Abstract:

The skin surface, especially on the face, is constantly subject to many external aggressions which can affect its moisturization state, and this is notably the case in harsh weather conditions during the winter period. As a result skin hydration remains one of the most unfulfilled cosmetic claims amongst consumers. Depending on the type of product tested and the ingredients it contains (emollients, humectants etc.), the choice of the suitable method to assess skin moisturization differs. This presentation will review the various in vivo methods available to support moisturizing and skin barrier protection claims. It will also extend to other skin characteristics such as skin radiance which is influenced by skin moisturization. Finally the notion of healthy skin which can be partially linked with the moisturization state of the skin will be described.
