Abstract
The invention relates to biomarkers in children's skin, in particular in the skin of infants, the expression of which changes when the skin is dry. Such markers are particularly advantageous in that they allow the skin's response to dehydration to be monitored. The inventors have developed methods for evaluating the in vitro efficacy of formulations in preventing the effects of dehydration on children's skin, using a skin model specifically capable of reproducing the characteristics of children's skin.
