Vitreoscilla filiformis extract (Vfe) increased skin barrier recovery rates after tape stripping (mean ± SD). To evaluate skin barrier recovery rates in female volunteers aged 25 to 55 years, test areas on the inner forearm were subject to barrier damage by tape stripping using D-Squames^® on day 1. Vfe was then applied twice daily to the test area for 4 days or left untreated (control). Skin barrier recovery was assessed by measuring on days 1 to 5. As expected, tape stripping impaired the skin barrier, as shown by increased TEWL. Natural barrier recovery was observed for the untreated control area between days 2 and 5 compared with day 1. TEWL, transepidermal water loss. *p < 0.05 compared with control zone.
