Подробное описание

This is a single centre, single cell, blinded study designed to evaluate the effect of cosmetic products on skin brightening, skin hydration and skin barrier function of the volar forearm after controlled UV exposure. This study will accept 34 participants who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants will test all 5 products and a no-treatment control, which will be applied twice daily for 6 weeks to pre-defined test sites on their volar forearms.

UV exposure will be conducted using a SOL UV solar simulator (300 - 1200nm; dose level 6 joules/cm2) at various time points during weeks 2 - 5 of the study.

Instrumental assessments of skin brightening, skin hydration and skin barrier function will be conducted at regular intervals throughout the whole study. Non-invasive samples of the stratum corneum will be collected at several timepoints during the study to evaluate biomarkers of skin brightening.
