Comparison of Evaluation Methods of Human Soothing Efficacy of Cosmetics Based on Skin Color Analysis
The change of skin color can reflect the integrity and sensitivity of the skin barrier.Therefore,the non-invasive,objective,and quantitative evaluation of skin color is of great significance in assessing the soothing effect of cosmetics.In this paper,we reviewed the different detection techniques and instruments commonly used for skin color assessment to provide scientific basis for claims of soothing efficacy.And then,spectrophotometry and image analysis were selected to detect skin color.The Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between the two methods.
