About this study
The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate the soothing effect of the test product within 2 hours after a single application by measuring changes in multiple indicators before and after product use. It will also assess the safety of the test product. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does the test product relieve skin irritation and reduce skin redness within 2 hours after single use?
- What adverse skin reactions do participants experience after using the test product?

Researchers will compare the treated half-face with the untreated contralateral half-face (split-face control) to verify the soothing efficacy of the test product.
Participants will:
- Receive skin redness induction on both cheeks, then apply the test product on one side of the face
- Undergo skin assessments at baseline before redness induction, post-induction, and at 10 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours after product application
- Complete clinical evaluation, instrumental measurement, image analysis and self-assessment questionnaires at each time point
- Conditions
- Skin Barrier Function, Skin Soothing Effect
- Being tested
- Test soothing facial mask
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Test soothing facial maskOther
Facial mask containing panthenol and madecassoside, applied on one hemiface for 15 minutes in single use after erythema induction.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Arm A ：Test Facial Mask Side | Experimental | Test half-face treatment: after skin erythema induction, trained investigator applies half-piece test facial mask on randomly assigned hemiface, kept for 15 minutes then removed. Receives: Other: Test soothing facial mask |
| Arm B ：Control Side | No intervention | Control half-face treatment: after skin erythema induction, no mask or test product applied on the contralateral hemiface. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Erythema index measured by Mexameter MX18
Skin erythema index of the hemiface will be measured by Mexameter MX18. Three consecutive valid readings will be taken and averaged for each measurement.
Measured: BL (before infrared induction), T0 (immediately after induction), 10 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours after induction
Secondary outcomes (4)
Dermatologist clinical assessment of skin redness
Dermatologists perform clinical assessment of skin redness using modified Griffiths 10-point scale (0-9, half-point increments allowed). Whenever possible, the same dermatologist assesses the same participant; the rater is not permitted to refer to previous scores for post-baseline evaluations.
Measured: BL (before infrared induction), T0 (immediately after induction), 10 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours after induction
VISIA-CR facial photography
Standardized facial images (front, left, right) are captured under 4 lighting modes including standard light 1, standard light 2, cross polarized and parallel polarized light.
Measured: BL (before infrared induction), T0 (immediately after induction), 10 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours after induction
TiVi700 measurement of skin microcirculation
TiVi700 captures skin microvascular red blood cell concentration (TiVi index) on bilateral cheek regions to assess cutaneous microcirculation status.
Measured: BL (before infrared induction), T0 (immediately after induction), 10 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours after induction
Subject self-assessment questionnaire for skin sensory symptoms
Subjects self-grade stinging, itching, burning and tightness on a 0-4 intensity scale. Score 0 = none; Score 1 = very slight; Score 2 = slight; Score3 = moderate; Score4 = severe.
Measured: 10 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours after infrared induction
