Cosmetic clinical study design and instrumentation – Advantages, limitations and opportunities

Workshop 1. 18 April 2018, 13:30 – 17:30 Workshop Room 1.

As such, product development and marketing professionals are challenged with the question: How does one select the device that is most appropriate for the study objective and will best represent the projected activity of the formulation?
