Long-Term Efficacy and Tolerability of a Daily Serum for Rejuvenation and Prejuvenation of Facial Skin.

Onjectives: To evaluate the long-term efficacy and tolerance of an anti-aging daily serum (AADS) when used twice-daily over 12 weeks by women with moderate skin fatigue and overall photodamage. The treatment targeted rejuvenation and prejuvenation of the facial skin. Method: This was an institutional review board (IRB)-approved, randomized, single-center, double-blinded, vehicle-controlled (VC) study involving healthy subjects. Seventy female subjects were recruited aged 30 to 60 years old, Fitzpatrick skin types I to VI, with moderate overall photodamage, facial skin dullness, and skin firmness. Subjects underwent a 1-week washout period with a skincare regimen consisting of a cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. Subjects were randomized to apply the AADS or VC to their face including upper eyelid, twice-daily for 12 weeks. Long-term efficacy and tolerance, self-assessment questionnaire, and VISIA® clinical photography were performed at baseline, weeks 4, 8, and 12.  Results: Statistically significant improvements in live, clinically graded efficacy parameters were demonstrated at post-baseline timepoints. Facial skin firmness, radiance, and roughness showed the most significant improvements at week 12. Analysis between treatments, in both live and photo-graded parameters, demonstrated merit of the AADS. VISIA® analysis further substantiated the efficacy of the AADS vs the VC. The AADS was well tolerated by clinical scoring and rating by subjects.  Conclusion: The AADS is effective in improving skin fatigue and overall photodamage after 12 weeks of twice-daily application compared with the VC. The AADS is a possible skincare solution for patients seeking a serum with skin rejuvenation and prejuvenation benefits. Citation: Reid L, Palm MD, Kononov T, et al.
