Study summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate, with clinical and biological assessment methods, the effectiveness of the tested cosmetic product applied during 4 weeks of intensive treatment and compared to a Standard Medical Care (medicine shampoo) and to a comparative cosmetic shampoo, on mild to moderate recurrent squamous states of seborrheic dermatitis.

Read the detailed description

This study is conducted as a monocentric, randomized, controlled and blinded-label study, in parallel groups.

A total number of 90 subjects included and randomized in 3 parallel groups:

  • Test group RV5263A - WS0060 cosmetic product
  • Comparative group: RV5263A - LC3302 cosmetic product
  • Standard medical care group

    6 visits are planned:

  • Visit 1: Inclusion (Day 1)
  • Visit 2: Intermediate visit (Day 4)
  • Visit 3: Intermediate visit (Day 7)
  • Visit 4: Intermediate visit (Day 15 ± 1 day)
  • Visit 5: Intermediate visit (Day 22 ± 3 days)
  • Visit 6: End-of-study visit (Day 29 ± 3 days)

    • alopecia having caused hair loss on the upper part of the scalp (Norwood Hamilton stage> III, Ludwig ≥ I-4, alopecia aerata, alopecia totalis)
    • raised skin lesion, likely to be traumatized, …
  • Subject having dermatological pathology or evolutive skin lesion on the scalp (contact dermatitis, psoriasis, severe excoriations, severe sunburn, cutaneous bacterial superinfection of the scalp clinically obvious ...)
  • Topical treatment or product applied on the scalp within 2 weeks before the inclusion or planned during the study that can be active on squamous states or that can limit the effectiveness of the study product: anti-inflammatory drugs, ketoconazole, anti-dandruff shampoo, anti-fungal, rinse with vinegar, essential oils ...
  • Any scalp dyeing (including henna), bleaching, perm, smoothing / straightening performed within 3 weeks before inclusion or planned during the study
