Trial overview
Official title: An Exploratory Study to Assess Two Accelerated Models of Barrier Repair
Trial description: The study is intended to identify a method capable of measuring repair of skin barrier function in no more than two weeks. The barrier of the skin will be perturbed by tape stripping before or after product application. Barrier function will be measured at several time points to assess the degree of repair. In addition, a statistical method will be explored in the hope that results from it will be more sensitive to changes in barrier function.

- Participant has a minimum dryness grading of 2 (moderate) on both lower legs at the Baseline visit as assessed by a Trained Examiner. No more than 0.5 point difference in dryness between the right and left leg corresponding quadrant (upper or lower) and between the upper and lower part of either leg.
Exclusion criteria:
- Pregnant or breast–feeding women
- Menopausal and peri-menopausal women or women experiencing signs and effects of the menopause (e.g. facial flushing).
- Known or suspected intolerance or hypersensitivity to the study materials (or closely related compounds) or any of their stated ingredients.
- Participation in another clinical study or receipt of an investigational drug within 30 days of the screening visit or who are scheduled to receive an investigational drug other than the study products during the study.
- Used contraindicated prescription or non-prescription drugs or medicines within 30 days of first using study product. Currently using any medication which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may affect the evaluation of the study products or place the participant at undue risk.
- Participant taking medication for any skin condition, specifically rosacea, acne or atopic dermatitis/eczema, in the test area.
- Topical or systemic use of steroids; occasional use of inhaled steroids is permitted.
- Topical or systemic antihistamines (occasional use of topical antihistamines permitted, except to area of skin to be studied), retinoids (e.g. retinoic acid or retinol), immunosuppressive drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, aesthetic or dermatological treatment involving the area of skin to be studied.
- Recent history (within the last 1 year) of alcohol or other substance abuse.
- Participant has a skin condition in the test area e.g. rosacea, atopic dermatitis/eczema or acne.
- Moles, tattoos, scars, hairs, etc at the test areas if it is likely that they could affect the assessments.
- Use of self-tanning products on the test areas within 2 weeks prior to the screening visit.
- Participant has had prolonged, unprotected sun exposure on the legs within the last 1 week.
- Participant has visible sunburn on the lower legs at the baseline visit.
