✦ Synopsis

The skin represents the largest organ of our organism
and is the barrier to the environment. UV sun radiation and
environmental hazards damage our skin. Therefore, it is the aim of
skin care products to protect the skin from damage and stimulate
the regeneration. The efficacy of skin care products for barrier
improvement is usually analyzed by transepidermal water loss
measurements (TEWL). This method is suitable for the investigation
of the untreated skin. Topically applied products can influence
the TEWL measurements. In vivo laser scanning microscopy is a new
approach for analyzing the barrier function of the skin. This
method is not disturbed by topically applied formulation. In the
present paper, laser scanning microscopy was used in comparison to
TEWL measurements for the characterization of the skin care
product Bedan-Gesichtscreme^®^

Recently, it was reported that a plasma-jet could be efficiently applied for the antisepsis of wounds. In this case, the discharge in an argon gas stream was used to produce a so-called "cold plasma" on the skin surface. The thermal action of the plasma on the skin was investigated in the present st
