To determine the local cutaneous and ocular tolerance of a developmental cosmetic facial serum in healthy females with sensitive facial skin under normal conditions of use.
This is a single-center, non-comparative clinical 'in-use' study to determine the local cutaneous and ocular tolerance of a developmental cosmetic facial serum formulation in healthy female subjects aged 18 to 65 years (inclusive) with clinically evaluated sensitive skin, as determined by a positive response to a Lactic Acid Sting Test (LAST), with minimal signs or symptoms of cutaneous irritation and no signs or symptoms of ocular irritation. A reference product, proven to be suitable for use in a sensitive skin population will also be used.

Number of Participants With a Unit Change of Greater Than (>) 1 in Signs and Symptoms of Cutaneous Irritation Total Scores From Baseline to 21 Days of Product Use
A qualified dermatologist visually assessed the signs and symptoms of cutaneous irritation for dermal erythema, dryness, scaling, and edema on a scale with a score range of 0 to 3, where 0=none, 0.5=very slight, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=severe. Cutaneous irritation total score = dermal score of erythema + dermal score of dryness + dermal score of scaling + dermal score of edema. Total possible score range is 0 to 12 (higher value indicated more cutaneous irritation). Change from baseline for 21 days of product use = total score at Day 21 minus total score at baseline. Participants with a unit change of greater than (\>) 1 in total score (TS) of cutaneous irritation from baseline to 21 days of product use, are reported in this outcome measure.
Time frame: Baseline and Day 21
Number of Participants With a Unit Change of >1 in Signs and Symptoms of Ocular Irritation Total Scores From Baseline to 21 Days of Product Use
A qualified ophthalmologist visually assessed the signs and symptoms of ocular irritation for ocular eczema of the eyelid, conjunctivitis, follicles and chemosis conjunctivae on a scale with a score range of 0 to 3, where 0=none, 0.5=very slight, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=severe. Ocular irritation total score = ocular score of eczema of the eyelid + ocular score of conjunctivitis + ocular score of follicles + ocular score of chemosis conjunctivae. Total possible score range is 0 to 12 (higher value indicated more ocular irritation). Change from baseline for 21 days of product use = total score at Day 21 minus total score at baseline. Participants with a unit change of \> 1 in total score of ocular irritation from baseline to 21 days of product use, are reported in this outcome measure.
Time frame: Baseline and Day 21
Number of Participants With a Unit Change of >1 in Signs and Symptoms of Cutaneous Irritation (Self-assessment) From Baseline to 1 to 2 Hours Post First Product Use and 21 Days of Product Use
Participants were instructed to self-assess any sensations of cutaneous discomfort for redness, dryness, stinging/burning, itching and tightness on a scale with a score range of 0 to 3, where 0=none, 0.5=very slight, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=severe. Participant self-assessment of cutaneous irritation total score = redness + dryness + itching + stinging/burning + tightness. Total possible score range is 0 to 15 (higher value indicated more cutaneous irritation). Change from baseline at 1-2 hours post first use = total score at 1 to 2 hours minus total score at baseline. Similarly, change from baseline for 21 days of product use = total score at Day 21 minus total score at baseline. Participants with a unit change of \>1 in total score of cutaneous irritation from baseline to 1-2 hours post first product use and 21 days of product use, are reported in this outcome measure.
