Sensitive Skin: Assessment of the Skin Barrier Using Confocal Raman Microspectroscopy

Conclusion: The skin barrier in SS is not impaired in terms of SC thickness, water, NMF, and ceramides/fatty acid content. The failure of biophysical techniques to follow alterations in the molecular composition of the skin barrier revealed by CRS emphasizes a strong need in sensitive and specific tools for in vivo skin barrier analysis.Skin Pharmacol Physiol 2017;30:1-12
