"For the past few years the use of electrolyzed oxidized water as an antimicrobial agent against several gram-negative and gram-positive pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and viruses has been well established in Japan. A similar product introduced in the form of the hand held Charme system will become a most useful tool serving as protection against any adverse reaction caused by other regular skin cleaning agents and maintaining optimum skin health."

Dr. Gabriel Fernandes PhD, Professor Dept. of Medicine, Division of Clinical Immunology, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.



"Low pH acidic water is considered to play an important role in maintaining healthy skin. For example, improving the 'barrier function' of the skin by means of astriction allows us to expect healthier skin conditions. More academic research in the field of dermatology will hopefully be conducted in the future."

Dr. Kokichi Hanaoka, visiting Professor Texas University School of Medicine. Health Science Center.



Akashi Hospital in Hyogo, Japan conducted a three month clinical trial on 22 patients with atopic dermatitis. 530 effected areas on the body were measured. Clinical results data is shown below.
