Description

The optimal method and dosage for topical application of moisturizers (Hirudoid®Soft and Hirudoid®Lotion) were investigated. To this end, we examined the Finger-tip unit(FTU), moisturizing effects for artificial dry skin at varying dosages, moisturizing effects at varying frequencies of application, and the relationship of moisturizing effects to the timing of topical application after bathing. The results suggest that FTU serves as a convenient and reliable indicator of the optimal dosage of moisturizers, and that higher moisturizing effects may be obtained if the moisturizers are applied at dosages slightly higher than the seemingly appropriate dosage, at frequencies higher than usual and soon after bathing.
