Filter by:This single-center, split-body, double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial was conducted to assess the efficacy and tolerance of a topical firming body moisturizer when used over the course of 12 weeks by women with mild to moderate sagging, crepey skin, and overall photodamage on the upper arms. A total of 40 subjects completed study participation which included 10 subjects in the biopsy subgroup.
The aim of this study is to assess irritant or allergic response of 3 developmental cosmetic facial products following a conventional human repeated insult patch test methodology for 6 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the absence of sensitisation and irritation potential of a product when applied to the skin and exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Photo-sensitisation potential will primarily be evaluated through a subsequent semi-occluded application and UV exposure (challenge phase) after a 2-week rest period. Photo-irritation potential will primarily be evaluated through the repeated occluded application and UV exposure of the study products over 3 weeks (induction phase).
In the realm of cosmetics, skin care accounts for a significant share accounting for 35.3% of the global market, creating a $121 billion industry. While many of the products claim to have unique, natural formulations that boost skin care, many products contain chemicals that are potentially damaging to skin. Such ingredients include preservatives, parabens, fragrances, and formaldehyde, which can cause skin irritation and inflammation. Although these ingredients help to preserve the stability and longevity of products, it is plausible to achieve efficacy and improve skin structure without risking unnecessary damage. The condition and health of the dermis rely largely on elastin, which gives the skin its elasticity, and collagen, which provides structure and strength. Collagen deteriorates naturally with age and exposure to environmental elements such as sunlight and toxins. Many skin rejuvenating interventions have focused on preventing the loss of collagen and elastin. The formulations used in this study will try to optimize cellular physiology, which in turn will create improvement in skin function, collagen strength, and wrinkle depth reduction. The skin care regimen we will be testing includes ingredients such Hyaluronic acid 1%, Vitamin E Acetate, Vitamin A Acetate, Co-enzyme Q 10, L-Arginine, L-glutamine, Phytonadione, Argireline Peptide solution, GABA, Vitamin C, glycolic acid, and Fenugreek. The chemicals used commercially have been avoided in this formulation to enhance the beneficial effects of the product. The purpose of the study is to investigate the efficacy of a new skin care product utilizing the tools of complexion analysis software and optical coherence tomography(OCT). The primary endpoint will be a 15% reduction in facial wrinkles measured by complexion analysis software. Secondary endpoints will be a 10% reduction in skin roughness measured by OCT
Aged long-term care receivers are affected by various adverse skin conditions like pressure ulcers, incontinence-associated dermatitis, dryness, intertrigo and many more. Prevention of these skin problems and the provision of general hygiene and skin care activities are key areas of nursing practice. Numerous condition specific guidelines are available and are implemented separately. The more guidelines exist, the more difficult it is for nurses to implement them all. On the other hand, there is a huge overlap in terms of aetiology, pathogenesis and prevention of aforementioned skin conditions. The overall aim of this trial is to test the feasibility and to estimate possible effects of a comprehensive skin care package targeting main nursing relevant skin problems at the same time. Therefore a study will be performed in nursing homes of the state of Berlin comparing the skin care package to standard care. Residents' safety and subjective wellbeing will increase combined with improvements in professional competence of nurses. An advisory board consisting of international experts agreed already to supervise the trial.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of twice-daily topical application of two different moisturizing creams on skin barrier function for 4 weeks.
This single-center clinical study is being conducted over the course of 2 weeks to conduct an exploratory pilot study as a preliminary evaluation of D-OCT's ability to measure skin changes from aging. Assess structural differences between young and aged skin on the face. To identify the structural characteristics of atrophic acne scars relative to normal skin on the face. To explore characteristics of cellulite relative to normal skin on the thigh in young and aged skin.
To determine the local cutaneous and ocular tolerance of a developmental cosmetic facial serum in healthy females with sensitive facial skin under normal conditions of use.
Carotenoids and polyphenols are assumed to have an active role in skin health. Sources for these phytonutrient are fruits and vegetables. They are widely applied as skin protectants, and supplementation with carotenoids have shown to protect against erythema caused by UV-radiation. UV radiation generates reactive oxygen species in the skin, which induces cellular signaling that may impair cell cycle, cell growth, and regeneration or repair processes.
This study will assess the cosmetic changes of a cosmetic topical retinoid product in participants with moderate to severe photodamage utilizing non-invasive in vivo skin imaging instrumentation.
