Moisturization and skin barrier function
Dermatologic Therapy, 2004Over the past decade, great progress has been made toward elucidating the structure and function of the stratum corneum (SC), the outermost layer of the epidermis. SC cells (corneocytes) protect against desiccation and environmental challenge by regulating water flux and retention.

Appearance benefits of skin moisturization
Skin Research and Technology, 2010Background/purpose: Skin hydration is essential for skin health. Moisturized skin is generally regarded as healthy and healthy looking. It is thus speculated that there may be appearance benefits of skin moisturization. This means that there are corresponding changes in the optical properties when skin is moisturized.Methods: The appearance of the ...

Electrical Methods for Skin Moisture Assessment
Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 1995Skin sites on 8 test subjects were treated with moisturizers, and different electrical measuring methods were compared regarding their quality in the assessment of the induced changes in the stratum corneum hydration level. Low frequency susceptance measurements were found preferable to high frequency admittance measurements, and the advantages of ...
