The second trial was conducted in an NHS trust hospital, where 28 subjects working in theatre, wards, catering, cleaning and porterage tested DermaShield over an 8 week period. They reported the following results:

• 82% showed an improvement in skin condition, of whom 64% classed the improvement as significant.
