Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Cleanser, Serum, and Sunscreen Products for Facial Redness.

A Prospective, Open Label Clinical Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Cleanser, Serum, and Sunscreen Products for the Treatment of Facial Redness.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of combination therapy of a Barrier Renew Cleanser, Barrier Renew PM Moisturizer, and mineral sunscreen in the treatment of redness.

Enrolled subjects will undergo treatment with Barrier Renew Cleanser, Barrier Renew PM Moisturizer, and mineral sunscreen. Cleanser and Barrier Renew PM moisturizer will be used twice daily. Mineral sunscreen will be used every morning and throughout the day as indicated.

Subjects satisfying all inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled in this trial. Prior to receiving any study treatment, mandatory photography using the VISIA system will be done. Patients will return for follow-up assessments at week 2, 4 and 8.

• For female subjects of childbearing potential, must be willing to use an acceptable form of birth control during the entire course of the study. All systemic birth control measures must be in consistent use for at least 30 days prior to study enrollment.

  1. A female is considered of childbearing potential unless she is postmenopausal, without a uterus and/or both ovaries, or has had a bilateral tubal ligation.
