What is a RIPT Back Study?

The Repeated Insult Patch Test (RIPT) Back Study is a two-part test.

Part 1 involves the application of patches (bandages), with products on them, to your back three times a week for 3 weeks, which is followed by a rest period (where no patches are applied). Your skin is examined for responses to the patches after each removal.

Part 2 involves applying the same patches to a different area of skin and looking at the skin responses over 3 or 4 days.

You’ll be given instructions about patch removal and when to report to the Test Facility, when you enroll. We are currently recruiting males and females ages 18 to 70 for our RIPT studies. New patch studies start on Mondays and Wednesdays!
