ARE THERE ANY HEALTH RISKS WHEN I PARTICIPATE IN A STUDY?

Studies carried out at KRISHKARE COSMED are the last step before the launch of products on the market. The safety of all product ingredients is an obligation that has been already verified by the product manufacturer.

It is possible that you may react and/or experience discomfort due to a tested product since some studies intend to evaluate product tolerance. In this case, our dermatologist will be in charge of assisting you and he will determine if the product is responsible for the observed reactions. The safety and well-being of participants is a priority for KRISHKARE COSMED.

I HAVE A DERMATOLOGICAL CONDITION (DANDRUFFS, HAIR LOSS, PSORIASIS, ECZEMA, ACNE…). CAN I BECOME A PARTICIPANT?

Yes, of course. During your registration process, indicate the type of condition that you have and any medications that you may be taking (with or without doctor prescription). This will help us to recruit you for studies based on your personal profile.
