Efficacy Testing
Efficacy tests are intended not only to fulfil the requirements of legislation, but also to add value to a product. Knowing that products have been rigorously tested before being put on the market increases consumer confidence when using them. This trust is essential for maintaining companies' reputations, protecting consumers' health and increasing sales in an progressively competitive market.
These types of claims can be assessed using various methods:
Clinical assessment by specialists/dermatologists
Biometric determinations, using devices such as the Corneometer, Cutometer, Tewameter, Colorimeter, Sebumeter, Skin pHMeter, Texture analyzer, etc.
