Standardization of skin cleansing in vivo: part II. Validation of a newly developed Automated Cleansing Device (ACiD)

Intra- and inter-device specific test results of an in vivo model of skin cleansing using the automated cleansing device (ACiD) were reproducible. The long-term aim is a standardized classification of occupational skin cleansing products comparing their skin cleansing effectiveness in relation to their skin irritancy. This might then provide the basis for a rational specific product selection by consumers and may be used as a tool for future product development by manufacturers.
