[0071] [ka] It can be expressed as follows.
[0072] In some cases, scalp preparations are in the form of serums.
[0073] The cosmetic dermatological formulations described herein may have any pH suitable for application to the skin. In some examples, the cosmetic dermatological formulations include a pH in the range of about 4 to about 7, or a pH of 4.4 to 6, with individual pH values or sub-ranges within the above range, or a pH of 5.5. In certain examples, the dermatological formulations are adjusted to provide a pH-adjusted dermatological formulation. a. Active agents (one or more), compositions (one or more), and other necessary ingredients (one or more) for cosmetic skin formulations.
[0074] The cosmetic dermatological formulations disclosed herein typically comprise a combination of one or more agents, one or more compositions, and one or more other components as needed. Dermatological formulations are understood to be blends of these agents, compositions, and other components as needed, typically forming a homogeneous composition. i. Drugs defined by formula I
[0075] In some cases, at least one activator of formula I is included in the skin formulation, and this activator contains a reactive moiety that can react with a nucleophile such as a thiol to form a bond. Such a reactive moiety can react with a thiol group to form a stable bond, for example, one that is resistant to hydrolysis. As used with respect to the bond formed between thiol groups, “stable” means that the bond remains intact for at least one week, two weeks, three weeks, four weeks, one month, or two months or longer when exposed to water at a temperature of about 5 to about 100°C, about 20°C to about 75°C, about 20°C to about 50°C, about 25°C to about 40°C, or about 25°C to about 30°C, or about 25°C at a pH of about 4 to about 6, or pH 4.4 to 6, or pH 5.5. In some cases, the temperature is about 25°C. The reaction between the reactive moiety and the thiol typically occurs around room temperature, for example, at around 15°C to 35°C, or around 20°C to 30°C, or around 22°C to 27°C.
[0076] As previously mentioned, the activator according to formula I can have the following structure: [ka] Here, A, B, C, and D are reactive parts with a charge of 1 or greater, R is a linker with a charge of 2 or greater, whose charge is opposite to that of the reactive part, where n = 1 to 100, preferably n = 1 to 10, more preferably n = 1. Each occurrence of p, q, r, and s is an independent integer between 0 and 25, preferably between 0 and 10, and more preferably between 0 and 2. The sum of p + q + r + s is equal to or greater than 2.
[0077] The reactive moieties can be located on any atom of the linker. In some cases, the reactive moieties are identical. In other cases, one or more of the reactive moieties differ.
[0078] In some examples, the reactive moiety is negatively charged, and the linker has a positively charged moiety. In other examples, the reactive moiety is positively charged, and the linker or spacer has a negatively charged moiety. Generally, the total charge on the active agent of Formula I is zero, but a stoichiometric imbalance may exist.
[0079] The reactive moieties on the active agent are typically linked via a linker R. As used herein, "linker R" refers to one or more polyfunctional molecules (e.g., difunctional molecules, trifunctional molecules, tetrafunctional molecules, etc.) that can be used to ionically bind two or more reactive moieties and do not interfere with the reactive properties of the reactive moieties. The reactive moiety can be bound to any portion of the linker R. 1. Linker R
[0080] In certain examples, for Formula I, n=1, and linker R is not a polymer. In some examples, linker R is a metal ion (e.g., Ca 2+ ) may be a single atom, or may be an atomic group of multiple atoms such as an alkyl, alkoxy, or alkenyl chain. Suitable linkers include, but are not limited to, oxygen, sulfur, carbon, boron, nitrogen, alkoxy, alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, aryl, heterocycloalkyl, heteroaryl, ether, amine, and polymers.
[0081] Linker R may be optionally independently substituted with one or more substituents, wherein the substituents include hydrogen, halogen, cyano, alkoxy, alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, aryl, heterocycloalkyl, heteroaryl, amine, hydroxy, formyl, acyl, carboxylic acid (-COOH), -C(O)R 1 , -C(O)OR 1 , carboxylate (-COO - ), primary amide (e.g., -CONH2), secondary amide (e.g., -CONHR 1 ), -C(O)NR 1R 2 , -NR 1 R 2 , -NR 1 S(O)2R 2 , -NR 1 C(O)R 2 -S(O)2R 2 , -SR 1 , and -S(O)2NR 1 R 2 , sulfinyl group (e.g., -SOR 1 ), and sulfonyl groups (e.g., -SOOR 1 ) is included here R 1 and R 2 Each of these can independently be hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heterocycloalkyl, and heteroaryl, R 1 and R 2 Each of these is optionally independently substituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of halogens, hydroxyl, cyano, nitro, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, alkyl optionally substituted with one or more halogens, alkoxy or aryloxy, aryl optionally substituted with one or more halogens, alkoxy or alkyl or trihaloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl optionally substituted with =O or "alkyl optionally substituted with hydroxyl", cycloalkyl optionally substituted with hydroxyl, heteroaryl optionally substituted with one or more halogens, alkoxy or alkyl or trihaloalkyl, haloalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, carboxy, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkoxycarbonyl, aminocarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyl, and dialkylaminocarbonyl.
[0082] In some cases, linker R may be based on alkoxy, ether, alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, aryl, heterocycloalkyl, heteroaryl, or amine. In yet other cases, the linker is a polyfunctional molecule that is an alkoxy or alkenyl molecule, and the linker may be hydrogen, halogen, cyano, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, amine, hydroxy, formyl, acyl, primary amide, secondary amide, or -C(O)NR 1 R 2 , -NR 1 R 2 , -NR 1 S(O)2R 2 , -NR 1 C(O)R 2 -S(O)2R 2 , -SR 1 , and -S(O)2NR 1 R 2 It is substituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of a sulfinyl group and a sulfonyl group, where R 1 and R 2 Each of these can independently be hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heterocycloalkyl, or heteroaryl, and R 1 and R 2Each of these is a halogen, hydroxyl, cyano, nitro, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, alkyl optionally substituted with one or more halogens or alkoxys or aryloxys, aryl optionally substituted with one or more halogens or alkoxys or alkyls or trihaloalkyls, aryl or heteroaryl or heterocycloalkyl optionally substituted with "=O or hydroxyl-substituted alkyl", cycloalkyl optionally substituted with hydroxyl, heteroaryl optionally substituted with one or more halogens or alkoxys or alkyls or trihaloalkyls, haloalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, carboxy, alkoxy, aryl The linker may be a polyfunctional molecule that is independently substituted as needed with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of hydroxy, alkoxycarbonyl, aminocarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyl, and dialkylaminocarbonyl, or the linker may be a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl molecule, and if substituted, the substituents of the alkyl molecule may be selected from the group consisting of halogen, hydroxyl, thiocarbonyl, alkoxyl, phosphoryl, phosphate, phosphonate, phosphine, amino, amide, amidine, imine, cyano, nitro, azide, sulfhydryl, alkylthio, sulfate, sulfonate, sulfamoyl, sulfonamide, sulfonyl, heterocyclyl, aralkyl, aromatic, and heteroaromatic groups.
[0083] The reaction between the reactive moiety and the thiol group can begin at room temperature and atmospheric pressure when the thiol group and the reactive moiety come into contact, such as in the skin. In some other examples, the reaction may involve heat, a catalyst, basic conditions, and / or an initiator such as a free radical initiator. The reaction rate between the reactive moiety and the thiol can be increased by changes in temperature, pH, and / or the addition of one or more additives such as a catalyst, but this is generally not necessary.
[0084] In some cases, the reactive moiety can undergo conjugate addition reactions. The reactive moiety may independently be, or may contain, a Michael acceptor, a succinimidyl-containing group, a maleimide-containing group, an azulactone, a benzoxazinon derivative, a vinyl sulfone, a vinyl sulfoximine, a vinyl sulfonate, a vinyl phosphonate, a benzoxazinon, an isocyanate, an epoxide, an electrophilic moiety containing a leaving group, an electrophilic thiol acceptor, an acrylic or acrylate group, a methacrylic or methacrylate group, a styrene group, an acrylamide group, a methacrylamide group, a maleate group, a fumarate group, an itaconate group, a vinyl ether group, an allyl ether group, an allyl ester group, a vinyl ester group, a sulfonate group, a phosphonate group, a sulfoxide group, a sulfonamide group, a sulfinimide group, a sulfonimidate group, or a sulfonimidoamide group.
