Dermatologically Approved
Clinical trials and testing help substantiate the assertions made about your new cosmetic product, including its Dermatologically approved status. This is essential for complying with regulatory standards in the EU and other regions.
Objective Clinical Assessment at our UK DermaCentre.
Clinical testing surpasses consumer testing by performing product evaluations on-site at the ADSL DermaCentre. This stage is pivotal in the development process, guaranteeing adherence to regulatory standards. Within the EU, clinical testing is imperative to fulfill the requirements outlined in Commission Regulation (EU) No 655/2013, which sets guidelines for claims made regarding cosmetic products, including those endorsed for dermatological use. Our clinical team and in-house dermatologist supervise the utilization of state-of-the-art technology to evaluate different parameters. We consistently improve our testing capacities to provide exceptional services.
