Application tests of cosmetics

Application tests (in-use) of cosmetics are carried out to verify the functional properties of the cosmetic product declared by the manufacturer and to confirm marketing declarations (claims).

Application tests are performed on an appropriately selected group of probands, under the strict supervision of a dermatologist (and, if necessary, also other specialists). They involve assessing the feelings of users who use the cosmetic for a specified period of time (e.g. 4 weeks) at home, in accordance with the indicated method of use. After this period, they express their opinion in a questionnaire. The assessment of performance properties is carried out in accordance with the product specification. Application tests are also performed to exclude the risk of use or any side effects resulting from the use of a given cosmetic.