[0085] In certain examples, each of the reactive moieties A, B, C, and / or D (if present) independently contains a moiety selected from the group consisting of vinyl sulfone, acrylate group, methacrylate group, styrene group, acrylamide group, methacrylamide group, maleate group, fumarate group, and itaconate group. Furthermore, in preferred examples, n=1 and linker R is not a polymer. If necessary, all reactive moieties are identical. For example, in some examples, all reactive moieties are maleate groups.
[0086] In some cases, the activator according to formula I has the following chemical structure: [ka] It can be represented by one of these.
[0087] In some specific cases, the activator according to formula I is bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, which can be expressed as shown below: [ka] .

[0174] More specifically, such examples include, but are not limited to, xanthan gum, acrylamide copolymers, agarose, amylopectin, bentonite, calcium alginate, calcium carboxymethyl cellulose, carbomer, carboxymethyl chitin, cellulose gum, dextrin, gelatin, hydrogenated tallow, hydroxyethyl-cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl starch, magnesium alginate, methyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, pectin, various polyethylene glycols, polyacrylic acid, polyacrylate crosspolymer-6, poly-methacrylic acid, polyvinyl alcohol, various polypropylene glycols, sodium acrylate copolymers, sodium carrageenan, xanthan gum, and / or yeast β-glucan.
[0175] Furthermore, carboxylic acid polymers can be useful thickeners. Carboxylic acid polymers are crosslinked compounds containing one or more monomers derived from acrylic acid, substituted acrylic acid, and salts and esters of these acrylic and substituted acrylic acid, where the crosslinker contains two or more carbon-carbon double bonds and is derived from polyhydric alcohols. Examples of commercially available carboxylic acid polymers that are useful thickeners for use in the formulations described herein include carbomers, which are homopolymers of acrylic acid crosslinked with allyl ethers of sucrose or pentaerythritol. Carbomers are available from BFGoodrich as the CARBOPOL® 900 series (e.g., CARBOPOL® 954). Furthermore, other suitable carboxylic acid polymer agents include acrylic acid C 10~30 Alkyl compounds and acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, or their short chains (i.e., C 1~4 Examples include copolymers with one or more monomers of alcohol esters, where the crosslinking agent is the allyl ether of sucrose or pentaerythritol. These copolymers are acrylate / acrylic acid C 10~30 Alkyl crosspolymers are well known and are commercially available from BFGoodrich as CARBOPOL® 1342, CARBOPOL® 1382, Pemulen TR-1, and Pemulen TR-2. Examples of useful carboxylic acid polymer thickeners used herein include carbomers and acrylates / C acrylates. 10~30 Examples include alkyl crosspolymers and mixtures thereof.
[0176] Further suitable thickeners may include ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate / VP copolymer, SEPIMAX ZEN (polyacrylate crosspolymer-6), and / or SEPINOV WEO (hydroxyethyl acrylate / sodium acryloyldimethyltaurate copolymer).
[0177] Furthermore, a wide variety of polysaccharides are useful as thickeners in this specification. Non-limiting examples of polysaccharide gelling agents include cellulose, carboxymethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, cellulose propionate acetate carboxylate, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl ethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium cellulose sulfate, and mixtures thereof. Alkyl-substituted celluloses are also useful in this specification. In these polymers, the hydroxyl groups of the cellulose polymer are hydroxyalkylated (e.g., hydroxyethylated or hydroxypropylated) to form hydroxyalkylated cellulose, which is then C via ether bonds. 10~30 They are further modified with linear or branched alkyl groups. Typically, these polymers are C 10~30These are ethers of linear or branched-chain alcohols and hydroxyalkylcellulose. Examples of useful alkyl groups used herein include those selected from stearyl, isostearyl, lauryl, myristyl, cetyl, isocetyl, cocoyl (e.g., alkyl groups derived from coconut oil alcohols), palmityl, oleyl, linoleyl, linolenyl, ricinoleyl, behenyl, and mixtures thereof. Of particular interest among alkylhydroxyalkylcellulose ethers is the material having the CTFA designation cetylhydroxyethylcellulose, which is an ether of cetyl alcohol and hydroxyethylcellulose. This material is marketed by Aqualon Corporation (Wilmington, Del.) under the trademark name NATROSOL® CS Plus. Further examples can be found in The International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary and Handbook, the Cosmetic Bench Reference-Directory of Cosmetic Ingredients, publications provided by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the National Pharmaceutical Collection (NF), and other references on cosmetic and pharmaceutical ingredients known in the art. Other useful polysaccharides include scleroglucan, a linear chain of (1-3) linked glucose units, with (1-6) linked glucose units every three units. A commercially available example is Clearogel® CS11 from Michel Mercier Products Inc. (Mountainside, NJ).
[0178] Other thickeners and gelling agents useful herein include materials primarily derived from natural sources. Non-limiting examples of these gelling gums include acacia, agar, algin, alginic acid, ammonium alginate, amylopectin, calcium alginate, calcium carrageenan, carnitine, carrageenan, dextrin, gelatin, gellan gum, guar gum, guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, hectorite, hyaluronic acid, hydrated silica, hydroxypropyl chitosan, hydroxypropyl guar, karaya gum, kelp, locust bean gum, natto gum, potassium alginate, potassium carrageenan, propylene glycol alginate, sclerotium gum, sodium carboxymethyl dextran, dextran sulfate, potassium carrageenan, tragacanth gum, xanthan gum, and / or mixtures thereof. Furthermore, these formulations may also optionally contain polyacrylamide polymers, particularly nonionic polyacrylamide polymers including substituted branched or unbranched polymers. Among these polyacrylamide polymers, particularly those with the CTFA designation polyacrylamide and nonionic polymers having isoparaffin and laureth-7, are available from Seppic Corporation (Fairfield, NJ) under the trade name Sepigel 305. Other polyacrylamide polymers useful herein include multiblock copolymers of acrylamide and substituted acrylamide with acrylic acid and substituted acrylic acid. 21. Penetration enhancer
[0179] Penetration enhancers that may be included in cosmetic skin formulations are substances that promote the absorption of penetrating agents through the skin film by temporarily reducing the impermeability of the skin. Ideally, these materials should be pharmacologically inert, non-toxic, non-irritating, non-allergenic, odorless, tasteless, and colorless, and should have good solvent properties. Enhancers should not cause significant loss of body fluids, electrolytes, and other endogenous substances, and the skin should recover its barrier properties upon removal within an acceptable time. It is impossible for a single penetration enhancer to possess all the required properties. However, many enhancers exhibit many of these attributes, and these are described (for example, as outlined in Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy 2000, 26, 1131-1140). 22. Antihistamines
[0180] Cosmetic skin preparations may contain antihistamines (also called histamine antagonists) as needed. These are substances that inhibit the action of histamine by blocking histamine from binding to histamine receptors, by inhibiting the enzymatic activity of histidine decarboxylase, which catalyzes the reaction that converts histidine to histamine, or by similar means. Examples of appropriate antihistamines include acribastine, azelastine, brompheniramine, buclidine, bromodifenhydramine, carbinoxamine, cetirizine, chlorpromazine, cyclidine, chlorpheniramine, chlorodiphenhydramine, cimetidine, clemastine, cyproheptadine, desloratadine, dexbrompheniramine, deschlorpheniramine, dexchlorpheniramine, dimenhydrinate, dimeth These include lenden, diphenhydramine, doxylamine, ebastine, embramin, famotidine, fexofenadine, lafutidine, levocetirizine, loratadine, meclozine, mirtazapine, nizatidine, olopatadine, orphenadrine, phenindamine, pheniramine, phenyltroxamine, promethazine, pyrilamine, quetiapine, ranitidine, roxatidine, rupatadine, triperenamine, and triprolidine.
[0181] Antihistamines may be included in cosmetic skin formulations described herein. In one example, the antihistamine may be included at a level of about 0.01% to about 10%, or about 0.5% to about 5%, relative to the weight of the formulation. The exact percentage of antihistamine to be used in the formulation depends on the specific anti-inflammatory agent used, because such agents may have different potencies. 23. Preservatives
[0182] Cosmetic dermatological formulations contain one or more preservatives as necessary to prevent the growth of microorganisms in the formulation. Suitable preservatives include, but are not limited to, glycerin-containing compounds (e.g., glycerin or ethylhexylglycerin or phenoxyethanol), 1,2-hexanediol, propanediol, benzyl alcohol, parabens (methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, isobutylparaben, etc.), sodium benzoate, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), potassium sorbate, and / or grapefruit seed extract, or combinations thereof. More than one preservative may be contained in the formulation. Other preservatives are well known in the cosmetics industry and include sodium chloride, salicylic acid, DMDM hydantoin, formaldehyde, chlorphenisine, triclosan, imidazolidinyl urea, diazolidinyl urea, sorbic acid, methylisothiazolinone, sodium dehydroacetate, dehydroacetic acid, quaternium-15, stearalkonium chloride, zinc pyrithione, sodium metabisulfite, 2-bromo-2-nitropropane, chlorhexidine digluconate, polyaminopropyl biguanide, benzalkonium chloride, sodium sulfite, sodium salicylate, citric acid, neem oil, various essential oils, lactic acid, and vitamin E (tocopherol).
