Photography plays an essential role in cosmetic claim substantiation by providing a clear and permanent visual record of a test product’s effects on appearance. Image analysis performed on standardized digital photographs enables the objective assessment and quantification of features such as wrinkles, pigmentation, skin texture, redness, shine to cite just a few examples. Consistent lighting, camera settings, subject positioning, and acquisition procedures allow reliable before-and-after comparisons while reducing the influence of subjective observation. Photographs also complement instrumental measurements, expert grading, and consumer feedback by demonstrating whether reported improvements are visible and cosmetically meaningful. In addition, they enhance study traceability and regulatory robustness by documenting outcomes, facilitating independent review, and providing evidence that marketing claims accurately reflect the results observed during testing.
DermaProof Asia has recently acquired a new facial imaging system, ColorFace® (QIMA Newtone), further expanding its equipment portfolio, which already included two VISIA®-CR systems and one VISIA® 7 system from Canfield Scientific, two proprietary VisioFace® systems, video-microscopes, and an Antera 3D camera from Miravex. This investment significantly strengthens the company’s imaging and testing capabilities. Photography under a wide range of acquisition conditions—including visible and UV illumination, parallel- and cross-polarized light, and microscopic and macroscopic imaging—supports the assessment of facial and body skin, as well as hair.
These advanced technologies enable DermaProof Asia to provide a broader range of imaging and image-analysis services for cosmetic claim substantiation. Our testing solutions cover a wide variety of products, from make-up—including mascaras, lipsticks, and foundations—to toiletries, body-care, skincare, and haircare products. We encourage you to contact us to learn more about our complete imaging capabilities and tailor-made study protocols.
