Harlequin ichthyosis – also called Ichthyosis, Harlequin Type – is the most severe form of ichthyosis.

It affects newborn infants. The infant is covered with plates of thick skin that crack and split apart.

Unfortunately, there is no cure for Harlequin ichthyosis. It is essential to consult a doctor.

To reduce the skin symptoms of this condition, it is important to extensively use moisturising and soothing skincare products. In addition, to limit the broader health risks that come with very frequent use of any product, over large surfaces of body area, it is essential that the composition of the products is "clean"; this means that the products should contains only the strict minimum of ingredients and, of course, exclude all the ingredients that are known or suspected to have (potentially serious) bad effects when used extensively and over long period of time, such as endocrine disruptors, allergens etc. 

This is why we recommend that people concerned with ichthyosis skin use Skintifique's Hydrating Gel. Thanks to ActivifiqueTM, the exclusive technology that this product is based on, it may be the most efficient moisturiser available in the market, while containing only 8 ingredients and an extremely clean formulation.

We know that people suffering from ichthyosis need to use large quantities of moisturisers. This is why we offer the Hydrating Gel comes both as an individual product and in multi-products packs, and why we also offer specific price conditions for people who need very large quantities.