[0183] Preservatives may be added to the cosmetic skin formulations described. In one example, the preservative is added at a level of about 0.01% to about 10%, or about 0.5% to about 5%, relative to the weight of the formulation. The exact percentage of preservative to be used in the formulation depends on the specific preservative used, because such agents may have different potencies. In some examples, the preservative(s) may be included in amounts ranging from about 0.1% to about 5%, preferably from about 0.3% to about 3%, relative to the weight of the formulation, as needed. Preferably, the formulation does not contain parabens. 24. Ceramide
[0184] Cosmetic skin formulations may contain one or more ceramides as needed. Suitable ceramides include, but are not limited to, ceramide AP, ceramide EOP, ceramide NS, ceramide NP, ceramide NG, and combinations thereof. In one example, ceramides are added at levels of approximately 0.01% to 10%, or approximately 0.5% to 5%, relative to the weight of the formulation. The exact percentage of ceramide to be used in a formulation depends on the specific ceramide being used, because such formulations may have different potencies. 25. Exfoliating agent
[0185] Cosmetic skin formulations may contain, as needed, one or more ceramides, selected from, but not limited to, alpha hydroxy acids such as lactic acid, glycolic acid, mandelic acid, tartaric acid, and malic acid, to promote the removal of dead cells and stimulate the formation of collagen and elastin. In some cases, exfoliants are added at levels of approximately 0.01% to 10%, or approximately 0.5% to 5%, relative to the weight of the formulation. The exact percentage of exfoliant to be used in a formulation depends on the specific exfoliant being used, as such agents may have different potencies.
[0186] Skin formulations may contain, as necessary, one or more additional substances (additives, carriers, or excipients), such as those described herein, which should provide some benefit to the purpose of the formulation. In some cases, the selected additional substance may result in enhanced potency of the formulation compared to a formulation that does not contain this additional substance. This enhanced potency may be additive (the sum of the potencies of the individual agents alone) or greater than additive (greater than the sum of the potencies of the individual agents alone). The decision of whether to include additional components or substances, and the selection of specific components or substances, depends on the specific use of the formulation. d. Forms of cosmetic skin preparations
[0187] The cosmetic dermatological formulations described may be any suitable physical form. Suitable forms include, but are not limited to, liquids, lotions, emulsions, gels, emulsions (i.e., macroemulsions, microemulsions, nanoemulsions, oil-in-water, silicone-in-water, water-in-oil, water-in-silicone, water-in-oil, water-in-water oil, and oil-in-water-in-oil emulsions), ointments, creams, serums, colloids, solutions, suspensions, dispersions, pastes, ointments, and oils. In some examples, cosmetic dermatological formulations may be present in at least part of a patch, a microneedle device, or form at least part of any other cosmetic or dermatologically acceptable formulation or device. In some examples, cosmetic dermatological formulations may be skin rejuvenation products, skin conditioners, or skin moisturizers. In some cases, cosmetic skin formulations exist in or form part of skin patches (i.e., iontophoresis patches, microprojection patches, microneedle patches), skin masks, tissue wipes, foundations, lip liners, lip glosses, lip balms, sunscreens, sunblocks, soaps, body scrubs, exfoliants (such as malic acid), cold creams, cleansers, rinses, and / or any other forms readily apparent to those skilled in the art.

In some other specific cases, cosmetic dermatological formulations are skin moisturizer formulations. In yet another case, cosmetic dermatological formulations are scalp formulations, such as scalp serums.
[0189] The cosmetic skin formulations described may have any appropriate viscosity, depending on the form of the formulation. In some cases, the viscosity may be in the range of approximately 100 cps to approximately 1,000,000 cps, approximately 100 cps to approximately 500,000 cps, approximately 100 cps to approximately 100,000 cps, approximately 100 cps to approximately 75,000 cps, or approximately 1,000 cps to approximately 50,000 cps, as well as sub-ranges and individual viscosity values that fall within the aforementioned ranges. III. Kit
[0190] The cosmetic skin formulations described herein may be provided as part of a cosmetic kit. The kit may include instructions for use, if necessary.
[0191] The kit may further include one or more different cosmetic dermatological formulations that may serve different purposes, such as providing different effects and / or improvements in the appearance of the skin. The kit may, as necessary, include one or more other dermatological formulations that are commercially available and not included in the scope of the cosmetic dermatological formulations described herein. Each of the cosmetic dermatological formulations and, as necessary, the dermatological formulations are typically provided in separate, suitable containers and / or compartments forming the kit.
[0192] In some examples, the kit may include at least one cosmetic skin formulation, which is in the form of a serum, and at least one other cosmetic skin formulation, which is a moisturizer. Such a kit may further include one or more other skin formulations, such as a skin cleanser. In certain examples, the serum is a facial serum.

In yet another example, the kit includes one cosmetic skin formulation in the form of a serum, one cosmetic skin formulation in the form of a moisturizer, and another skin formulation which is a skin cleanser. IV.How to use
[0194] The cosmetic dermatological formulations described herein are used to treat the skin. In one non-limiting example, a method for treating the skin is: (1) The process of applying the cosmetic skin preparation described to the subject's skin. Includes.
[0195] The subjects are typically mammals, such as humans.
[0196] In some cases, the cosmetic dermatological formulation is applied topically to any area of the subject's face, neck, neckline, décolleté, scalp, hands, palms, arms, legs, feet, soles of feet, chest, breasts, back, abdomen, buttocks, and / or any other skin area. In some cases, the cosmetic dermatological formulation is applied to the face. In some specific cases, the cosmetic dermatological formulation is in a form suitable for application to the skin of the subject's face and / or scalp, and the formulation is in the form of a serum, if necessary.
[0197] In some cases, cosmetic skin formulations, once applied, remain on the skin for a period of up to 24 hours, up to 20 hours, up to 15 hours, up to 10 hours, up to 8 hours, up to 7 hours, up to 6 hours, up to 5 hours, up to 4 hours, up to 3 hours, up to 2 hours, or up to 1 hour.
[0198] In some other cases, skin formulations remain on the skin for approximately 1 to 30 minutes, 1 to 20 minutes, 1 to 15 minutes, 1 to 10 minutes, 5 to 30 minutes, 5 to 20 minutes, 5 to 15 minutes, or 5 to 10 minutes.
[0199] In further examples, cosmetic skin formulations may be removed from the skin after step (1) if necessary, for example, by rinsing the skin with water or washing the skin with a cleansing agent and water. In certain other examples, the formulation is completely absorbed by the skin, so it is not necessary to remove the formulation from the skin during application.
[0200] In some cases, cosmetic dermatological formulations may also be applied (i.e., before, after, or simultaneously) in combination with the use of dermatological devices to alter the penetration properties of the skin, such as lasers, light, infrared, radiofrequency, ultrasound, electroporation, sonophoresis, thermal, plasma, and / or high-pressure devices, and / or any combination thereof (including combined devices). Any other commonly used means of administration may also be available.
[0201] In some cases, cosmetic skin formulations are supplied with instructions for use / application. In one non-limiting example, the instructions may include guidance such as applying a certain amount of the skin formulation product to the skin (e.g., face and / or body) at least once a day (morning or evening) or twice a day (morning and evening) after using a cleanser and / or lotion, before applying any other skin care formulation, and / or after a typical skin regimen used by the user.
[0202] In some cases, cosmetic skin formulations are, for example, scalp formulations applied daily in the form of a serum. Scalp formulations are applied to dry or damp hair, rubbed into the scalp, and the formulation can be dispersed and absorbed into the subject's scalp skin. In some cases, scalp formulations are applied to the subject's natural parting and / or along the hairline. a. Evaluating the efficacy of cosmetic skin preparations.
[0203] Methods and processes for testing and evaluating the efficacy of cosmetic dermatological formulations are well known. For example, skin maintenance, prevention, amelioration and / or treatment of signs of skin aging, protection and / or improvement of skin conditions, and prevention and / or treatment of skin defects are functional characteristics that can be visualized, analyzed, measured and quantified using many techniques well known to experts in cosmetic dermatological treatments.
