Results 1
The combination of Tewameter and Corneometer results showed that Oat® COM supported the increased rate of repair of the skin. The data additionally showed statistically significant better recovery than the control site on Day 5 for assessments of skin hydration, skin cracking and visual erythema. Visual erythema scores were extremely impressive.
Results 2
The assessment scores at day 1 showed skin damage rating from moderate erythema to severe erythema with oedema. This damage was completely resolved at day 5 in the Oat® COM coated patches, the control test site still showed well-defined erythema.
