Lack of skin hydration induces cutaneous clinical and sensory changes, which consumers want to compensate by applying moisturising products. How should a clinical assessment of the effect on skin hydration of a cosmetic product be conducted?

With a panel of subjects, a team of dermatologists specialized in clinical scoring, Eurofins| Evic offers optimal conditions for clinical evaluation of the moisturising effect of the products (expertise also provided within Eurofins network).

This expertise has two aspects:

– Objective: clinical scoring by an evaluator, both visual (erythema, squame, cracks), and tactile (lack of suppleness, roughness).
– Subjective: self-assessment of functional signs by the subjects themselves. The lack of hydration is experienced very early by the subjects (tightness), even before the objective clinical signs.