[0204] In some cases, the described skin formulations may be evaluated for their ability to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, skin folds, and skin roughness, either by direct, non-contact quantification of a person using fringe projection (FOITS = High-Speed Optical In vivo Topometry System; DERMATOP® or PRIMOS® system), or by silicone replication of skin areas subsequently analyzed by a technique called “drop shadowing,” or by a FIOTS system, or by a Canfield VISIA® instrument. Changes in facial volume and shape may be quantified using a non-contact surface texture acquisition system with fringe projection FIOTS systems. Changes in the skin barrier may be quantified by measuring transepidermal water loss (TEWL) using TEWAMETER®, VAPOMETER®, DERMALAB®, and / or AQUAFLUX® instruments. Loss of skin firmness and / or elasticity and / or tone, as well as fatigue, can be quantified using CUTOMETER®, REVISCOMETER®, AEROFLEXMETER®, DYNASKIN®, BALLISTOMETER®, TWISTOMETER®, and / or DERMALAB® instruments. Dull skin color, loss of skin tone uniformity, changes in pigmentation (hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation), localized redness, loss of skin color clarity and radiance, pigmented spots, rosacea, and dark circles can be directly measured using MEXAMETER®, CHROMAMETER®, COLORMETER®, Canfield VISIA®, Canfield VISIA-CR®, SIASCOPE®, GONIOLUX®, or confocal laser microscopes, and / or by specific color analysis on photographs (possible by imaging techniques using polarized crossed and parallel light). The number and size of facial pores can be quantified by the silicone replication techniques described above, or by specific analysis on photographs (which can be performed using a video microscope or macroscopic imaging system).Atrophy and thinning of the skin, epidermis, dermis, or subcutaneous tissue (e.g., in the study of slimming agents) can be measured by measuring TEWL (e.g., in the study of the epidermis) or by ultrasound and / or confocal laser microscopy. Skin fiber density can be quantified by ultrasound and then by image analysis. Cellulite is quantified either directly by a non-contact surface texture acquisition system using fringe projection (FOITS) or indirectly by measuring the length of the dermal-subcutaneous tissue junction with ultrasound. Stretch marks are quantified either directly using a non-contact surface texture acquisition system using fringe projection (FOITS) or directly by silicone replication techniques. Skin softness can be measured directly by friction research techniques using friction measuring devices or indirectly by silicone replication techniques. Changes in collagen, extracellular matrix components, and / or connective tissue fibers can be quantified by histology, confocal laser microscopy, UV spectroscopy, SIASCOPE®, and / or multiphoton spectroscopy. All visible changes (including, but not limited to, fine lines, wrinkles, folds, texture, sagging, loss of elasticity, discoloration, tone, pigmentation, and redness) can be quantified directly or photographically, with or without a visual scoring system (e.g., a four-level severity scale), with or without a trained examiner (or panel of examiners).
[0205] Some of the benefits and effects associated with the use of the dermatological formulations described herein may be evaluated by trained individuals or panels of trained individuals using scoring systems or scales. It is possible to determine the increase / decrease in scores attributable to the application of the cosmetic dermatological formulation by comparing the scores of skin condition (e.g., fine lines, wrinkles, folds, texture, sagging, loss of elasticity, color, tone, pigmentation, redness, etc.) before and after treatment with the cosmetic dermatological formulation. It is also possible to determine the increase / decrease in scores over time attributable to the application of the cosmetic dermatological formulation by comparing the scores of skin condition (e.g., fine lines, wrinkles, folds, texture, sagging, loss of elasticity, color, tone, pigmentation, redness, etc.) at two different time points between the application of the cosmetic dermatological formulation (e.g., after one or two applications of the formulation daily, and at weeks 2 and 5). In some cases, where a higher score indicates an improvement in skin characteristics or condition, the score after treatment with the cosmetic dermatological formulation increases by at least 1 point or more. In some cases, if a lower score indicates improvement in skin characteristics or condition, the score after treatment with a cosmetic dermatological formulation decreases by at least 1 point or more. In some cases, if a higher score indicates improvement, the score after treatment with a cosmetic dermatological formulation increases by at least approximately 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100% or more compared to the score before treatment with the cosmetic dermatological formulation. In some cases, if a lower score indicates improvement, the score after treatment with a cosmetic dermatological formulation decreases by at least approximately 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100% or more compared to the score before treatment with the cosmetic dermatological formulation.
[0206] In some cases, the effect on one or more skin properties is assessed on a given number of point-based ordinal scales, such as 0-5 scales (0 = no effect, 1 = very slight effect, 2 = mild effect, 3 = moderate effect, 4 = large effect), and this effect is assessed by looking at the change in score between two time points (e.g., before and after the initial treatment, or between two time points, e.g., before the initial treatment and at time points ranging from 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, 7 months, 8 months, 9 months, 10 months, 11 months, or 1 year after the treatment). For example, rank scores may be assigned to skin characteristics before application of a skin formulation (including, but not limited to, facial erythema, fine lines, wrinkles, brightness / radiance, tactile skin roughness, visual skin roughness, and / or overall appearance) and may be compared to scores at a second (subsequent) time point after one or more treatments with the skin formulation. In some cases, the comparison is between scores at two time points after application of the formulation to the skin (e.g., in the case of repeated applications over time). Scores may change between two given time points during treatment with the cosmetic skin formulation (e.g., between week 1 and week 4). In some cases, scores increase between two given time points if an increase is considered desirable. In some cases, scores decrease between two given time points if a decrease is considered desirable. In some cases, if possible on the selected ordinal scale, the score increases or decreases by at least 1 point, which indicates improvement of desired effects on the skin (e.g., brightness / radiance, overall appearance) and / or amelioration of undesirable effects (e.g., facial erythema, wrinkles, skin roughness) as a result of using the skin formulation.
[0207] In some cases, a skin formulation may have an effect on one or more skin properties compared to untreated skin or a control skincare formulation. This effect may be an improvement in one or more desirable skin properties and / or a reduction / decreasation of one or more undesirable skin properties. For example, one or more properties may include, but are not limited to: improved skin texture, improved skin elasticity when pinched or pressed, improved skin firmness, reduced skin redness, reduced skin inflammation, increased smoothness of lines and / or wrinkles, reduced fine lines and / or wrinkles, reduced visibility and / or prominence of fine lines and / or wrinkles, improved skin smoothness, improved skin softness, improved skin hydration, improved skin plumpness, reduced skin dryness, reduced skin peeling, improved skin brightness, improved skin radiance, improved skin appearance, or improved skin redness, or any combination thereof. Improvements in one or more properties of the skin can be evaluated using various methods known in the art, including the methods described herein.
[0208] In some cases, the skin formulation is a serum, and after a certain period of time, the skin's barrier function, luster, hydration, smoothness, firmness, elasticity, texture, and / or brightness are improved compared to the skin before the serum was applied to the subject's skin, and / or redness, lines, and / or wrinkles are reduced compared to the skin before the serum was applied to the subject's skin. Such improvements or reductions may be evaluated, for example, by visual and / or tactile grading, or by other appropriate methods described herein, after a certain period of time, compared to the skin before the serum was applied to the subject's skin. 1. Gene expression analysis
[0209] In some cases, skin formulations may be evaluated for their ability to upregulate or downregulate the expression of one or more genes after one or more applications to the skin.
[0210] Gene expression may be assessed using standard methods known in the field, which may include determining target mRNA levels in a cell sample. RNA may be extracted from cells using RNA extraction techniques, including, for example, acid phenol / guanidine isothiocyanate extraction (RNAzol B; Biogenesis), RNeasy RNA preparation kits (Qiagen), or PAXgene (PreAnalytix, Switzerland). Typical assay forms utilizing ribonucleic acid hybridization include nuclear run-on assays, reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR), quantitative PCR analysis, RNase protection assays, Northern blotting, in situ hybridization, sequential gene expression analysis (SAGE), differential or incremental hybridization, microarrays, and sequencing techniques such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) and / or RNA-Seq. The analysis may involve the analysis of one, two, three, four, five or more individual targets, and / or the analysis of the entire transcriptome. The transcriptome refers to the set of all RNA-coding transcripts, and optionally all non-coding transcripts, in a single cell or a population of cells.
