The present invention relates to an electrochemical device for measuring the redox state of the skin, comprising: - at least one working electrode, preferably a microelectrode, - a counter electrode, - a reference electrode, said electrodes being all fixed in a single support intended to allow the simultaneous contact of each of said electrodes with the surface of the skin to be tested, the electrodes being connected on the one hand to a means for imposing a voltage defined between the electrode of the reference electrode, such as a potentiostat, and on the other hand to a device for measuring the intensity of the current generated at the working electrode by the detection of redox species. It also relates to a method for measuring the redox state of the skin. |
