Dry and Sensitive Skin
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a single-center, open-label, split-face, site-randomized validation study, NB250045-NB-V designed to establish and confirm the reliability, reproducibility, and sensitivity of various skin measurement methods. Evaluator blinding will be implemented to minimize observer bias.
Detailed description
Each subject will serve as their own control, with right side of the face receiving the ceramide-containing moisturizer and the left side receiving water application as the control. This split-face approach reduces inter-subject variability and enables direct intra-individual comparison of the measurement methods across treated and control sites. The study involves a single on-site visit for each subject. * Baseline (pre-application): Subjects will undergo acclimatization in a controlled environment, after which baseline assessments will be performed for skin parameters on both test and control sites. * Application phase: The ceramide-containing moisturizer and water control will be applied to the randomized sites under investigator supervision. * Post-application assessments: Instrumental evaluations will be done at T15 mins following product application.
Interventions
OTHERMarketed Product - CeraVe Moisturizer
The test cream was applied topically once daily to the designated treatment area. An adequate amount was gently massaged into clean, dry skin until fully absorbed. Participants were instructed not to wash the treated area for a specified period after application. The application procedure was standardized and followed consistently throughout the study duration.

Exclusion criteria
* 1\) History of any dermatological condition of the skin diseases. 2) Subject with present condition of allergic response to any cosmetic product. 3) Subject having allergic response to the ink. 4) Subjects under chronic medication (e.g. aspirin-based products, anti-inflammatories, anti-histamines, corticotherapy etc.) that might influence the outcome of the study. 5\) Subjects who have applied topical treatment for at least 4 weeks and any systemic treatment for at least 3 months, before they participated in the study. 6\) History of alcohol or drug addiction. 7) Subjects using other marketed products during the study period. 8) Any other condition which could warrant exclusion from the study, as per the dermatologist's/investigator's discretion. 9\) Pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period. 10\) History of chronic illness which may influence the cutaneous state. 11) Subjects participating in other similar cosmetics, devices or therapeutic trials or skincare products within the last four weeks.
