The purpose of this study is to determine the tolerability of Cetaphil® DermaControl™ Foam Wash and Moisturizer SPF 30 in pediatric subjects (7-11) with acne prone skin.
This was a open-label, single center study conducted in the United States that evaluated the tolerability of Cetaphil® DermaControl™ skin care products used at least once daily for 22 days in male and female subjects age 7 to 11 with acne prone skin. There were 4 visits during the course of the study: screening (within 7 days of visit 1), visit 1(baseline /day1), visit 2 (day 8), and visit 3 (day 22/exit). Tolerability assessments were performed by a board certified dermatologist at all visits. Subjects completed the baseline skin care regimen questionnaire at visit 1. Hydration assessments were competed at visits 1, 2, and 3. A subject satisfaction questionnaire was completed at visit 3. Adverse event assessments were conducted for all subjects at every clinic visit after informed consent/assent was signed.

Cutaneous Tolerability Based on Visual Inspection - Erythema
Cutaneous tolerability based on visual inspection (investigator reported severity scale) was assessed at visit 1 (day 1), visit 2 (day 8), and visit 3 (day 22). Erythema: 0 = none, no observable redness; 1 = very mild, slight redness, spotty or diffuse; 2 = mild, moderate redness; 3 = moderate, intense; 4 = severe, fiery red with edema.
Time frame: Week 3
Cutaneous Tolerability Based on Visual Inspection - Edema
Cutaneous tolerability based on visual inspection (investigator reported severity scale) was assessed at visit 1 (day 1), visit 2 (day 8), and visit 3 (day 22). Edema: 0 = none; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = intense.
Time frame: Week 3
Cutaneous Tolerability Based on Visual Inspection - Dryness
Cutaneous tolerability based on visual inspection (investigator reported severity scale) was assessed at visit 1 (day 1), visit 2 (day 8), and visit 3 (day 22). Dryness: 0 = no observable scaling; 1 = fine flakes/scaling; 2 = moderate flakes/scaling; 3 = larger flakes/severe scaling.
Time frame: Week 3
Cutaneous Tolerability Based on Visual Inspection - Roughness
Cutaneous tolerability based on visual inspection (investigator reported severity scale) was assessed at visit 1 (day 1), visit 2 (day 8), and visit 3 (day 22). Roughness: 1 - no roughness, skin is fine, silky smooth, 2 - firm (not too rough, not too smooth), 3 - coarse, rough skin, 4 - leathery, flaky skin.
Time frame: Week 3
Cutaneous Tolerability Based on Subject and Parent/Legally Authorized Representative Interview - Itching
Cutaneous tolerability based on visual inspection (investigator reported severity scale) was assessed at visit 1 (day 1), visit 2 (day 8), and visit 3 (day 22). Itching: 0 = none, no itching; 1 = mild, slight itching, not really bothersome; 2 = moderate, definite itching that is somewhat bothersome; 3 = severe, intense itching that may interrupt daily activities and/or sleep

Cutaneous Tolerability Based on Subject and Parent/Legally Authorized Representative Interview - Burning
Cutaneous tolerability based on visual inspection (investigator reported severity scale) was assessed at visit 1 (day 1), visit 2 (day 8), and visit 3 (day 22). Burning: 0 = none, no burning; 1 = mild, slight burning sensation, not really bothersome; 2 = moderate, definite warm, burning sensation that is somewhat bothersome; 3 = severe, hot burning sensation that causes definite discomfort and may interrupt daily activities and/or sleep
Time frame: Week 3
Cutaneous Tolerability Based on Subject and Parent/Legally Authorized Representative Interview - Stinging
Cutaneous tolerability based on visual inspection (investigator reported severity scale) was assessed at visit 1 (day 1), visit 2 (day 8), and visit 3 (day 22). Stinging: 0 = none, no stinging; 1 = mild, slight stinging sensation, not really bothersome; 2 = moderate, definite stinging sensation that is somewhat bothersome; 3 = severe, stinging sensation that causes definite discomfort and may interrupt daily activities and/or sleep
Time frame: Week 3
Cutaneous Tolerability Based on Subject and Parent/Legally Authorized Representative Interview - Tightness
Cutaneous tolerability based on visual inspection (investigator reported severity scale) was assessed at visit 1 (day 1), visit 2 (day 8), and visit 3 (day 22). Tightness: 0 = none, no tightness; 1 = mild, slight tightness, not really bothersome; 2 = moderate, definite tightness sensation that is somewhat bothersome; 3 = severe, tightness sensation that causes definite discomfort and may interrupt daily activities and/or sleep
Time frame: Week 3
Barrier Function (TEWL)
Barrier function was assessed by measuring transepidermal water loss (TEWL) at visit 1 (day 1), visit 2 (day 8), and visit 3 (day 22). TEWL measures water loss through the epidermis (for example, by evaporation). Measuring TEWL is a well-established way to assess the skin's water-barrier function. High TEWL values indicate impaired skin barrier function; low values indicate normal barrier function.
Time frame: Week 3
Hydration (Corneometry)
Hydration was assessed using corneometry at visit 1 (day 1), visit 2 (day 8), and visit 3 (day 22). Corneometry measures the hydration status of the skin. An increase in corneometry values indicates an increase in the hydration status of the skin, and vice versa. The test is procedure specific, so results are reported in "arbitrary units."
Time frame: Week 3
Subject Satisfaction Questionnaire - Face Wash
All subjects used Cetaphil® DermaControl™ Oil Control Foam Wash and Cetaphil® DermaControl™ Oil Control Moisturizer SPF 30 at least once daily for 22 days. Patient satisfaction questions were asked for the face wash at study end (day 22).
Time frame: Day 22
Subject Satisfaction Questionnaire - Moisturizer
All subjects used Cetaphil® DermaControl™ Oil Control Foam Wash and Cetaphil® DermaControl™ Oil Control Moisturizer SPF 30 at least once daily for 22 days. Patient satisfaction questions were asked for the moisturizer at study end (day 22).
