Levels of both TEWL and SC hydration measured with the Barrie GPSkin Barrier® were lower than that with MPA5 system on all 3 body sites except for hydration on the cheek. The levels of both TEWL and SC hydration measured with GpSkin Barrier® were correlated well with that measured with MPA5 system on all 3 body sites CONCLUSIONS: GPSkin Barrier® is a reliable, affordable, and versatile device for assessing epidermal permeability barrier function and SC hydration.
