Hydration / Moisturisers

TESTING

1 min read

Products aimed at changing the hydration of the skin are probably the most common after cleaning products. Hydration and moisturizing can be viewed on different levels from short-term, medium-term and long-term.

Short-term - investigate the stratum corneum and upper epidermis.

Medium-term - investigate also the activation of the dermis.

Long-term - evidence needs to be found from the dermis through to the vasculature and may be implicated from skin surface treatments and also diet.

Contributions within the dermis come not only from the fibroblasts and matrix production but also the sebaceous glands which regulate the production of lipids depending on their exposure and health.
