Brief Summary

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of an anti-aging serum to improve the appearance of expression lines as well as overall skin health of aging skin after 12 weeks of twice-daily use in female subjects, aged 35-60, compared to placebo. A total of 55 subjects completed study participation which included 33 subjects in the active group and 22 subjects in the placebo group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Clinical Efficacy Graded by Griffiths' Scale

    The primary efficacy endpoint will be the Investigator Clinical Grading using Modified Griffith's 10-point Scale. A decrease in scores at Day 28, Day 56 and Day 84 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.

    12 weeks

  • Objective Tolerability: scores

    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 28, Day 56 and Day 84 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 1. = Mild Slight, but definite redness of the treatment area 2. = Moderate Definite redness of the treatment area 3. = Severe Marked redness of the treatment area

Masking Details
Randomization will occur by assignment to either the active group or placebo group using a randomization table prepared prior to the start of the study by a non-participating staff member at the office of the investigator. Subjects will be assigned a number in numerical order as enrolled. The unblinded staff member will take a set of products from one of two groups of labeled active product vs. placebo and fill in the patient number and distribution date on the bottles to be dispensed to the subject.
