Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this experiment is to analyze wrinkle severity, the skin barrier and facial pigmentation level after topical almond oil application, compared to the use of topical retinol. Both the almond oil and the 0.5% topical retinol studied is investigational.


Clinical Trial Description

The natural cosmetic market is a multi-billion-dollar industry. Nutraceuticals and foodbased cosmetics are a growing trend within dermatology. Almonds are a rich dietary source of a range of fatty acids, phytochemical polyphenols, and antioxidants [1]. The previous study done by Dr. Raja Sivamani was a double blinded study that compared oral almond intake to a calorie matched non-nut-based intake over 12 weeks.The study determined that that there was a statistically significant improvement in wrinkle severity and pigment intensity in the women that received almond supplementation. This proposal aims to now understand how the topical application of almond oil may influence the appearance of wrinkles and facial tone in post-menopausal women. Almond oil is rich in fatty acids and alpha-tocopherol [2]. Tocopherol inhibits melanogenesis in melanocytes [3] and topical alpha tocopherol has been shown to improve skin antioxidants and hyperpigmentation [4, 5]. ;
