Abstract
Noninvasive techniques provide useful and objective information on skin barrier efficiency, skin color, and skin structure in general; therefore, these techniques can be of support in investigating contact dermatitis and irritation in particular. However, their use can be sometimes cumbersome and complex especially in terms of standardization of measures and interpretation of results.
