Abstract		Within this study, the efficiency of a topical dermocosmetic hydrating skin care treatment for adult acne prone skin (Normaderm, Laboratoires Vichy) against clinical signs of physiological acne was evaluated with objective and clinical evaluation methods by the investigators, and through a self-evaluation questionnaire by the subjects themselves. The study group was composed of 50 adult women aged between 18 and 35 with mixed or oily acne prone skin, who were chosen according to previously defined inclusion criteria. The number of inflammatory and retentional lesions on the forehead, cheeks and chin decreased after 60 days of use (in average 30,7% and 70,7%, respectfully). The level of sebum secretion on the forehead decreased by 33,4% and the level of skin scaling decreased by 38,5% after 60 days of use. The moisture content in the horny layer on the forehead, cheeks and chin increased in average by 39,7%. The decrease in pore size and content after 60 days of use was very noticeable. The subjects evaluated all the studied characteristics of the tested product very positively, with results showing already after 30 days of use. The results of the study confirm that the tested product is suitable for the cosmetic care of adult acne prone skin.
