Clinical Summary
Study Overview
01
Objective
Evaluate 72-hour moisturisation activity and sebum control (primary). Secondary: barrier function (TEWL), erythema reduction, and safety and tolerability on oily and sensitive skin.
Sebum reduced −18.2% at 1hr (78.63→64.28 µg/cm²). Hydration increased +51% at 30 min. Barrier improved +16% at 24 hr, sustained at 48 hr. Erythema peaked at −16% reduction at 48 hr. All four metrics showed clinically meaningful improvement. 0 adverse events.
