This study aims to compare the effects of two different methods of applying hyaluronic acid (HA) on skin parameters in healthy individuals. HA is a widely used ingredient in skincare products due to its hydrating properties. However, it is unclear whether applying HA to dry or pre-moistened skin provides better results in terms of skin hydration and texture.
In this non-invasive, interventional trial, 23 healthy volunteers aged 18 to 50 will be randomly assigned to two groups. One group will apply HA to dry skin, while the other will apply HA to moistened skin. Skin parameters will be measured before and after the intervention to assess hydration, transepidermal water loss, and overall skin condition.
The aim is to determine the optimal method of HA application that maximizes its effectiveness in improving skin quality. Participants may benefit from improved skin hydration and increased awareness of the best application method for their skin type. No significant risks are expected from participation.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dry Skin Application | Experimental | Participants in this group applied hyaluronic acid topically to clean, dry skin. The aim was to evaluate hydration and skin parameter changes following this method of application. |
|
| Moist Skin Application | Experimental | Participants in this group applied hyaluronic acid topically to pre-moistened skin. The goal was to assess whether applying the product to damp skin enhances its hydrating effect. |

| Topical Hyaluronic Acid | Other | Hyaluronic acid was applied topically to the facial skin of healthy participants once daily for a period of 3 weeks. Two application methods were used: on dry skin and on pre-moistened skin. Skin measurements were performed at baseline and after each week of intervention (Week 1, Week 2, and Week 3) to assess hydration and other skin parameters. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in skin hydration level | Skin hydration will be measured at four time points using a corneometer or comparable non-invasive skin analysis device. Measurements will be taken before the intervention (baseline) and at the end of each week to assess cumulative and comparative effects of hyaluronic acid application. | Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3 |
