What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change From Baseline in Trans-epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) Following Application of Test Regimen on Face (Area 1 Compared to Area 2) at Day 29
TEWL was measured using the Tewameter TM 300. TEWL is a non-invasive method to measure the integrity of stratum corneum barrier function. Tewameter probe measures the density gradient of the water evaporation from the skin indirectly by two pairs of sensors (temperature and relative humidity) inside a hollow cylinder. The probe was held in place on the skin for one measurement, for 40 sec, to ensure that a stable value has been established. The values of the last 10 sec are averaged as the actual measurement values. An increase in TEWL values shows damage to the skin barrier function. TEWL was measured at area 1 (right face) and 2 (left face) at baseline visit (Visit 2) prior to any study product application and then measured throughout the study period per the study schedule. Change from baseline was calculated as the value at specified visit (Visit 5/Day 29) minus the baseline value.
Measured: Baseline and Day 29

Change From Baseline in Corneometer Values Following Application of Test Regimen on Face (Area 1 Compared to Area 2) at Two Different Time-points [30 Minutes (Mins) and 6 Hrs After First Application] at Day 1 and One Time-point at Day 2
Stratum corneum (SC) moisturization measured using the Corneometer CM 825. The measuring principle is based on changes in the capacitance of the measuring head, functioning as condensator. The electric field was created between gold conductors to enable the dielectricity of the SC to be measured. Because the dielectricity varies as a function of the skin's water content, the SC moisturization was measured. Corneometer probe was placed in contact with the skin of the participants test site for 1 to 2 sec per measurement. The measurement will be taken 5 times in total and then an average reading will be calculated for each site and time point. The Corneometer values lower than 30 international units (i.u) represent very dry skin and values between 30 to 50 i.u represent dry skin on the forearm. Higher value of Corneometer indicates high moisture content. The area 1 (right face) and area 2 (left face) were considered.
Measured: Baseline, 30 mins and 6 hrs after first treatment application on Day 1 and 24 hrs after treatment application on Day 2

Change From Pre-challenge in TEWL Following Application of Test Regimen on Face (Area 3 Compared to Area 4) at 3 Different Time Points of Strips Removal (3,6 and 9) at Day 29
Tape-stripping method was used to evaluate the impact of physical challenge to the skin barrier after product use. Stripping challenge was performed on D-Squame sites on area 3 (right face) and area 4 (left face) at Day 29 by sequential application and removal of D-Squame adhesive 3, 6, and 9 discs. A Series of D-Squame discs were applied over the areas with uniform pressure for 5 sec with a stamp to ensure consistent adhesion to the skin. The disc was pulled off the skin with one fluent and decisive movement. TEWL was measured pre-challenge and after 3, 6, and 9 discs had been removed. TEWL was measured using the Tewameter TM 300. Tewameter probe measures the density gradient of the water evaporation from the skin indirectly by two pairs of sensors (temperature and relative humidity) inside a hollow cylinder. TEWL measurement was taken in triplicate. The average reading was considered for each area and time point. An increase in TEWL values shows damage to the skin barrier function.

Total Protein Content Extracted From D-Squame Discs From a Total of 9 Adhesive Discs on Face (Area 3 Compared to Area 4) at Day 29
Total protein content was measured using the SquameScan 850. SquameScan 850 is an instrument used to measure the protein content extracted from the skin by D-Squame tape strips. The determination is carried out by measuring the optical absorption of the strip at 850 nanometers (nm). Value displayed in percentage (%) was proportionally related to protein content. An 18 D-Squame discs were taken from participant (two sets of 9 discs from each side of the face). The protein content was analyzed for each of the discs obtained from the D-Squame stripping on area 3 (right face) and area 4 (left face) on Day 29.
Measured: Day 29
Total Protein Content Extracted From D-Squame Discs From a Total of 12 Adhesive Discs on Leg (Area 7 Compared to Area 8) at Day 29
Total protein content was measured using the SquameScan 850. SquameScan 850 is an instrument used to measure the protein content extracted from the skin by D-Squame tape strips. The determination is carried out by measuring the optical absorption of the strip at 850 nm. Value displayed in percentage (%) was proportionally related to protein content. An 24 D-Squame discs were taken from participant (two sets of 12 discs from the two separate sites of each lower leg). The protein content was analyzed for each of the discs obtained from the D-Squame stripping on area 7 (right leg) and area 8 (left leg) on Day 29.

Primary outcome
Change From Baseline in Trans-epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) Following Application of Test Regimen on Face (Area 1 Compared to Area 2) at Day 29
Time frame: Baseline and Day 29
TEWL was measured using the Tewameter TM 300. TEWL is a non-invasive method to measure the integrity of stratum corneum barrier function. Tewameter probe measures the density gradient of the water evaporation from the skin indirectly by two pairs of sensors (temperature and relative humidity) inside a hollow cylinder. The probe was held in place on the skin for one measurement, for 40 sec, to ensure that a stable value has been established. The values of the last 10 sec are averaged as the actual measurement values. An increase in TEWL values shows damage to the skin barrier function. TEWL was measured at area 1 (right face) and 2 (left face) at baseline visit (Visit 2) prior to any study product application and then measured throughout the study period per the study schedule. Change from baseline was calculated as the value at specified visit (Visit 5/Day 29) minus the baseline value.

What does the primary outcome measure?
Change From Baseline in Trans-epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) Following Application of Test Regimen on Face (Area 1 Compared to Area 2) at Day 29 (time frame: Baseline and Day 29). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
