Peptide-pro complex serum: Investigating effects on aged skin.

Area of Science:

• Dermatology
• Cosmetic Science
• Skin Biology

Background:

• Aging skin presents a significant unmet consumer need for effective treatments.
• Topical anti-aging solutions are in high demand within the cosmetic industry.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the efficacy of a novel topical facial serum on aged skin.
• The serum contains a proprietary blend of neuropeptides, proteins, amino acids, and marine extracts.
• Assessments included ex vivo and clinical studies.

Main Methods:

• Ex vivo comparison of the serum against a market competitor and an untreated control using microrelief, smoothness, and epidermal thickness.
• A 12-week clinical study where subjects used the serum on their entire face, serving as their own control.
• Skin hydration, imaging, dermatological evaluation for tolerability and efficacy, and a subject questionnaire were employed.

Main Results:

• Significant reduction in microfolds and skin roughness, with increased epidermal thickness compared to controls.
• Statistically significant improvement in skin moisturization from baseline.
• Clinically significant improvements in skin smoothness, wrinkle severity, fine line visibility, and noticeable lifting/tightening effects.

Conclusions:

• The facial serum demonstrated significant improvements in aged skin quality.
• The proprietary blend of ingredients effectively rejuvenates aging skin.
• Ex vivo and clinical data support the serum's anti-aging benefits.
