Courage + Khazaka electronic has been the world market leader in producing skin testing equipment for more than two decades. The devices measure the whole range of parameters (sebum, moisture, pH, TEWL, elasticity, roughness, colour, gloss, temperature and others) and the scientific instruments have become standard in the R&D departments of the cosmetic and raw material companies and the independent testing laboratories doing efficacy testing and claim support.

At in-cosmetics C+K presents the latest generation of instruments:

The Tewameter triple TM 330T is a very suitable device to reduce the time for the determination of the transepidermal waterloss as it supplies three measurements at the same time. It is also ideal for simultaneous TEWL measurement on three skin sites.

The Cutometer dual MPA 580 is a worldwide acknowledged standard device to measure elasticity and other biomechanical parameters of the skin. The Multiprobe Adaptor function allows to connect further probes additionally to the two Cutometer probes.

The CutiScan measures the skin displacement during circular suction/relaxation by video (optical flow). It offers a new dimension of looking at the mechanical properties of the skin (viscoelasticity & anisotropy).

The Visioscan VC 98 USB is a special UVA-light video camera with high resolution to study the skin surface directly. The images show the structure of the skin and the level of dryness very impressively.
