Abstract

Skin 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 monopolar measurements with the three-electrode system are described.
