Abstract:
Vitamin A is the first vitamin approved by FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in treating wrinkles, fine lines, changes in micro relief and anti-aging effects. We sought to evaluate the efficiency and tolerability of treating signs of aging skin like wrinkles, hyperpigmentation’s and uneven surface of the skin using a 0.15% and 0.3% retinol. Patients at 2 sites (n=20, n=20) applied a novel formulation of retinol respectively 0.15% on the left and 0.3% on the right, daily to their faces for 2 months. Expert blind evaluation of images (VAS, visual analogue scale) occurred at week 4 and week 8. Tolerability was assessed throughout the study. Positive results of the observed pilot study warranted a follow-up study on the higher concentration and other parallel study. Most participants showed improvement in overall skin condition, which were graded at week 4 and week 8. Improvements at 56 days were comparable on the left and right side. The pilot study was crucial to evaluate the effects of two different concentrations in one original formulation to check if concentration in cosmetic products indicates visible changes in treatment.
