Epsilon: Advanced Skin Hydration Analysis and Imaging – Visually Prove Product Efficacy
Epsilon: When Moisturizing Efficacy is No Longer Just Words
In the cosmetics and skincare industry, how do you convincingly prove that your product effectively hydrates the skin? Traditional single-point measurement methods provide only a single number, lacking the bigger picture. The Epsilon Advanced Skin Hydration Analysis and Imaging System is here to completely change the game, transforming efficacy claims into undeniable visual proof.


Epsilon utilizes groundbreaking capacitance imaging technology to create a detailed “hydration map” of a skin area, showing the distribution of moisture rather than just a value at one spot.
Why Epsilon is the Future of Product Evaluation?
1. Moving Beyond the Limits of Single-Point Probes
Traditional hydration measurement devices (like the Corneometer®) only measure at a single point. Epsilon is different. It scans and captures a hydration image of an entire area, providing far richer and more intuitive data. You can clearly see which parts of the skin are well-hydrated and which remain dry.
2. Visual Evidence for Claim Substantiation
An image is worth a thousand words. With Epsilon, you can generate compelling “before and after” images that clearly demonstrate the improvement in skin hydration after using a product. This is an invaluable marketing and R&D tool for proving efficacy and building consumer trust.
3. In-Depth Data Analysis
The accompanying Epsilon SW software allows for deep analysis of the image data:
Visual Color Maps: Display the distribution of hydration.
Histograms: Analyze the frequency of different hydration levels.
Statistical Parameters: Provide quantitative values like average hydration, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation to assess uniformity.
4. Non-Invasive, Fast, and Easy to Use
The measurement process is quick, completely non-invasive, and comfortable for test subjects, making it ideal for clinical studies on humans.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Epsilon
1. How is Epsilon different from regular skin hydration probes?
The biggest difference is that Epsilon measures hydration over an entire area and creates a visual map, whereas conventional probes only measure at a single point and provide a single number. Epsilon offers a much more comprehensive view.
2. Can Epsilon be used to substantiate claims on product packaging?
Absolutely. This is one of its most powerful applications. The visual and quantitative data it provides serves as objective, scientific evidence to support claims like “24-hour hydration” or “instantly improves skin moisture.”
3. Is the accompanying software easy to use?
Yes, the Epsilon SW software is designed with a user-friendly interface, allowing users to easily capture images, view hydration maps, and export detailed analysis reports with just a few clicks.
4. Is the measurement process uncomfortable for the subject?
Not at all. The process is very fast and non-invasive. The sensor only needs to make gentle contact with the skin’s surface.
Conclusion
Epsilon is more than just a measurement device; it’s a visual storytelling tool. It allows brands and researchers to shift from “telling” about efficacy to “showing” it. Equip your lab with Epsilon to revolutionize your skincare product research, development, and marketing.
