Clinical Trial Summary

This double-blind, randomized, controlled, single-center clinical trial was conducted to assess the efficacy and tolerance of an anti-aging serum to improve moderate overall photodamage and skin fatigue of aging skin after 7 days of twice-daily use when compared to the efficacy of a combination of anti-aging serum and an anti-aging facial moisturizer. A total of 26 female subjects, aged 34-60, completed study participation.

Description:

This double-blind, randomized, controlled, single-center clinical trial was conducted to assess the efficacy and tolerance of an anti-aging serum (Cell 1) to improve moderate overall photodamage and skin fatigue of aging skin after 7 days of twice-daily use when compared to the efficacy of a combination of anti-aging serum and an anti-aging facial moisturizer (Cell 2). Skin fatigue was characterized by dehydrated skin with a lack of firmness (visual) and a dull appearance on the global face. Efficacy and tolerability were assessed through clinical grading at baseline, day 3, and day 7. Efficacy evaluation on fine lines and wrinkles in the crow's feet area; overall eye appearance on the periocular area; and smoothness (tactile), firmness (visual), radiance, and overall photodamage on the global face were performed 15 minutes post product application. Self-assessment questionnaires, Glossymeter measurements, and VISIA photography were completed at baseline, day 3, and day 7. A total of 26 subjects completed study participation, which included 12 subjects in Cell 1, and 14 subjects in Cell 2.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Clinical Grading of Efficacy Parameters	The primary efficacy endpoint will be the Investigator Clinical Grading using Modified Griffith's 10-point Scale. A decrease in scores at Day 3, and Day 7 in comparison to baseline indicates an improvement for the indicated parameter. The efficacy parameters will be assessed globally on each subject's face using a modified Griffiths' 10-point scale according to the following numerical definitions (half-point scores may be used as necessary to more accurately describe the skin condition): 0 = none (best possible condition); 1 to 3 = mild; 4 to 6 = moderate;7 to 9 = severe (worst possible condition). The lower the score equates to the best possible outcome.	7 days
Primary	Tolerability Evaluations	The primary tolerability endpoint will be the Investigator Tolerability Assessment of Erythema, Edema and Dryness. A decrease in scores or lack of significant increase at Day 3, and Day 7 in comparison to Baseline indicates tolerability/safety of the test material. Four point scale with a lower score indicating a better outcome.; Example for Erythema: Erythema 0 = None No erythema of the treatment area; = Mild Slight, but definite redness of the treatment area; = Moderate Definite redness of the treatment area; = Severe Marked redness of the treatment area	7 days
Secondary	Irritation Evaluation	The secondary tolerability endpoint will be the Subject Tolerability Assessment of Burning, Itching and Stinging. A decrease in scores or lack of significant increase at Day 3, and Day 7 in comparison to Baseline indicates tolerability/safety of the test material. Four point scale with a lower score indicating a better outcome.; Example Burning. 0 = None No burning of the treatment area; = Mild Slight burning sensation of the treatment area; not really bothersome; = Moderate Definite warm, burning of the treatment area that is somewhat bothersome.; = Severe Hot burning sensation of the treatment area that causes definite discomfort and may interrupt daily activities and/or sleep	7 days
Secondary	Self-assessment Questionnaire	The secondary efficacy endpoints will be the Self-Assessment Questionnaire and the Subject Treatment Satisfaction and Ease of Use Questionnaire. A decrease or increase in response values at Day 3, and Day 7 indicates an improvement compared to baseline response values. Subjects are asked to rate based on a scoring system of the following: from 5 (completely agree) to 1 (completely disagree). The best outcome is to Completely Agree with the statement/ question being asked.	7 days
Secondary	Bioinstrumentation Measurements	The secondary efficacy endpoints will be the Glossymeter measurements. Measurements of the gloss of the skin, taken at Day 3 and Day 7 in comparison to baseline, will measure the white light, created by LEDs, directly reflected from the skin.	7 days
Secondary	VISIA-CR Photography	VISIA-CR photography taken at Baseline, Day 3 and Day 7 with image analysis at the end of the study.	7 days
