RCTS provides testing services for the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and consumer products industry in two categories: safety and claims substantiation. Safety testing consists of a variety of patch studies and safety-in-use studies. Claims substantiation and efficacy studies are designed to evaluate marketing claims (such as reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, increase in skin moisturization, non-comedogenic, non-acnegenic, etc.). These studies can be simple in design and of short duration, or they can be complex, long-term studies requiring multiple visits to the testing facility, with both expert clinical grading and instrumental measurements and statistical analyses. For pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and consumer products, trust RCTS for superb execution and clear results.
