Studies

Study design – the saying ‘the claim dictates the test’ is a good starting point when considering the design of a study. Cutest has extensive experience of turning proposed claims into reality. The use of appropriate controls, selection of subjects and avoiding bias are key features of any study and Cutest will ensure that these principles are applied to your study.

Your results skilfully delivered the way you want them.

At Cutest we are end-goal driven and we always involve statistical planning in the study design process. This ensures the results will be relevant, with seamless project progression and rapid delivery.

We endeavour to provide your statistical results and report in the formal that is of most benefit to your regulatory request or marketing campaign. We will make clear that the assumptions you can induce from the data so that these can be properly passed on to the marketing department and provide valuable business insights on the next stage of your project.

Services offered include sample size calculations, product randomisation, and support for presentations or scientific publications.

At Cutest, we run our studies using the latest technology in dermatological testing. Our equipment includes: 

VISIA:  measures surface and sub-surface skin parameters such as: wrinkles, spots, brown spots, red spots, UV spots, texture, pores and porphyrins. The VISIA can also tell us the skin age of volunteers. 

EvaFace: evaluates changes in lines and wrinkles, eye bag volume, jawline sagging, cellulite and more with extreme precision. It uses 3D imaging to look at the depth and volume of wrinkles in areas such as crows feet.

Visioscan: measures smoothness and roughness of skin's texture. 

Tewameter: measuring device for the assessment of the trans-epidermal water loss. This parameter provides information on the strength of the skin's barrier function. 

Cutometer: measures elasticity and firmness. 

Colorimeter: determines the colour of skin and hair in the colour space and is intended for assessing the efficacy of cosmetic products.

Mexameter: measures melanin and erythema in the skin. 

Sebumeter: measures changes in sebum levels on the skin. 

Dermatoscope: produces high resolution photography of pigmentation.

Aquaflux: a closed chamber TEWL system, enabling barrier function to be measured in smaller areas than previously such as the lips.

Skin pH meter: measures the acidity or alkalinity of any aqueous solution.