[0211] Gene expression analysis can be a comparative analysis of gene expression under two or more different conditions and / or between two or more different cell types. For example, in some forms, the gene expression of one or more targets or the whole transcriptome before treatment with a cutaneous formulation is compared to the gene expression of one or more targets or the whole transcriptome after one or more treatments with a cutaneous formulation. In some forms, the gene expression of one or more targets or the whole transcriptome after one or more treatments with a cutaneous formulation is compared to the gene expression of one or more targets or the whole transcriptome after one or more additional subsequent treatments with a cutaneous formulation.
[0212] For example, skin formulations can be evaluated in vitro at the gene level based on changes in the human transcriptome from cultured human 3D skin tissue models such as EPIDERM-FT®. Based on this, differential gene expression can be quantified using microarray methods such as the CLARIOM® S microarray method. Such a test method allows whole gene expression profiling from 21,448 well-annotated genes analyzable with the Affymetrix Human CLARIOM® S array, and significant expression changes can be filtered / identified using a multiplier change threshold: <-2 or >2 relative to placebo or no treatment. Typically, the genes evaluated affect or regulate (i.e., upregulate or downregulate) enhancement of skin barrier function, development of the outer stratum corneum, and / or outer stratum corneum lipid synthesis. Examples of such gene expression tests are described below and in the Examples section.
[0213] In some cases, when tested for gene expression, skin formulations may upcontrol or downcontrol one or more of the following genes: involucrin (IVL), keratin 1 (KRT1), transglutaminase 1 (TGM1), filaggrin (FLG), loricrin (LOR), and any combination thereof, as needed.
[0214] In some cases, when tested for gene expression, skin formulations may upcontrol or downcontrol one or more of the following genes: TNF-α, interleukin-6, and interleukin-8, and all of them as needed.
[0215] In other examples, when tested for gene expression, the skin formulation upregulates one or more of the following genes: involucrin (IVL), keratin 1 (KRT1), transglutaminase 1 (TGM1), filaggrin (FLG), loricrin (LOR), and combinations thereof, and all of them as appropriate. The skin formulation downregulates one or more of the following genes: TNF-α, interleukin-6, and interleukin-8, and, as appropriate, one or more of kappa light chain polypeptide gene enhancer nuclear factor 1 (NFKB1) in B cells, and all of them as appropriate.
[0216] In some cases, skin formulations modulate (i.e., upregulate or downregulate) genes associated with enhancing skin barrier function, including ceramide synthase 1 (CERS1), ceramide synthase 2 (CERS2), ceramide synthase 3 (CERS3), ceramide synthase 4 (CERS4), ceramide synthase 5 (CERS5), ceramide synthase 6 (CERS6), tight junction protein 1 (TJP1), occludin (OCLN), filaggrin (FLG), prostaglandin-endoperoxidase synthase 2 (PTGS2), and one or more of the following in B cells: kappa light chain polypeptide gene enhancer nuclear factor 1 (NFKB1), involucrin (IVL), keratin 1 (KRT1), transglutaminase 1 (TGM1), loricrin (LOR), and combinations thereof.
[0217] In other examples, when tested for gene expression, skin formulations upregulate or downregulate one or more of the following genes of outer stratum corneum development: loricrin (LOR), small proline-rich protein 1A (SPRR1A), small proline-rich protein 1B (SPRR1B), small proline-rich protein 2A (SPRR2A), small proline-rich protein 2B (SPRR2B), small proline-rich protein 2D (SPRR2D), small proline-rich protein 2E (SPRR2E), small proline-rich protein 2F (SPRR2F), small proline-rich protein 2G (SPRR2G), small proline-rich protein 3 (SPRR3), and small proline-rich protein 4 (SPRR4), as well as combinations thereof.
[0218] In other examples, when testing gene expression, skin formulations may target the following genes that regulate outer stratum corneum lipid synthesis: UDP-glucose ceramide glucosyltransferase (UGCG), fatty acid synthase (FASN), late stratum corneum 1A (LCE1A), late stratum corneum 1B (LCE1B), late stratum corneum 1C (LCE1C), late stratum corneum 1D (LCE1D), late Upregulating or downregulating one or more of the following: late keratinized membrane 1E (LCE1E), late keratinized membrane 1F (LCE1F), late keratinized membrane 2A (LCE2A), late keratinized membrane 2B (LCE2B), late keratinized membrane 2C (LCE2C), late keratinized membrane 2D (LCE2D), late keratinized membrane 3A (LCE3A), late keratinized membrane 3B (LCE3B), late keratinized membrane 3C (LCE3C), late keratinized membrane 3D (LCE3D), late keratinized membrane 3E (LCE3E), late keratinized membrane 4A (LCE4A), late keratinized membrane 5A (LCE5A), and late keratinized membrane 6A (LCE6A), or any combination thereof. 2. Clinical research on skin formulations
[0219] Skin formulations can be evaluated using clinical studies. In one non-limiting example, if a group of subjects is studied using a skin formulation once or twice daily, according to the instructions provided to the study participants, over a period of time, for example, over approximately three months or 90 days of use at home, the clinical study may rely on any combination of expert visual / tactile grading, corneometer measurements, TEWL measurements, cutometer measurements, vivaScope measurements, SkiCon measurements, and self-report questionnaires.
[0220] The efficacy of skin formulations for improving skin elasticity and firmness can be evaluated by aspiration, for example, using a Cutometer®. The efficacy of formulations for maintaining healthy skin, or skin conditioning efficacy, can be evaluated by transepidermal water loss (TEWL) measurement, for example, using a Tewameter®.
[0221] Exemplary parameters for clinical research are provided below. However, clinical research in the field of skincare can be diverse and can be designed in any appropriate manner. Exemplary research methods:
[0222] A rinse-off product may be used by the research subject before the first application of the skin formulation being evaluated. Skin formulations are supplied to subjects along with instructions for use, to be followed accordingly. Illustrative instructions for use are as follows:
[0223] After cleansing / toning, apply a generous amount (1-2 pumps) of the formulation to the face and forearms twice daily (morning and evening) before applying the research participant's regular regimen. No other serums / moisturizers should be used. Each research participant should indicate whether they used the product each day. Exemplary research procedure: First visit - rinsing period (-5 days):
[0224] A rinse-off product is provided to the subjects and used on their face and forearms for five consecutive days prior to their second study visit, in place of their usual facial cleanser. Subjects use a usage log to track the progress of rinsing.
[0225] Participants who met the registration criteria were provided with a rinse-off product, which they used on their face and forearms for five consecutive days prior to their second study visit, in place of their usual facial cleanser. Participants were given a usage log to track the progress of the rinse-off. Participants were instructed not to apply any creams or moisturizers to their face or forearms starting two days before their second visit and throughout the entire study period. Participants were also instructed to come to all study visits without makeup. At their next visit, participants brought their log and the rinse-off product and washed their face 2.5 hours before their appointment. Visit 2 - Baseline (Day 1 of the study):
[0226] Subjects visit the testing facility where their eligibility is verified, their record sheets are checked, and rinse products are collected. If accepted into the study, subjects acclimate to indoor environmental conditions (temperature 20-22°C and relative humidity 30-50%) for at least 30 minutes prior to evaluation. Baseline measurements are then taken, and the subject's face is visually and tactilely evaluated by a professional scorer. Corneometer, SkiCon, and TEWL assessments are also performed using the forearm, and Vivascope and Cutometer assessments are conducted on the face.
[0227] After the baseline assessment is complete, the skin formulation will be applied to the face and forearm, followed by a visual assessment of the face by a specialist, as well as a reassessment of the forearm using a corneometer, SkiCon, and TEWL. The subject will also complete a Self-Report Questionnaire (SPQ). The subject will then be given the skin formulation and instructions for use, to be used as directed over the next three months upon returning home. The subject will also thoroughly wash their face at least 2.5 hours prior to each visit. Day 3 of hospital visit - Day 7 of study:
[0228] After using the product at home for 7 days (as directed), the subject returns to the testing facility. The test item is weighed, and a record sheet is checked for compliance with regulations. The subject also acclimates to indoor environmental conditions (temperature 20-22°C and relative humidity 30-50%) for at least 30 minutes prior to evaluation. Subsequently, a professional evaluator visually and tactilely assesses the subject's face, performing Corneometer, SkiCon, and TEWL assessments on the forearm, and Cutometer assessments on the face. The subject also completes a self-awareness questionnaire. Day 4 of hospital visit - Day 30 of study:
[0229] After using the product at home for 30 days (as directed), the subject returns to the testing facility. The test item is weighed, and a record sheet is checked for compliance with regulations. The subject also acclimates to indoor environmental conditions (temperature 20-22°C and relative humidity 30-50%) for at least 30 minutes prior to evaluation. The subject's face is visually and tactilely evaluated by a professional scorer, and the forearm is used to assess the Corneometer, SkiCon, and TEWL scores. The subject also completes a self-awareness questionnaire. Day 5 of hospital visit - Day 60 of study:
[0230] After using the product at home for 60 days (as directed), the subject returns to the testing facility. The test item is weighed, and a record sheet is checked for compliance with regulations. The subject also acclimates to indoor environmental conditions (temperature 20-22°C and relative humidity 30-50%) for at least 30 minutes prior to evaluation. A professional scorer visually and tactilely evaluates the subject's face, assesses the Corneometer, SkiCon, and TEWL using the forearm, and performs a VivaScope assessment on the face. The subject also completes a self-awareness questionnaire. Day 6 of hospital visits - Day 90 of the study (final visit):
[0231] After using the product at home for 90 days (as directed), the subjects return to the testing facility.
