There a lot of types of skin care lotions in the market. These items are designed to cater to various skin care needs. They may come in the form of creams and balms. No matter what form they come in, the important thing is that they do their job and that is to cater to the needs of their users. Two of the most popular items are moisturizing or rehydrating creams and anti-aging solutions.

Dry Skin Lotion

Skin dryness is one of the most common problems faced by people - men and women alike. Dryness or xerosis is caused by various environmental factors that include everything from weather to allergens. Moisturizing lotions work best for flaky or chapped dermis. These products help seal in the moisture as well as hydrate the top layers of the epidermis in order to avoid cracking and peeling.

Video Clarity defined the ClearView product line with these objectives in mind.
* Capture video sequences in as many formats as possible.
* Convert all video sequences to user-selectable resolution.
* Translate all video sequences to uncompressed Y'CbCr 4:2:2 or RGB 4:4:4.
* Support 8 and 10-bit data paths with upgradeability to future 12-bit modes.
* Store the video sequences as frames (fields) so that they can be played at any rate.
* Display the video sequences in real time in multiple viewing modes.
* Apply objective metrics to the video sequences.
* Export pieces of video sequences to further analyze off-line.
* Use a standard operating system so that the operator can run 3rd party analysis applications.

By working in the uncompressed domain, any two video processing algorithms can be compared independent of compression or other processing.

To further simplify the work flow, any video sequence can be played; while capturing another video sequence, thus, combining the video server and capture device into one unit. By doing this, the original source is already inside the test equipment so captured content alignment is easily obtained.

The original and processed video sequences can be displayed - side-by-side, mirrored, or seamless split - on a single display. This eliminates the need to calibrate two separate displays.

ClearView applies various objective metrics to the video sequences, generates graphs, and calculates an objective score. ClearView includes PSNR, Spatial Information and Temporal Information (as proposed in ITU-T P.9210). These metrics are the basis for more sophisticate metrics like VQM, JND, which are being analyzed by organizations like VQEG, VPQM, and SMPTE.

ClearView displays multiple video sequences, even if they are played at different rates (i.e. mobile phone video compared to TV) for the expert viewers; while recording the objective metric scores. While the MOS cannot be repeated, the objective metric can, easily and readily.

Since the system is based on an open, Windows-based architecture, any objective measurement algorithm can be modeled off-line using the stored video sequences.

Basically what these topical prescriptions do is to retard the growth of new hair cells. So the myth that some creams can be used to remove hair completely and permanently as we see on certain TV commercials are actually not true at all.

Other Alternative Treatments

Some other form of prescription given by hair and skin specialists would be to ask their customers to go for either laser treatments or electrolysis hair removal treatments. These prescriptions are usually given only for severe hair treatment cases and for non-sensitive areas like back and legs. The former is not so painful, but the latter is pretty much of an unpleasant hair removal prescription, because it involves inserting a needle into the follicle, and can lead to swelling, redness, pinpoint scabbing and scarring.
