Synopsis A controlled exposure method was developed to predict dry skin improvement from a new in‐shower body lotion product form. An in‐shower body lotion is used in the shower after cleansing, and methods for cleansers and leave‐on lotions are not applicable. Protocol parameters were chosen on the basis of consumer habits and practices studies and randomized clinical testing. The resulting protocol is consumer‐relevant, and reliably and reproducibly predicts dry skin improvement from the in‐shower body lotion product form.