[0232] The same measurements and tests as those performed during visit 5 were carried out.
[0233] Each subject's participation is considered complete once all evaluations are finished and all record sheets and test materials have been received. Exemplary visual evaluation: Expert visual and tactile grading:
[0234] Visual assessments were performed on the face at baseline, immediately after use (1 hour), and on days 7, 30, 60, and 90. Tactile assessments were also performed on the face at baseline, and on days 7, 30, 60, and 90. The same professional evaluator assessed all subjects throughout the study period according to the following grading scale. The subjects' faces were illuminated by a 60-watt pearl bulb approximately 30 cm from the site. The PCR clinical grading scale that may be used in the study is shown in Figure 3A. Instrumental evaluation: Corneometer
[0235] Moisture measurement is performed using a Corneometer CM825 (Courage and Khazaka, Germany). This instrument relies on the dielectric constant, a physical property of water (which is relatively high and therefore affects the capacitance of a capacitor). Any change in dielectric constant due to fluctuations in skin moisture content changes the capacitance of a precision capacitor within the instrument. These fluctuations are electronically detected by the Corneometer and converted into numerical values.
[0236] Three readings are taken at the test site on the forearm using the corneometer probe attachment, with the corneometer probe attachment pressed against a dry tissue between each evaluation. The subject is in a controlled environment (temperature 20-22°C and relative humidity 30-50%) for at least 15 minutes before any evaluation is performed. If one measurement is greater than ±10 units from the other measurements (outlier), a fourth measurement is taken.
[0237] Measurements are taken at baseline, immediately after use (1 hour), on day 7, day 30, day 60, and day 90. SkiCon
[0238] Skin conductivity is an alternative method for measuring skin moisture, derived from changes in the electrical properties of the stratum corneum (SC). This device can overcome the problems of erroneous or inaccurate readings that occur in capacitance and impedance measurements due to external influences. SkiCon can mitigate these influences by applying a higher frequency of 3.5 MHz to closely spaced electrodes within a probe that maintain an electric field within the skin surface.
[0239] The SkiCon 200EX (IBS co., Hamamatsu, Japan) measures skin conductivity using a fixed high-frequency current of 3.5 MHz. The device displays conductivity readings in microsiemens (μS) in the range of 0 to 1999. All conductivity measurements are displayed after a 3-second reading interval.
[0240] Measurements are taken on the forearm at baseline, immediately after use (1 hour), on day 7, day 30, day 60, and day 90. Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) using Tewameter® probe
[0241] Water evaporation from the skin is a normal part of skin metabolism. However, even a slight impairment of the skin's barrier function increases water loss. Transepidermal water loss can be measured using the Tewameter™300 probe (Courage and Khazaka, Cologne, Germany). This method is an effective way to measure skin barrier function. The amount of water evaporation, i.e., TEWL, is measured in g / m³ based on the diffusion principle in an open chamber. 2 The density gradient is measured as / h. The density gradient is measured indirectly by two sets of sensors in the probe attachment (one set for temperature and the other set for relative humidity). This density gradient is then analyzed by a microprocessor in the instrument.
[0242] Measurements are taken on the forearm at baseline, immediately after use (1 hour), on day 7, day 30, day 60, and day 90. Evaluation of VIVASCOPE(registered trademark) 1500-Collagen:
[0243] The structure and appearance of collagen, as observed using a confocal laser scanning microscope, are determined by the relationships between reticular, coarse, aggregated, and curled collagen fibers, and these change with age. Youthful, healthy skin primarily exhibits fine reticular fibers. With age, the proportion of fine reticular fibers gradually decreases, and in older adults, coarse, aggregated, and curled collagen fibers become dominant. These structural changes are recognizable in confocal images. As skin ages, the collagen network in the dermis becomes increasingly fragmented, characterized by short, less organized fibers that accumulate as degraded collagen fragments. The younger and healthier the skin, the larger, more diffuse, and less fragmented the collagen structure is.
[0244] In Vivascope® evaluations, subjects are placed in a controlled environment (temperature 20-24°C, relative humidity 35-50%) for 30 minutes prior to any evaluation. Measurements are taken at baseline, at day 60, and at day 90 from the crow's feet area at the outer corner of the right eye.
[0245] The test area is captured using VivaCam, allowing for correlation between confocal images and photographic images.
[0246] Collagen structure (i.e., the fragmentation and density of collagen in the papillary layer and superficial dermis) is visualized in vivo using a confocal laser scanning microscope (VIVASCOPE® 1500, VivaScope GmbH, Munich, Germany). This allows visualization of the cellular ultrastructure as optical cross-sections with a horizontal resolution of up to 1.25 μm and a vertical resolution of 3–5 μm, at a maximum depth of 200 μm down to the superficial dermis. Collagen fibers appear as white structures.
[0247] Approximately 40 individual images (500 μm × 500 μm) are acquired using a 5 μm scanning process, and an image stack is created. Only images targeting the collagen network (in the papillary layer and superficial dermis) are analyzed. Baseline images are compared with images acquired on day 60 and separately with images acquired on day 90. Each image is graded by a specialist on a visual analog scale for collagen fragmentation and density. The PCR clinical grading scale used for Vivascope® evaluation of collagen is shown in Figure 3B. Cutometer® measures firmness (R0) / elasticity (R2):
[0248] The viscoelastic properties (elasticity and firmness) of the skin can be measured at baseline, on day 7, and on day 90 using the Cutometer® MPA 580 (Courage and Khazaka, Germany). The measurement principle is based on suction. Negative pressure is created inside the device, and the skin is drawn into the opening of the probe.
[0249] Inside the probe, the penetration depth is measured by a non-contact optical measurement system. This optical measurement system includes a light source and a receiver, as well as two opposing prisms that project light from the transmitter to the receiver. The light intensity changes due to the penetration depth into the skin. Passive stretch measurements are recorded. These measurements can be displayed as a curve at the end of each measurement using Windows®-based software. Measurement mode 1 involves constant suction of 400 mbar for 5 seconds, followed by a 3-second relaxation period, repeated three times. The elastic parameters measured are R2 and R0, which are indicators of firmness, and the average value of the repetitions (e.g., 3 repetitions) is reported. The following R parameters can be calculated using the Cutometer® MPA 580:
[0250] R0: This parameter represents the passive behavior of the skin in response to force.
[0251] R1: The ability of skin to return to its original state.
[0252] R2: Total modulus of elasticity. The closer the value is to 1 (100%), the higher the elasticity of the curve, making it a very important parameter.
[0253] R3: The maximum amplitude of the final suction curve after repeated suction. Since the amplitude increases with each new suction, the "fatigue effect" on the skin is visible.
[0254] R4: The final minimum amplitude compared to the initial curve; the skin's "fatigue effect" is visible because the ability to re-deform decreases with each new suction.
[0255] R5: Net modulus of elasticity; the higher the value, the more elastic the skin.
[0256] R6: The proportion of viscoelasticity in the elastic portion of the curve. A smaller value indicates higher elasticity.
[0257] R7: The ratio of the elastic modulus to a perfect curve; the closer the value is to 1 (100%), the more elastic the skin is.
[0258] R8: Skin recovery. The closer the value is to R0, the greater the skin's ability to return to its original state.
[0259] R9: Represents the fatigue effect on the skin after repeated suction and release. A smaller R9 indicates less fatigue.
