Correlation of transepidermal water loss with skin barrier propertiesin vitro: comparison of three evaporimeters

Aim: This study investigates the relationship between transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and skin permeability to tritiated water as a rapid assessment of the integrity of the barrier properties of skin as part of in vitro skin permeation studies. Methods: TEWL values before and during the experimental period were measured using three evaporimeters (A, B, and C) representing different measuring principles and technologies. Single application of...
