Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Mildness of the Facial Cleanser in Participants with Sensitive Skin Based on Investigator and Participant Assessments	Mildness of the facial cleanser in participants with sensitive skin (eczema/atopic dermatitis, rosacea, acne, cosmetic intolerance syndrome) based on investigator and participant assessments will be reported. It will be evaluated on a scale of 0 to 4 with 0=none, 1=almost clear, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=severe.	Baseline to Week 4
Secondary	Investigator Assessment for Tolerability	Investigator observed tolerability parameters such as: redness/erythema, rash/irritation, peeling/flaking, tactile roughness, and dryness which will be measured using a 5-point ordinal scale (0=none, 1=minimal, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=severe).	Baseline, Week 2 and Week 4
Secondary	Investigator Assessment for Efficacy	Investigators observed efficacy parameters such as: visual smoothness, tactile softness, clarity, radiance, pores, and overall skin appearance which will be measured using a 5-point ordinal scale (0=none, 1=minimal, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=severe).	Baseline, Week 2 and Week 4
Secondary	Participant Assessment for Tolerability	Participants observed tolerability parameters such as: stinging, burning, itching, tightness, redness, flaking/peeling, roughness, dryness and overall sensitivity which will be measured using a 5-point ordinal scale (0=none, 1=minimal, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=severe).	Baseline, Week 2 and Week 4
Secondary	Participant Assessment for Efficacy	Participants observed efficacy parameters such as: smoothness, softness, clarity, radiance, pores and overall skin appearance which will be by using a 5-point ordinal scale (0=none, 1=minimal, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=severe).	Baseline, Week 2 and Week 4
Secondary	Photographic Imaging (Right, Left and Frontal Face with Standard Lighting 1 and Cross Polarized Light)	Photographic imaging (right, left and frontal face with standard lighting 1 and cross polarized light) will be obtained by using VISIA. Each participant's face will be imaged using the photographic imaging system prior to any product use. The imaging system takes a series of two high-resolution images that are captured sequentially in rapid succession to minimize panelist movement and maximize registration of images. Three sets of images will be taken - 45 degree left, 45 degree right, and center of the face.	Baseline, Week 2 and Week 4
Secondary	Non-invasive Assessment: Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL)	TEWL measurements of defined target sites of face will be reported. A decrease in TEWL values reflects an improvement in the barrier properties of the skin.	Baseline, Week 2 and Week 4
Secondary	Non-invasive Assessment: Skin pH	Skin pH measurements of defined target sites of the face will be reported.	Baseline, Week 2 and Week 4
Secondary	Non-invasive Assessment: Skin Hydration Measured by Corneometer	Skin hydration of defined target sites of face as measured by Corneometer will be reported. An increase in values reflects an improvement in the hydration of the skin.	Baseline, Week 2 and Week 4
Secondary	Non-invasive Assessment: Biomarker Tapes	Three D-squame tape strips will be taken from a defined target site on the face. D-Squame Standard Sampling Discs (CuDerm Corporation, Dallas, N) will be used to non-invasively collect skin samples from the forehead. The discs are 2.2 centimeters (cm) in diameter and have a homogenous layer of a medical-grade adhesive, which safely removes stratum corneum components and provides optimum visibility of adhering corneocytes. Samples will be collected for the analysis of various skin biomarkers such as skin flakiness, as well as the integrity of the natural moisturizing factors (NMFs), ceramides, free fatty acids, cholesterol via biochemical assays.	Baseline, Week 2 and Week 4
Secondary	Non-invasive Assessment: Facial Swabbing	A swabbing technique will be used to collect surface skin microflora to determine the effect of the non-marketed cosmetic facial cleanser on the skin microflora.	Baseline, Week 2 and Week 4
