Figure 1

Lotion application improved leg skin hydration and cohesivity. Skin hydration was assessed at baseline and after 5 weeks of lotion application (n = 37) via (a) visual dryness and (b) corneometer. Stratum corneum cohesivity was assessed by protein removal on (c) 5 sequential tape strips and (d) 20 sequential tape strips (n = 36). Box whisker plots showing mean and upper and lower quartiles. Connecting line with an asterisk indicates a statistically significant difference.
