Evalulab offers a wide range of tests from in-use studies to instrumental clinical measurements to support your product claims and particularly your cosmetics claims (moisturizing, anti-wrinkle, anti-aging , anti- dark circles … ) or therapeutic claims ( sunscreen, anti- herpes, anti-acne products …) for targeted consumer segments (women, men , ethnicity… ).
Anti-Wrinkle
Wrinkles and fine lines, selected in several zones of the face (eye contour area, forehead, lip contour…) are analyzed directly from the photographs using a software algorithm.
Firmness | Elasticity
The device measurement principle is based on the ability of the skin to respond to a mechanical deformation. The device can measure several parameters such as skin firmness, elasticity and tonicity.
Hydrating | Moisturizing
The hydrating effect of a topical product may be evaluated over short or long term. The Corneometer® measures the hydration on the superficial layers of the skin. The MoistureMeterD® allows the measurement of hydration up to 8 mm skin deep.
Anti-Dark Spots | Anti-Age spots
A specialized software detects and analyzes dark spots directly on the captured photographs. The dark spots may also be analyzed using the Mexameter®.
Anti-Aging
The anti-aging effect is evaluated with several test parameters.
Skin Brightening
A specialized software analyzes five zones of interest on the face to evaluate the global appearance of the face skin. The measured parameters are skin tone evenness and skin color.
Self-Tanning
A specialized software analyzes five zones of interest on the face to evaluate the global appearance of the face skin. The measured parameters are skin tone evenness and skin color.
Skin Cell Renewal
The method is based on the ability of dansyl chloride to adhere to cells in the superficial layers of epidermis and fluoresce under UV light.
Anti-Dark Circles
A specialized software detects and analyzes under-eye dark circles directly on the captured photographs.
Anti-Puffiness | Reduction of Under-Eye Bags
The degree of under-eye puffiness is graded by expert judges using a standard scale developed by Evalulab Inc. and approved by external consultants.
Exfoliation | Desquamation
The D-Squame® is a transparent adhesive used to sample the superficial layers of skin (squames). The collected samples are quantified by image analysis before and after product usage.
Skin Protection | Repair
The skin protective barrier function is assessed by measuring Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) with the Tewameter®.
Anti-Sebum | Sebum Control
The sebum levels of the skin may be measured with the Sebumeter®. The sebaceous gland activity and therefore the sebum production can be determined using the Sebutape®.
Minimize skin pores
Skin pores are detected and analyzed directly on the captured photographs using a software.
Anti-Acne
An evaluation and comparison of the skin condition is performed before and after product use. The investigator count the number of acne lesions (papules and pustules) on forehead, cheeks and chin.
Purifying
Photographs taken under UV lighting mode allows to visualize and quantify porphyrin on skin surface.
Rosacea Reduction
Rosacea on cheeks and nose is analyzed directly on the captured photographs using a specialized software. The severity of rosacea depends on the affected surface area and the color/redness intensity.
Effect on Falling Eyelids (Ptosis)
The degree of upper eyelid ptosis is graded by expert judges using a standard scale developed Evalulab Inc. and approved by external consultants.
Lip Balm
Lip dryness is evaluated by volunteers and graded by expert judges. In addition, the hydration of lips superficial layers may be measured with the Corneometer®.
Anti-pollution protection
This study helps to determine the effectiveness of products to protect the skin against every day pollutants.
