Summary

This study checks if special skin devices can reliably measure changes from a ceramide moisturizer compared to water. Fifteen adults with dry, sensitive skin will apply the cream to one side of their face and water to the other. Researchers will measure skin glow, hydration, water loss, smoothness, roughness, scaliness, and oil levels to validate the instruments.
