Efficacy
Evaluation of a Skin Treatment Product to Substantiate a Cell Renewal
Claim Using the Dansyl Chloride Technique |
| Objective: |
To
determine if the use of a skin treatment product improves the rate
of cell renewal/skin turnover. |
| Subjects: |
30
qualified women |
| Timing: |
3-4
week study
Start within 2 weeks of receipt of samples
Final report issued within 4 weeks after completion |
| Quantity: |
35
individual containers with enough product to last for 4(+) weeks |
|
Procedures: |
After a 2-week washout period, subjects are patched with dansyl chloride,
a fluorescent die, on 2 test sites on the upper arm. Five hours later
the patches are removed, and the fluorescence (under a black lamp)
of each site is scored according to scale. Product is applied to one
site, the other site remains untreated to serve as a control. Each
morning subjects come to the testing facility when a fluorescence
intensity reading is made of each site. Product is applied by a technician,
and applied by the subject each night at home to the designated test
site. This procedure is repeated daily (except Saturday and Sunday)
until a fluorescence intensity value of 0 is achieved.
