Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

change from baseline effective rate of treatment at 14 days after treatment
According to Nimodipine calculation: Treatment Index = (Self-assessment parameters after treatment - Self-assessment parameters before treatment)/Self-assessment parameters before treatment*100% Definition: Cure: No symptoms, Treatment index > 95% Significant Recovery: symptoms are significantly relieved, 70% <Treatment index≤95% Improved: Symptoms improved, 30%≤Treatment index≤70% No effect: No change in symptoms, Treatment index <30% Effective rate of treatment = (Cure + Significant recovery)/total*100%

Secondary Outcome Measures

clinical tolerability score
The clinical tolerability score mainly evaluates the objective parameters and subjective parameters. Objective parameters include rash, edema, redness, dryness/desquamation, desquamation, and other superficial signs, and each individual item is scored on a scale of 0 to 3 (level 0 is none, level 1 is slight, level 2 is obvious, level 3 is serious ); Subjective parameters include burning, tingling, itching, tightness, tingling, and other Follow upnctional manifestations, and each individual item is scored on a scale of 0 to 3 (level 0 is none, level 1 is slight, level 2 is obvious, level 3 level is serious); The clinical tolerability score is the average of objective parameters and subjective parameters, which is calculated by the sum of 6 objective parameters and 6 subjective parameters divided by 12.
product experience score
the evaluation includes: improvement in overall skin appearance, product's texture, convenience of product, applicating texture, product's envelopment, product's absorption, product's rub feeling on skin, product's gentleness on skin, product's comfort on skin, product's greasy feeling, product's suitable for skin, product's overall delight, those 12 aspects will be express on 1-5 score scale(1: Completely Disagree; 2:Somewhat disagree;3:neither agree nor disagree;4:somewhat agree;5:completely Agree). The product experience score is the average of those 12 aspects, calculate by the sum of 12 aspects rating divided by 12.
