Abstract
A method of treating vaginal dryness by administering a vaginal care composition, which includes an effective amount of a vaginal care agent, to vaginal tissue of a user experiencing vaginal dryness. The vaginal care agent may be selected to specifically treat symptoms of vaginal dryness exhibited by the introitus and/or labia, based on the transcriptomic data of skin cells obtained therefrom. In some instances, the vaginal care composition may be applied to introitus and/or labia with a suitable implement configured for such use.
