Friction and vibration generated during sliding over bare skin correlate with perceived smoothness and moistness

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
A tactile sensor with a probe replicating a fingerprint quantified skin texture by measuring vibration and friction. Regression analysis linked smoothness and moistness perceptions with high‐frequency vibration amplitude and friction. These findings support the objective assessment of skin texture, enhancing product evaluation consistency and bridging ...
