dermatologically
In skin terms
Dermatologically means with respect to dermatology—the branch of medicine dealing with skin.
The word appears most often in advertising claims: dermatologically tested, dermatologically approved.
These phrases suggest scientific validation but may mean little more than that a dermatologist was involved somehow.
