Of course, you can never really
assess longterm benefits, but during the six months I applied it every night, i just didn't notice any
change (for better or worse)
in my
skin.
Suction blister wounds are an excellent model for studying the effects of early wound healing.50 Measurement of the rate of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) through human
skin provides a noninvasive method to monitor
changes in the stratum corneum barrier function of the
skin, providing an excellent objective method for evaluation of wound healing.51 The 8 blister sites were
assessed daily for 8 days following removal of the blister chambers50 and then again on day 12, along with daily control values from adjacent nonwounded
skin; after subtracting the average control values from the average daily measurement, the 90 % standard for healing was based on reaching 90 % of the day 1 measures.
