Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Image Capture using VisioScan® VC20plusBaseline, Time point 4Week.Skin image will be captured using VisioScan® VC20plus (Courage + Khazaka) with Sebufix® F 16. Sebum production will be evaluated through sebum spot size and sebum distribution gradient using SELS software.
Skin hydration on the cheeksBaseline, Time point at 1Week , Time point at 4Week, Time point at 5Week, Time point at 6Week.Skin hydration on the cheeks will be measured by Corneometer® CM 825 by trained technician.
Clinical scoring for Counting of AcneTimepoint 2Week before baseline,Baseline, Time point at 1Week , Time point at 4Week, Time point at 5Week, Time point at 6Week.Clinical scoring for counting of acne lesions (inflammatory, non-inflammatory, and total), acne severity IGA, and post-inflammatory erythema (PIE) count will be performed by a dermatologist on the global face area. The IGA (Investigator's Global Assessment for acne severity) is rated on a 5-point scale (0 = clear, 4 = severe), as defined in the protocol. PIE is recorded as a numeric count of red marks. Acne lesions (papules, pustules, blackheads, whiteheads) are counted individually.
Clinical scoring for Redness around acneBaseline,Time point immediate, Time point at 1Day, Time point at 3Day, Time point at 1Week , Time point at 4Week, Time point at 5Week, Time point at 6Week.Clinical scoring for redness around acne will be performed by a dermatologist using a visual scale from 0 to 9, where 0 = no redness and 9 = intense redness, as defined in the protocol. Half-point scores (e.g., 0.5) may be used.
Clinical scoring for Diameter of tracking one AcneBaseline,Time point immediate, Time point at 1Day, Time point at 3Day, Time point at 1Week.The measurement of the diameter of one tracking inflammatory acne lesion will be performed by a dermatologist using a skin ruler. The maximum diameter in millimeters (mm) will be recorded at each time point.
Clinical scoring for Cheek Sebaceous PoresTimepoint 2Week before baseline, Baseline,Time point immediate, Time point at 1Week , Time point at 4Week, Time point at 5Week, Time point at 6Week.Clinical scoring for cheek sebaceous pores (based on the Skin Aging Atlas, Asian type), as well as for redness, smoothness, radiance, brightness, and softness, will be performed by a dermatologist using a visual grading scale from 0 to 9, as defined in the protocol. Half-point scores (e.g., 0.5) may be used.
TEWL on the cheeksBaseline, Time point at 1Week , Time point at 4Week, Time point at 5Week, Time point at 6Week.TEWL on the cheeks will be measured by Vapometer by trained technician.
Sebum secretion on foreheadBaseline, Time point at 1Week , Time point at 4Week, Time point at 5Week, Time point at 6Week.Sebum secretion on forehead will be measured by Sebumeter® SM 815 by trained technician.
Image capture and analysis(facial photo)Baseline, Time point immediate, Time point at 1Day, Time point at 3Day, Time point at 1Week , Time point at 4Week, Time point at 5Week, Time point at 6Week.The facial photo will be captured by VISIA CRP (Canfield, Gen 5.0) on left, front and right sides with Standard 1, Cross-Polarized, Parallel-Polarized, UV operated by trained technician. -Demo for Pore area, skin reflection under Standard 1 and acne demo under Cross-Polarized.
One tracking active acne imageBaseline,Time point immediate, Time point at 1Day, Time point at 3Day, Time point at 1Week.One active inflammatory acne lesion will be imaged using Antera® 3D (Miravex). Image analysis will include acne volume (mm³) and area (mm²), using the Antera 3D CS software.
Image Capture and Analysis(RCM)Baseline, Time point 4Week.RCM (Reflectance Confocal Microscopy) will be captured on target acne -microcomedone ratio, size, hyper-keratin ratio will be analyzed.
