The PVAS is a 100 mm visual analog scale that assesses the severity of pruritus (itching) experienced by the patient. * The PVAS ranges from 0 (no itch) to 100 (worst imaginable itch).
Time frame: Through study completion, 12 week
EASI (Eczema Area and Severity Index)
* The EASI is a tool that measures the extent and severity of atopic dermatitis lesions. * The EASI score ranges from 0 to 72, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. 0 = clear; 0.1 to 1.0 = almost clear; 1.1 to 7.0 = mild; 7.1 to 21.0 = moderate; 21.1 to 50.0 = severe; 50.1 to 72.0 = very severe
Time frame: Through study completion, 12 week
DLQI (Dermatology Life Quality Index)
* The DLQI is a questionnaire that assesses the impact of skin diseases on a patient's quality of life. * The DLQI score ranges from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating a greater impairment of quality of life.
Time frame: Through study completion, 12 week
Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL)
* TEWL is a measure of the barrier function of the skin, with higher values indicating a more compromised skin barrier. * TEWL is typically measured in g/m\^2/h.
Time frame: Through study completion, 12 week
Skin Hydration
This platform is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional.
* Skin hydration is a measure of the moisture content of the skin, with higher values indicating more hydrated skin. * Skin hydration is typically measured using corneometry, with the values reported in arbitrary units (a.u.).
Time frame: Through study completion, 12 week
Skin pH
* Skin pH is a measure of the acidity of the skin surface, with normal skin having a slightly acidic pH around 5.5. * Skin pH is measured on a scale from 0 to 14, with lower values indicating more acidic skin.
Time frame: Through study completion, 12 week
