Gynaecologically tested
User trials and claims are so important when it comes to getting new products to market, including if you want to justify your product as being ‘Gynaecologically tested’.
Objective Clinical Assessment at our UK DermaCentre.
Clinical testing goes beyond consumer testing by conducting product evaluations through on-site evaluations at the ADSL DermaCentre. This step is crucial in the development process as it ensures compliance with regulatory requirements. In the EU, clinical testing is essential for meeting the criteria set out in Commission Regulation (EU) No 655/2013, which establishes standards for claims made about cosmetic products, including those approved for gynaecological use. Our clinical team and resident dermatologist oversee the use of cutting-edge technology to assess various parameters. We continuously enhance our testing capabilities to deliver top-notch services.
