 The measurement depth is very small (10-20 μm of the Stratum corneum) to
exclude the influence of deeper skin layers (e.g. from the blood vessels).
Measurements on an only 15μm thick foil show only 20 % of the original
measurement value.
 The probe is small and lightweight for easy handling and measurement on all
body sites (e.g. lips etc.).
 The spring in the probe head ensures constant pressure on the skin enabling
exact, reproducible measurements.
 The accuracy of the Corneometer
®
probe and the penetration depth of the
scatter field can be checked quickly anytime.
 The probe head can easily be cleaned after each measurement.
 Worldwide established as „corneometry" with a broad range of studies. The
Corneometer
®
has even been used on a space mission on the ISS.
 The Corneometer
®
CM 825 and its predecessor Corneometer
®
CM 820 are the
only skin moisture measurement instruments of which the accuracy have ever
been evaluated in a broad multi-centric study*.

2.3 Fields of Application
The hydration measurement is the basic measurement for all bio-medical and
cosmetic applications.
 Ideal instrument for formulation, claim support and efficacy testing of all
cosmetics & skin care products (personal care, irritation research, soaps
and cleansers, occlusive product development ), raw materials,
pharmaceuticals, household products, detergents, food supplements and
many more.
 In dermatological basis research.
 In occupational health to underline the importance of skin protection
measures.
