Article Synopsis
- Sensitive skin is a common issue, and a study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of certain cosmetic products in alleviating its symptoms.
- The study involved 24 women and tested three different product combinations against a vehicle, using capsaicin to provoke skin irritation for assessment.
- Results indicated that all three products significantly reduced stinging and burning sensations compared to the vehicle, suggesting they could be viable treatments for sensitive skin issues.
Effects of environmental contaminents, such as air pollution and cigarette smoking on skin include increased oxidation, subclinical inflammation, and degradation of the dermal matrix, which can accelerate the skin aging process. An open-label, prospective study was conducted to assess the efficacy and tolerability of a topical anti-aging regimen comprising high-concentration retinoids, extract, and niacinamide in participants living in a heavily polluted (Level III, World Health Organization) city. Twenty-two female Caucasian volunteers with Fitzpatrick Skin Types III and IV were treated for 90 days with the topical anti-aging regimen.
