Balmex AdultAdvantage Clinical Study Results
Statistically Significant Clinical Trial Study Supports Balmex Formulation Claim of Fast Relief
A clinical study* was recently conducted by the Consumer Product Testing Company to determine the efficacy, specifically speed of performance, of Balmex AdultAdvantage skin relief cream in reducing redness due to incontinence-related dermatitis. Further objectives were to determine speed of performance in reducing heat (calor), as a symptom of inflammation, and in improving skin barrier integrity of the affected skin, after use of Balmex AdultAdvantage.

Subjects accepted into the study were visually assessed, clinically graded, and instrumental measurements and photographic images were taken prior to application of the test product. All data were entered onto Individual Clinical Record Forms.
An expert grader examined and graded each subject per the following scales (half-point increments were used) with results recorded on the subject’s clinical record form:
- Clinical Grading of Incontinence Rash
- Area of Involvement
- Erythma/Redness Test-Site
- Instrumental Methods Metrics
- Photography (Digital Imaging)
- Skin Temperature
- Colorimeter
- Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS)
- Transepidermal Water Loss
Clinical Study Results:
Under the conditions of the study, it was determined that statistically significant differences (improvement) in the visual evaluations, clinical grading, erythema/redness, and area of involvement after one application within three hours.
These findings indicate that Balmex AdultAdvantage can help reduce the effects of incontinence-associated dermatitis and prevent more serious complications.
