Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pre-Shave Gel and Brush in Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (NCT NCT03043534)

NCT ID: NCT03043534

Last Updated: 2018-12-19

Results Overview

A total of the Patient's Global Assessment of mechanics of shaving based on following scale: How easy is it to… (please rank each phrase from 1 to 4; 1 = very easy, 2 = easy, 3 = difficult, 4 = very difficult) A) get a smooth shave after shaving? \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ B) shave stubborn hairs? \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ C) shave against the grain with little irritation? \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ D) shave with the grain with little irritation? \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ E) glide comfortably over your skin with the razor blade? For each subject, the total score could range from 5 -20, with lower numbers indicating better shave mechanics

Measure
Gel and Brush
The Experimental group of subjects will be given the study product Pre-Shave Gel and Brush. The gel and brush will be used prior to their normal shave routine. Subjects will shave at least 3 times weekly. shave gel: Non marketed pre-shave gel with the following INCI list of ingredients: WATER, GLYCERIN, DIMETHICONE, LAURETH-23, PETROLATUM, ACRYLAMIDE/SODIUM ACRYLOYLDIMETHYLTAURATE COPOLYMER, ISOPROPYL PALMITATE, HYDROXYETHYLCELLULOSE, FRAGRANCE, PEG-23M, C13-14 ISOPARAFFIN, DMDM HYDANTOIN, DISODIUM EDTA, LAURETH-7, IODOPROPYNYL BUTYLCARBAMATE Brush: All subjects randomized to brush will use the brush with each shave
Control
Subjects will use their normal razors and shave products during the six week study. Subjects must shave at least 3 times weekly. No change in normal shaving is done in this group
