Optical clearing agent reduces scattering of light by the stratum corneum and modulates the physical properties of coenocytes via hydration

ConclusionBy analyzing the tape‐striped SC, we were able to measure the changes in the optical and physical properties of corneocytes in response to OCAs. Hydration of the SC layer by OCAs reduces light scattering from the corneocytes and would be helpful in moisturizing the skin and helping the skin look healthy.
