Abstract: Nevertheless, we share the authors' caution over corneometer measurements, and included visual skin dryness scoring in this study and have included additional measures of skin water content in our second study [[4]]. The authors offer evidence of the inferiority of the test products compared with another glycerol-containing but non-skin lipid/ceramide-containing product in the form of a single figure in a review article. The authors suggest that "The skin capacitance measures give the expected hydration improvements... due to the presence of glycerol in the products based upon its dielectric constant".
