Skin hydration under an irritation challenge
Biro et al. · Contact Dermatitis · 2003
- What was studied?
- A cream with 5% dexpanthenol and its comparison base under an experimental SLS irritation challenge.
- What was observed?
- Measured skin hydration was more favourable than with the comparison base.
- Context
- Among the reported measures, corneometry showed a statistically significant difference. This does not establish that NOCTE is non-irritating.
