To confirm the efficacy of a cosmetic product, Mérieux NutriSciences resorts to a multi-instrumental and integrated approach that exploits the potential of multiple techniques to provide a sound evidential support both for already existing claims and for the new ones.

IN VITRO EFFICACY TESTS

In vitro test and methods: an approach that allows the simultaneous testing of more formulations and the preliminary evaluation of the efficacy before or in combination with in vivo studies (pre-clinical test methods).

IN VIVO EFFICACY TESTS

In vivo instrumental evaluations (image analyzer and bio-engineering technologies): visual evidence with actual and quantifiable data. All clinical tests are carried out by skilled and qualified specialists, with many years of experience: tests are performed according to international standards and abiding by ethical principles listed in the Declaration of Helsinki.

• Clinical evaluation: evaluation of a cosmetic product through clinical score at the beginning and at the end of the trial
• Expert evaluation: through a team of experts such as cosmetologists, beauticians and hairdressers
• Self-evaluation: through a questionnaire
