Brief summary
The objective of this POC clinical study is to investigate the impact of the test product (Developmental Cosmetic Moisturising Cream) on skin barrier function and skin moisturisation on the forearm and face after 4 weeks of twice daily application compared to no treatment in participants with dry sensitive skin.
Detailed description
Areas on the volar forearm and each side of the face, will be selected for measurements of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and corneometry to be conducted . A physical challenge and a regression period of 5 days is also included to evaluate skin barrier function and moisturisation. A regression period of 5 days (Days 30, 31, 32, 33 and 34) of no study product use following the 4 week treatment phase is also included to evaluate skin barrier function and moisturisation.
Interventions
Participants will be instructed to apply their assigned product to the randomly assigned sites twice daily (in the morning and evening).

|---|---|---|
| Change From Baseline in Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) Measurements on Day 29, Test Product Treated Versus (vs.) Untreated Sites on the Forearm | At Baseline and Day 29 | TEWL measuring principle is based on water vapour gradient determination between two pairs of sensors placed at different distances perpendicularly to the skin. The probe was held in place on the skin for one measurement, for approximately 40 seconds (sec), to ensure that a stable value has been established. The first part of the measurement belongs to the equilibration phase. The values of the last 10 secs were averaged as the actual measurement values. An increase in TEWL values shows damage to the skin barrier function. |

| Change From Baseline in Corneometry on the Forearm and Face, Test Product Treated vs. Untreated Sites | At Baseline, Day 1 (30 minutes and 6 hours post study product application), Day 2, 15, and 29 | Corneometry was used to measure moisture content of stratum corneum using corneometer. The measuring principle is based on changes in the capacitance of the measuring head, functioning as a condensator. Between the conductors of the probe an electrical field was built which allows the dielectricity of the stratum corneum to be measured. Because the dielectricity of the skin varies as a function of its water content. The Corneometer measurements was taken 5 times in total and then an average reading was calculated for each site and time point. An increase in corneometry values indicates an increase in the hydration status of the skin and vice versa. |

Corneometry was used to measure moisture content of stratum corneum using corneometer. The measuring principle is based on changes in the capacitance of the measuring head, functioning as a condensator. Between the conductors of the probe an electrical field was built which allows the dielectricity of the stratum corneum to be measured. Because the dielectricity of the skin varies as a function of its water content. The Corneometer measurements was taken 5 times in total and then an average reading was calculated for each site and time point. An increase in corneometry values indicates an increase in the hydration status of the skin and vice versa.

Change From Baseline in Standardised Area Under Curve (AUCday 29-34) of Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) Over Regression Period (Days 30, 31, 32, 33 and 34) of Forearm and Face, Test Product Treated vs. Untreated Sites
Standardised AUCday29-34 was calculated for each participant for change from baseline in TEWL on forearms and face over the regression period (Day31, 32, 33 and 34) using the trapezoidal rule and dividing by the number of days in the period. TEWL measuring principle is based on water vapour gradient determination between two pairs of sensors placed at different distances perpendicularly to the skin. The probe was held in place on the skin for one measurement, for approximately 40 secs, to ensure that a stable value was established. The first part of the measurement belongs to the equilibration phase. The values of the last 10 secs were averaged as the actual measurement values. An increase in TEWL values shows damage to the skin barrier function.

Change From Day 29 in Standardised Area Under Curve (AUCday 29-34) of Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) Over Regression Period (Days 30, 31, 32, 33 and 34) of Forearm and Face, Test Product Treated vs. Untreated Sites
Standardised AUCday29-34 was calculated for each participant for change from Day 29 in TEWL on forearms and face over the regression period (Day31, 32, 33 and 34) using the trapezoidal rule and dividing by the number of days in the period. TEWL measuring principle is based on water vapour gradient determination between two pairs of sensors placed at different distances perpendicularly to the skin. The probe was held in place on the skin for one measurement, for approximately 40 secs, to ensure that a stable value was established. The first part of the measurement belongs to the equilibration phase. The values of the last 10 secs were averaged as the actual measurement values. An increase in TEWL values shows damage to the skin barrier function.

Change From Pre-challenge in Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) Measurements of D-Squame Discs Following 3, 6 and 9 Adhesive Discs Removal From Skin of Both Test Product Treated and Untreated Sites on the Face on Day 29
A series of D-Squame discs were gently smoothed over the designated D-Squame Areas by applying a uniform pressure for 5 secs with a stamp to ensure consistent adhesion to the skin. Each disc was pulled off the skin with one fluent and decisive movement. There were maximum of 9 D-Squame discs (in groups of 3) removed from the face repeatedly. TEWL measuring principle is based on water vapour gradient determination between two pairs of sensors placed at different distances perpendicularly to the skin. The probe was held in place on the skin for one measurement, for approximately 40 secs, to ensure that a stable value has been established. The first part of the measurement belongs to the equilibration phase. The values of the last 10 secs were averaged as the actual measurement values. TEWL was measured pre-challenge and after 3, 6 and 9 discs have been removed from the face. An increase in TEWL values shows damage to the skin barrier function.

Standardised Area Under Curve (AUC1-29) of Change From Baseline in Corneometry Over Treatment Period
Standardised AUC1-29 was calculated for each participant for change from baseline in corneometry on forearms and face over the treatment period; i.e. up to Day 29 using the trapezoidal rule and dividing by the number of days in the period. Corneometry was used to measure moisture content of stratum corneum using corneometer. The measuring principle is based on changes in the capacitance of the measuring head, functioning as a condensator. Between the conductors of the probe an electrical field was built which allows the dielectricity of the stratum corneum to be measured. Because the dielectricity of the skin varies as a function of its water content. The Corneometer measurements was taken 5 times in total and then an average reading was calculated for each site and time point. An increase in corneometry values indicates an increase in the hydration status of the skin and vice versa.

Standardised AUC Calculated Using Change From Day 29 in Corneometry Over Regression Period (Days 30, 31, 32, 33 and 34) on the Forearm and Face
Standardised AUCday29-34 was calculated for each participant for change from day 29 in corneometry on forearms and face over the regression period using the trapezoidal rule and dividing by the number of days in the period. Corneometry was used to measure the moisture content of stratum corneum using corneometer. The measuring principle is based on changes in the capacitance of the measuring head, functioning as a condensator. Between the conductors of the probe an electrical field was built which allows the dielectricity of the stratum corneum to be measured. Because the dielectricity of the skin varies as a function of its water content. The Corneometer measurements were taken 5 times in total and then an average reading was calculated for each site and time point. An increase in corneometry values indicates an increase in the hydration status of the skin and vice versa.
Time frame: Up to Day 34
Population: Analysis population was ITT (N=65) population included all participants who were randomized into the study and had at least one post-baseline clinical assessment available. Here, number analyzed signifies participants with available data for each specified category.
