- ‘Locally-Resolved Visualization of Skin Barrier Function’ by Georgios Stamatas, PhD, showcasing a new method for visually demonstrating product effects on the skin barrier (patent pending)
- ‘In Vivo Confocal Raman Spectroscopy as a Sensitive Tool to Evaluate Skin Barrier Integrity and Topical Product Performance Using Caffeine Penetration’ by Natascha Hennighausen, demonstrating an innovative approach to assessing skin barrier defense against external aggressors
These sessions will showcase advanced techniques for assessing skin barrier performance and product efficacy in vivo. In addition, Georgios Stamatas will chair a dedicated session looking at skin imaging on June 11, 2026.
