Understanding Perioral Dermatitis

Perioral Dermatitis is one of the most commonly misdiagnosed skin conditions, often mistaken for eczema or other similar skin issues. Unlike eczema, Perioral Dermatitis is an infection, frequently caused by bacteria from inside the nose, such as Staphylococcus aureus or Moraxella.

At CLMD, we recognize the unique challenges of Perioral Dermatitis and are dedicated to offering effective, science-backed solutions designed to restore the health and appearance of your skin.

Introducing TrueLipids Perioral Dermatitis Complete Care

Backed by Science. Proven by Results.

Developed by Dr. Cheryl Lee Eberting, an NIH-trained dermatologist, our TrueLipids products provide a comprehensive, results-driven approach to managing Perioral Dermatitis. Our formulations combine advanced technology with high-quality ingredients to give your skin the care it deserves.

Healthy Skin Essentials for Perioral Dermatitis

Our approach to periorial dermatitis management is built on three key principles.

#1: pH Balance

Maintaining a mildly acidic pH (4.6 - 5.6) is critical for skin health. Harsh soaps and alkaline cleansers disrupt this balance, making your skin more vulnerable to infections and irritants. TrueLipids products help preserve this balance for a resilient skin barrier.

#2: Lipid Replacement

Healthy skin requires a balance of ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol. Our formulations replenish these lipids in just the right combination to support barrier function and reduce irritation.

#3: Anti-Inflammatory Ingredients

Our products feature anti-inflammatory agents, like 18 ß-glycyrrhetinic acid, which reduce redness, irritation, and the risk of bacterial infection, making TrueLipids an ideal choice for sensitive skin affected by Perioral Dermatitis.

Tested and Trusted

With a 98% success rate, our products have been clinically tested to ensure efficacy and safety. Participants reported:

• 87% improvement in skin scaling
• 86% improvement in dryness and redness
• 85% improvement in irritation

In patch testing on 702 individuals, we saw zero allergic reactions and zero irritant reactions, highlighting our commitment to gentle, effective care.

In a rigorous TEWL (Trans-Epidermal Water Loss) inhibition analysis, TrueLipids demonstrated superior performance in preventing moisture loss, ensuring your skin stays hydrated and protected.In a double-blind patient preference study, users overwhelmingly preferred TrueLipids over Aquaphor®. Participants reported that TrueLipids felt less greasy and provided a more natural finish, delivering the comfort and relief they need without the heavy residue often associated with traditional treatments.
