TriCeram: "New Hope for Problem Skin"-Marie Claire mag

I found this little blurb in the most recent issue of Marie Claire mag.

"Dermatologists estimate that 70% of of skin problems, including eczema, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis, are due to imbalances in the cermamide, cholesterol, and free-fatty-acid levels in the skin. Based on this knowledge, Osmotics has developed TriCerum, an over the counter salve, that, in clinical trials, dramatically improved the skin of 19 of 21 eczema patients who hadn't responded to steroid cream (the standard treatment). We've found that it beats back of the arm bumps, too."

My take on this:
I found this interesting because this is the first suggestion I've heard that KP and related skin problems may be caused by imbalances in the skin (then again, maybe I don't read much).

I'm curious to find out if anyone has tried this.
I'm not sure if it's out yet, but it is an OTC med.

I just visited the company's web site. Sounds like this is more for dermatitis and severly dry skin. I'm still curious if anyone has tried it for KP, though.
