217623 - 12-Hour Forearm Moisturisation Study - Study Details and Application - £120

Study Overview

Eurofins Alba are inviting you to take part in a 12-h moisturisation study. The objective of the study is to evaluate the moisturisation potential of a product over a 12-hour time period of test materials (with an untreated control site). Corneometer® and TEWL® measurements will be taken at predetermined time points.

Recruited volunteers will be asked to perform a wash-out phase prior to study commencement. They will be asked not to apply any moisturisers or use moisturising products on their forearms for 3 days before this study starts and for the duration of the study. Volunteers will attend a screening visit on Monday, 09 March 2026. Appointments are between 9am to 3:30pm, and this visit will take approximately 1 hour. Corneometer® measurements will be taken to determine if the forearms are dry enough.

Volunteers accepted on the study will return on Thursday, 12 March 2026 at 7am for the main day. Baseline (0h) Corneometer® and TEWL® measurements will be taken from the sites on the forearms. The test materials will then be applied to the forearms by test personnel. One area on the forearms will remain untreated, designated as the untreated control site. Volunteers will have further Corneometer® and TEWL® measurements taken at pre-determined timepoints. Volunteers will remain at the test centre until the 12h assessment has been completed on day one.