[0260] Cutometer® can also be used to calculate other skin parameters, including the F and Q parameters. The F parameters are regional parameters that can only be measured in Mode 1, and some require 10 repetitions in Mode 1. The Q parameter can be measured to evaluate the correlation between skin age and skin viscoelastic recovery. Self-awareness questionnaire:
[0261] Research subjects can be instructed to complete a self-report questionnaire several days after the procedure, for example, on day 1 (immediately after use, up to 1 hour), day 7, day 30, day 60, and day 90. b. Effects of skin preparations on the skin
[0262] A method of treating the skin using the above-described formulation can provide a skin rejuvenation effect and / or improvement of skin condition compared to the skin before step (1), as evaluated by visual inspection after step (1).
[0263] In some cases, this method provides effects such as maintaining healthy skin, repairing damaged skin, enhancing skin repair after cosmetic and / or dermatological procedures, enhancing wound healing, or a combination thereof.
[0264] In yet another example, this method can treat, alleviate, or improve one or more visible signs of skin aging, which may include, but are not limited to, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, roughness, dryness, redness, loss of elasticity, loss of volume, atrophic skin, stretch marks, puffy eyes, dark circles (under the eyes), and combinations thereof.
[0265] Treating, mitigating, or improving signs of skin aging can include delaying, minimizing, and / or preventing visible and / or tactile discontinuities in the skin (e.g., unevenness in skin texture that can be detected visually or tactilely), or improving discontinuities in the skin, for example, reducing, minimizing, and / or eliminating them.
[0266] Certain benefits of using cosmetic skin formulations by the method described (e.g., moisturizing, soothing, calming, firming, smoothing, etc.) may be observed within a few hours (i.e., about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, or 23 hours) to a few days (i.e., about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 days) after topical application of the formulation according to this method. In some cases, it may take several weeks (i.e., about 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks) or at least several months (i.e., about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 months) to observe the benefits (e.g., anti-aging, wrinkle reduction, skin brightening, anti-redness, improvement of atrophy, wound healing, etc.). In certain cases, the skin formulation is applied to the skin at least once or twice a day. However, determining the effective dose of any formulation to achieve the desired effect is within the ordinary state of the art in this field.
[0267] The aforementioned effects can be evaluated using appropriate techniques / methods that are generally known in the field of skincare, as described above.

[Examples]
[0399] Examples Example 1: Study I - RNA microarray analysis of skin formulations in a reconstituted human skin model EPIDERM-FT™ -material and method: - Experimental design Gene expression testing in the EPIDERM-FT (trademark) skin model:
[0400] Human 3D full-thickness skin model EPIDERM-FT® was obtained from MatTek Corp. and acclimatized in vitro in a 6-well plate using standard cell culture conditions (37°C, 5% CO2) on day 1. The tissue was acclimatized for 24 hours and randomly divided into 8 groups (n=3 wells). Each treatment group was tested with either one of the test substances, designated as Samples 1-7, or a placebo test substance (Sample 8). Each test substance (Samples 1-7 and placebo (Sample 8)) was stored at room temperature and handled by a qualified research scientist. The vials were sealed and the preparations were used immediately for treatment.
[0401] The compositions of samples 1 to 8 are listed in Table 1 below. [Table 1]
[0402] WASTAR® Lavender, EXO-T®, UNIREPAIR® T-43, CeramideBio, and SFC were purchased commercially. "Bis-amino" refers to an aqueous formulation containing approximately 20% (by weight / by weight) bis-aminodiglycol dimaleate.
[0403] A placebo was also prepared as a control formulation. The placebo contained deionized water, glycerin, distarch phosphate, ammonium dimethyltaurate acrylate / VP copolymer, SEPIMAX ZEN, SEPINOV WEO, Sesamuls OW, sesame seed oil, malic acid, isononyl isononanoate, caprylic / capric triglyceride, tocopheryl acetate, Fision EcoSoil, and MIKROKILL COS. The placebo did not contain any active ingredients.
[0404] All samples contained the same components as the placebo, and each sample also contained specific activators listed in Table 1 above. For example, sample number 3 contained water, glycerin, distarch phosphate, ammonium dimethyltaurate acrylate / VP copolymer, SEPIMAX ZEN, SEPINOV WEO, Sesamuls OW, sesame seed oil, malic acid, isononyl isononanoate, caprylic / capric triglyceride, tocopheryl acetate, Fision EcoSoil, and MIKROKILL COS, and further contained the active ingredients: WASTAR® lavender, EXO-T®, UNIREPAIR® T-43, SFC, and Gelest XG-2820.
[0405] 200 μL of the test substance was administered topically to the tissue and incubated for 24 hours. After treatment incubation, the test substance was removed and the tissue was washed with PBS. Subsequently, total RNA was extracted from 6 mm biopsy samples and sent to an RNA microarray facility for CLARIOM® S assay for transcriptome analysis. Differential gene expression was compared with that of an untreated control group.
[0406] The conditions for the tissue assay are described in detail below in the research protocol (RNA microarray gene cluster analysis). organization
[0407] EPIDERM-FT® skin tissue was sourced from human neonatal (EFT-400) cells and purchased as a stock insert from MatTek Corp. MatTek's EPIDERM-FT® system consists of normal human-derived epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) and dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) cultured to form a highly differentiated model of the multilayer structure of the human epidermis / dermis. These “ready-to-use” tissues were cultured in serum-free medium on specially prepared cell culture inserts. The tissues were cultured for 24 hours prior to the treatment and administration procedures, then acclimatized, and the tissue populations were identified using appropriate 6-well cell culture plates. All cell culture procedures were performed in a Signum Biosciences laboratory meeting the standards of a Biosafety Level 2 (BL-2) cell culture room. environmental conditions
[0408] The tissue culture incubator was set to a constant flow rate of 5% CO2 by volume, and the temperature and humidity were monitored and controlled to be within the range of 36°C to 38°C and 50% to 65%, respectively. Dosage and frequency of test substance
[0409] The test substance was administered as a single local dose using an appropriately sized plastic dispensing pipette. A fixed dose volume of 200 μL / well was added to each cell culture well and incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the tissue was washed and total RNA was isolated. Expression analysis parameters
[0410] Differential gene expression was analyzed using Thermo-Fisher Scientific Inc.'s Transcriptome Analysis Console (TAC) software (v4.0.1). Data normalization was performed using a placebo control group and the parameters shown in Table 2. [Table 2]
[0411] result:
[0412] The whole RNA samples submitted for gene arrays passed quality control (QC) evaluation for microarray analysis. Whole gene expression profiling was performed on 21,448 well-annotated human genes using the Affymetrix Human Clariom® S array, and the data were visualized using Transcriptome Analysis Console (TAC) software (Thermo-Fisher Scientific, Inc.). Significant expression changes between the effective treatment group and the placebo group were filtered using empirical Bayesian ANOVA with a magnification change of ≥2 (upward control) or ≤-2 (downward control) and a p-value <0.05.
[0413] Table 3 and Figure 1 below summarize the differential gene expression results between each treatment group compared to the placebo control group. Sample number 3 had the highest total number of regulatory genes (multiplier change ≥2 or ≤-2) (736), showing a generally downward regulatory effect (465 genes). Sample number 1 had the second highest number of regulatory genes (309), showing the second highest level of regulation. [Table 3]
[0414] Strengthening the skin barrier function
[0415] In both sample numbers 3 and 4, CERS4 (ceramide synthase 4) was significantly upregulated by 42–67% compared to placebo, suggesting a positive benefit in ceramide production for skin barrier protection. Sample number 1 was the only treatment group to significantly upregulate TJP1 (tight junction protein 1, occlusion zone 1; 108%) and OCLN (occludin; 227%), suggesting a benefit in the formation of tight junctions between cells that restrict the movement of substances across intercellular spaces, efficient epithelial polarization, and / or barrier formation. Although not statistically significant, samples number 1, 3, and 4 upregulated FLG (filaggrin) by 103–171%, suggesting a positive support in epidermal differentiation. Sample number 2 was the only substance that downregulated both PTGS2 (prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 2; 231%) and NFKB1 (kappa light chain polypeptide gene enhancer nuclear factor 1 in B cells; 110%), which are key regulators of common inflammatory mechanisms activated by intracellular and extracellular stimuli that degrade the epidermal barrier. Development of the outer stratum corneum
[0416] Sample 1 significantly upregulated small proline-rich proteins (SPRR2G=631%, SPRR3=726%), which contribute to the formation of the late-differentiated keratinocyte outer membrane beneath the cell membrane. Sample 3 upregulated SPRR4 (small proline-rich protein 4), a cross-linked outer membrane protein of keratinocytes involved in UV-induced keratinization. Although not statistically significant, sample 1 also upregulated LOR (loricrin, 250%), a major protein component of the keratinized cell outer membrane. Outer corneal membrane lipid synthesis
[0417] Sample 3 significantly downregulated UGCG (UDP-glucose ceramide glucosyltransferase; -163%) and FASN (fatty acid synthase; -33%), respectively, which are involved in the de novo biosynthesis of glycosphingolipids and long-chain saturated fatty acids, which are part of the outer keratin membrane in terminal keratinocytes. Samples 1 and 3 were the best materials for upregulating (40-128%) genes of the late outer keratin membrane lipid mechanism (LCE1A, LCE1B, LCE1D, LCE1F, LCE2C, LCE2D, LCE6A). In contrast, samples 5-7 downregulated some of these late outer keratin membrane lipid genes (LCE3E, LCE5A) and therefore had a negative effect on this mechanism. Example 2: Study II - RNA microarray analysis of skin formulations in a reconstituted human skin model EPIDERM-FT™
[0418] material and method: Research details
[0419] Signum Biosciences, Inc. conducted a second study using the same procedure as described in Example 1 and the study protocol below, but with different sample formulations tested. In addition to testing the same placebo as in Example 1, untreated tissue was also tested as a control. RNA samples were sent for microarray assay (see details of the study protocol below). Transcriptome profiling results were obtained one week later.
