Sensitive Skin
Conditions
Brief summary
Open clinical study to evaluate the soothing and re-epithelizing activity of a single application of two cometic formulations (P926 - LICHTENA DermAD CREMA VISO and P927 - LICHTENA DermAD CREMA CORPO) on experimentally induced erythema by repeated tape stripping on the forearm (volar surface) of 20 healthy volunteers. Study products activity was assessed in comparison to placebo (P926P - LICHTENA DermAD CREMA VISO - PLACEBO) and versus untreated control area.
Interventions
The study product was applied on a skin areas of about 14 cm2 of the forearm, defined turning on the right and left side in accordance with a randomization list, on which an erythema has been experimentally induced by repeated tape stripping.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline of skin erythema index | Baseline (T0), 1 hour (T1h), 24 hours (T24h) | The instrumental measurement of erythema is performed by the use of an optical densitometer (X-RITE 404) |
| Change from baseline of skin redness | Baseline (T0), 1 hour (T1h), 24 hours (T24h) | The instrumental measurement of skin redness is performed by the use of an optical colorimetry (Chroma Meter CR-200®) |
| Change from baseline of Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) | Baseline (T0), 1 hour (T1h), 24 hours (T24h) | The measurement of TEWL, performed by the use of Tewameter® TM300, allows to objectively monitor skin responses to cosmetic treatments. A shift from low-normal rates of TEWL to high levels is due to barrier disruption. |
| Change from baseline of Superficial skin hydration | Baseline (T0), 1 hour (T1h), 24 hours (T24h) | Skin electrical capacitance value is measured with Corneometer CM825 |
| Change from baseline of deep skin hydration | Baseline (T0), 1 hour (T1h), 24 hours (T24h) | Tissue dielectric constant of deep skin layers is measured with MoistureMeterD |
| Change from baseline of Epicutaneous pH | Baseline (T0), 1 hour (T1h), 24 hours (T24h) | Surface cutaneous pH is measured with pH meter HI5221 |
| Change from baseline of Surface microrelief's regularity | Baseline (T0), 1 hour (T1h), 24 hours (T24h) | Surface microrelief's regularity is performed on skin replicas images acquired by Primos compact portable |
