ABSTRACT:
A hydrophilic sebum collecting device including a strip of hydrophilic open celled microporous polymeric film.
Also provided is a method for the quantification of sebum in a patch of skin by applying a hydrophilic open celled microporous polymeric film to the patch of skin such that the film is retained in sebum collecting contact therewith. The film is retained in sebum collecting contact for a period of about 5 to 30 seconds and at a predetermined pressure. The film is eventually removed from the patch of skin and placed over a scaled background such that the amount of sebum collected by the film can be determined by comparison with the scaled background.
