OBSERVATIONS
Profilometery assessments were taken on all study visits to assess the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles using the generated Silflo replicas of the periorbital area.
VISIA photography was taken and analysed by Canfield for assessments of pores.
Visual grading according to the Glogau scale of visible photodamage was conducted by a qualified assessor at all study time points.
Cutometery assessments of skin firmness and elasticity were conducted using a Courage and Khazaka Cutometer MPA 580.
Corneometer assessments of skin moisture content and the humectant properties of the regimes were conducted using a Courage and Khazaka Corneometer CM825.
Chromameter assessments of skin tone and skin brightness were conducted using a Courage and Khazaka CR300.
Self-perception Questionnaires were issued to each subject as designed by the sponsor to gather subjective opinions of the regimes used.
METHOD
At baseline, Informed Consent was obtained and verification of study eligibility was confirmed. Subjects underwent photography and instrumentation measurements/observations, with a subset of 10 subjects undergoing videography. Subjects were provided with the test articles that had been randomly assigned to them and a daily diary card to ensure compliance. Subjects were required to return to the testing facility for additional measurements/assessments on study days 14, 28, and 56.
ADVERSE EVENTS
No adverse events were recorded for any subject during the study.
