This study measured skin hydration and occlusivity of two test products [halobetasol propionate lotion, 0.05% (HBP Lotion) and Ultravate® (halobetasol propionate) cream, 0.05% (HBP Cream)] at 2, 4, and 6 hours after application to skin test sites previously challenged by dry shaving, which was performed to compromise the integrity of the stratum corneum barrier.
Trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), an indicator of skin barrier function, was measured using cyberDERM, inc. RG-1 evaporimeter. Skin hydration was evaluated using IBS SkiCon-200 conductance meter. Test products were applied bilaterally on dry-shaved sites on the volar forearm sites, according to a randomization scheme, with two test sites untreated to serve as "dry-shaved" controls. TEWL and conductance were measured at 2, 4, and 6 hours post-treatment.
HBP Lotion displayed a significant increase in skin hydration at 2, 4, and 6 hours post-treatment compared to the baseline values and dry-shaved controls (each, P less than 0.001). However, HBP Cream produced statistically significant increased skin hydration only after 6 hours (P less than 0.05). HBP Lotion was significantly more effective than HBP Cream in increasing skin hydration at 2 and 4 hours post-treatment (each, P less than 0.001), and had a directional advantage (not statistically significant) at 6 hours. Neither test product had a significant occlusive effect as measured by TEWL at 2, 4, and 6 hours post-application.
Both formulations of HBP (Lotion and Cream) contributed to skin moisturization, as measured by skin conductance. HBP Lotion produced a significantly more rapid onset and higher level of moisturization at 2 and 4 hours post-application compared to HBP Cream. The TEWL results indicate that neither HBP Lotion nor HBP Cream provided any significant occlusivity to the skin.

.本研究测量了两种受试产品[0.05%丙酸氯倍他索洗剂(HBP洗剂)和0.05%卤米松乳膏(HBP乳膏)]在涂抹于先前因干剃而受损的皮肤测试部位后2小时、4小时和6小时的皮肤水合作用和封闭性,干剃是为了破坏角质层屏障的完整性。
使用cyberDERM公司的RG-1蒸发仪测量经表皮水分流失(TEWL),这是皮肤屏障功能的一个指标。使用IBS SkiCon-200电导仪评估皮肤水合作用。根据随机方案,将受试产品双侧涂抹于掌侧前臂干剃部位,有两个测试部位不进行处理作为“干剃”对照。在治疗后2小时、4小时和6小时测量TEWL和电导。
与基线值和干剃对照相比,HBP洗剂在治疗后2小时、4小时和6小时皮肤水合作用显著增加(均P<0.001)。然而,HBP乳膏仅在6小时后皮肤水合作用有统计学显著增加(P<0.05)。在治疗后2小时和4小时,HBP洗剂在增加皮肤水合作用方面显著比HBP乳膏更有效(均P<0.001),并且在6小时时有方向性优势(无统计学显著性)。在涂抹后2小时、4小时和6小时,通过TEWL测量,两种受试产品均无显著的封闭作用。
通过皮肤电导测量,HBP的两种剂型(洗剂和乳膏)均有助于皮肤保湿。与HBP乳膏相比,HBP洗剂在涂抹后2小时和4小时产生显著更快的起效和更高水平的保湿作用。TEWL结果表明,HBP洗剂和HBP乳膏均未对皮肤提供任何显著的封闭性。
