Electrochemistry Measurement of Skin Hydration Parameters (SKINBIOSENSE)

October 15, 2021 updated by: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

Pilot Study Assessing the Feasibility and Reliability of Measurements of Skin's Parameters Hydration by Electrochemistry

To date measuring the effect of dermocosmetic products on the main identified factors of aging and alteration of the skin barrier is based on invasive and expensive experiments. Electrochemistry enables to measure a specific signal for a substance of interest e.g. Vitamin C using an surface contact with an electrode.

Therefore, this study will evaluate the reliability and feasibility of measurements of skin's hydration parameters such as NMF and squalene using electrochemistry. These study will be made on three groups of individuals with different skin types: dry skin i.e. atopic dermatitis patients, oily skin i.e. acne skin and a control group of individual without facial dermatosis. Collects of parameters of interest will be made by using patch using electrochemistry (contact with an electrode and potentiostat to detect an electric signal) . It is a simple method that relies on a sensor / electrode pair that allows a study of the surface molecules of the skin. Application in the measurement of vitamin C in food products has already been validated.

On a second hand, a collect by chromatography of the parameters of interest will be carried out in order to compare the new method with the reference method.

This procedure has been developed via a procedure including collecting surface parameters using a patch an developping special electrodes and miniaturized detecting signal tool (potentiostat)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Feasibility of collecting an electrochemical measure of skin hydration parameter (natural moisturizer factor electric signal) at two different sites of the face at T0 using patch and electrode
Time Frame: Day 0 or Day 1
Feasibility of collecting an electrochemical measure of skin hydration parameter (natural moisturizer factor electric signal) at two different sites of the face at T0 using patch and electrode. Signal detection (mVolt) or not using a patch to collect skin surface parameter applied on an electrode to collect and electric signal.
Day 0 or Day 1

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Validation of the measure process for different skin type e.g: dry, oily, normal
Time Frame: Day 0 or Day 1
Rate of failure by site or skin type, obtained measure mean and SD for all and regarding each group
Day 0 or Day 1
Determine the correlation between electrochemistry measures or skin hydration (level of electrical signal mvolt ) and reference method: corneometry or chromatography.
Time Frame: Day 0 or Day 1
Those two methods are routinely used to asses skin hydration using a swab contact then migration in a chromatography column or use of sebumeter Correlation coefficient between level of electrochemical measure (signal) regarding skin types and measures issued from reference methodology (corneometry or chromatography)
Day 0 or Day 1
Describe individuals' habits or daily routine for skin care using a questionnairemethodology (corneometry or chromatography)
Time Frame: Day 0 or Day 1
Descriptive statistics: smoke, sun exposure, moisturizer use
Day 0 or Day 1
