Liquid lamellar cleansing compositions are described that contain synthetic surfactants, hydrophilic emollients and exfoliant particles where 80% or more of the particles have a major axis length of between 100 and 1000 microns. The combination of the mild surfactants, moisturizers, and exfoliants provide the user with simultaneous moisturization and exfoliation in a convenient liquid cleansing product.

The present invention relates to methods to image the skin surface in order to view intercellular and intracellular structure. In particular, the invention relates to use of a compound (e.g., fluorescent dye) to enhance contrast and obtain better imaging.

The invention provides a non-contact (non-invasive) method for measuring quantity of sebum oil on skin or other substrate. The method includes applying fluorescent lipophilic dye to the substrate site of interest, illuminating the site at the excitation wavelength of the dye, and collecting fluorescent emission of desired wavelength of the dye. Because the measurements are truly non-contact, they can be made in real time on the same sites for any desired length of time.
