Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, as well as effectiveness, with regards to the order of application for Locoid Lipocream and Hylatopic Plus cream in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), which is a type of skin rash.Topical skin barrier repair therapies (BRT) that are plain moisturizing creams/lotions with added lipids (fats/oils), such as Hylatopic Plus cream, have emerged as an effective addition to the the treatment of atopic dermatitis. BRTs are often used along with topical steroids (medicated creams), such as Locoid lotion, on skin with AD, and as a monotherapy (single treatment) on both non-diseased and diseased skin. Since BRTs help to restore components of skin that are absent in skin with AD, it is believed that long-term BRT use may reduce further development of further AD. This is an open-label, single site study.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* clinical diagnosis of stable mild to moderate AD using the Hanifin and Rajka criteria for diagnosing AD
* AD lesions of similar size and severity of bilateral anatomic location
* a SPGA score of 2 or 3 and at least 10% BSA involvement at baseline
* in good health, without evidence of disease process(es) that would present patient safety concerns or confounding factors for assessment of study objectives
* able and willing to understand and sign an informed consent (or if applicable parent or legal guardian sign an informed consent),
* able and willing to agree to requirements and restrictions of the study
* Subjects who are willing to discontinue all systemic corticosteroids, immunomodulators, ultra violet light therapy or other medication (investigational or otherwise) that may have an effect on atopic dermatitis disease progression for 30 days prior to the baseline measurement.
* Subjects on a stable maintenance therapy (at least 30 days of use prior to baseline) of antihistamines and/or nasal spray containing corticosteroids for the treatment of bronchial asthma or allergic rhinitis, and antibiotics for the treatment of acne will be allowed.
* Subjects who are willing to discontinue use of topical treatments for AD including, but not limited to, corticosteroids, immunomodulators, vitamin D treatments, retinoids, topical antihistamines for at least 14 days prior to baseline
