Popis: Background/Purpose Facial cleansing is important to clean and exfoliate the skin while maintaining optimal physiologic function. However, there is insufficient data on the very early stage of skin change after applying soap or cleansing foam. We investigated the recovery kinetics of facial skin physiology during 180 min after exposure to the cleanser. Methods For the study, 22 Korean female subjects with normal and dry to oily skin type were recruited in this study. Study subjects were required to have face washing done within the 12 hours prior to visiting the research center, with only toner, lotion, or cream applied. The next day, the subjects visited the research center without face washing. We evaluated the skin hydration (Corneometer® CM 825), sebum (Sebumeter® SM 815), transepidermal water loss (Tewameter® TM 300), and pH (Skin-pH-Meter® PH 905) to define recovery kinetics of facial skin physiology during 180 min exposure post-cleansing. Results Skin hydration, sebum, and TEWL were significantly decreased at 20 min after washing, as compared to the baseline (P
