Official title
Confirmation in Human Subjects of a Cosmetic Product Efficacy After Application in the Body Under Normal Conditions of Use.
Overview
The goal of this study is to learn if combined use of shower oleogel and body lotion works to improve skin itching and dryness in adults. It will also learn about its safety. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does the products use improves skin hydration and itching? Researchers will compare shower oleogel and body lotion to a commercially available shower gel and the body lotion to see if the combined use is more efficient than use of body lotion alone. Participants will: * Use assigned products every day for 1 month * Visit the CRO for checkups and tests on established schedule