[0420] Each treatment group was either tested with one of the test substances, designated as sample numbers 1-6, or a placebo test substance, or left untreated. Each test substance (sample numbers 1-6 and placebo) was stored at room temperature and handled by a qualified research scientist. The vials were sealed, and the formulations were used immediately for treatment.
[0421] The compositions of samples 1 through 6 are listed in Table 4 below. [Table 4]
[0422] In addition to samples 1-6 mentioned above, the "untreated" group and the "placebo" group were also evaluated. Samples 1-6 were prepared in the same manner as sample 3 in Example 1 above. A "placebo" sample identical to that described in Example 1 above was also prepared. -result:
[0423] All RNA samples submitted for gene array analysis passed the quality control (QC) evaluation for microarray analysis.
[0424] Table 5 and Figures 2A and 2B below summarize the differential gene expression results between each treatment group compared to the untreated group or the placebo control group. Treatment in sample number 4 showed the highest total number of regulatory genes (multiplier change ≥2 or ≤-2) (822), and was generally an upregulatory substance (457 genes). Sample number 2 regulated the second highest number of total regulatory genes, with 564 genes being regulated. [Table 5]
[0425] Strengthening the skin barrier function
[0426] The placebo group significantly downregulated ceramide synthases 2 and 3 (CERS2 and CERS3) compared to the untreated group. Samples 4, 5, and 6 significantly upregulated CERS5 (ceramide synthase 5) by 74–102% compared to the placebo group. Sample 4 showed the strongest effect (97%), suggesting a positive benefit to ceramide production for skin barrier protection. The placebo group also significantly downregulated TJP1 (tight junction protein 1, occluding zone 1) and occludin (OCLN) compared to the untreated group, but none of the treatments significantly upregulated these genes compared to the placebo group. Although there was no significant difference compared to the placebo group, samples 1, 3, 5, and 6 significantly upregulated FLG (filaggrin) by 32–636%, suggesting a positive support in epidermal differentiation. Compared to the untreated group, placebo upregulated both PTGS2 (prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 2) and NFKB1 (kappa light chain polypeptide gene enhancer nuclear factor 1 in B cells). Sample number 2 downregulated PTGS2 (-20%), a key regulator of common inflammatory mechanisms activated by intracellular and extracellular stimuli that degrade the epidermal barrier, compared to placebo, but NFKB1 was the only substance that did not downregulate it. Development of the outer stratum corneum
[0427] The placebo significantly downregulated small proline-rich protein genes (SPRR2B, SPRR2D, SPRR2E, SPRR2F, SPRR2G, SPRR4) compared to the untreated group. None of the treatments significantly upregulated small proline-rich proteins compared to placebo, however, sample 1 upregulated SPRR2A, SPRR2B, SPRR2D, SPRR2E, SPRR2F, SPRR2G, and SPRR4 by 19–219%, resulting in the formation of the late-differentiated keratinocyte outer membrane beneath the cell membrane. The placebo also significantly downregulated LOR (loricrin) compared to the untreated group. Although not statistically significant, samples 1, 3, 5, and 6 also upregulated LOR by 35–563% compared to placebo, which is a positive effect as loricrin is a major protein component of the keratinized outer membrane. Outer corneal membrane lipid synthesis
[0428] Placebo did not significantly upregulate UGCG (UDP-glucose ceramide glucosyltransferase) or FASN (fatty acid synthase), which are involved in the de novo biosynthesis of glycosphingolipids and long-chain saturated fatty acids, respectively, which are part of the outer keratin membrane in terminal keratinocytes. However, samples 3 and 5 significantly upregulated UGCG by 66–67% compared to placebo. Placebo significantly downregulated all genes in the late outer keratin membrane (LCE) mechanism compared to the untreated group, and none of the sample treatments significantly upregulated LCE mechanism genes compared to placebo, although samples 1–4 showed upregulation of some of these genes (LCE3B, LCE5A). All treatments significantly downregulated some of these late outer keratin membrane genes compared to placebo, thus producing a negative effect on this mechanism.

[0452] n) 50 μL of the elution solution, preheated to approximately 70-80°C, was pipettered to the center of the filter. The tube cap was closed. The eluate was collected by centrifugation at room temperature for approximately 30 seconds (RCF 10,000-14,000 × g). RNA microarray analysis
[0453] RNA samples were submitted to an expression profiling service using the Affymetrix Human CLARIOM® S array (21,448 coding genes). Human gene cluster analysis was performed focusing on well-annotated genes to perform gene-level expression profiling and evaluate changes in major genes and pathways. Differential gene expression was quantified using the CLARIOM® S microarray method after 24-hour incubation with the test material.
[0454] Whole-gene expression profiling from 21,448 well-annotated human genes was analyzed using the Affymetrix Human CLARIOM® S array. Significant expression changes were filtered using a magnification change (>2 (upward control) or <-2 (downward control)) relative to the untreated group. Example 3: Clinical trial of a skin formulation
[0455] This study evaluated the efficacy of a skin formulation, hereafter referred to as "Face Serum," in 40 healthy subjects with all skin types, including very dry / very damaged skin. The subjects' skin was assessed over a 3-month / 90-day period of home use, following the instructions provided to the study participants, using expert visual / tactile grading, a corneometer, TEWL, cutometer, VivaScope, SkiCon, and self-assessment questionnaires. This was a single-center, home-use study. Selection of research subjects: screening:
[0456] Thirty-two women and eight men were enrolled as subjects in this study, and it was expected that at least 30 subjects would complete the study. Subjects met the following inclusion and exclusion criteria, were willing to accept the prohibitions and restrictions, and were given written informed consent.
[0457] The eligibility of each participant was confirmed before acceptance into the study through the completion and review of a study-specific pre-study questionnaire. method:
[0458] The study participants were supplied with ivory soap rinse-off products. The face serum products were certified to be manufactured / formulated using safe and appropriate ingredients for the intended purpose of the product.
[0459] The face serum product contained the following active ingredients: bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, lavandula angustifolia extract, acetyl tyrosine, proline, adenosine triphosphate, cetyl hydroxyproline palmitamide, and N-succinyl-S-farnesyl-L-cysteine. The face serum product also contained additional carriers / additives, including hydrating agents, emollients / skin conditioning agents, emulsifiers / surfactants, thickeners / viscosity modifiers, preservatives / antimicrobial agents, pH adjusters / buffers, chelating agents, natural ingredients, ceramides / lipid barrier components, and solvents / carriers.
[0460] The facial serum product (or test item) was used as supplied, according to the following instructions: After cleansing / toning, apply a generous amount (1-2 pumps) of the product to the face and forearms twice daily (morning and night), before the application of the regular regimen. No other serums / moisturizers should be used. Indicates whether the product was used each day. The product should be used twice daily for 5 consecutive days prior to visit 2, and for 90 days after visit. Research procedure: -Visit to the clinic 1-Rinsing (-5 days):
[0461] Participants who met the registration criteria were provided with a rinse-off product, which they used daily on their face and forearms for five consecutive days prior to their second study visit, in place of their usual facial cleanser. Participants were given a usage log to track their rinsing progress. Participants were instructed not to apply any creams or moisturizers to their face or forearms starting two days before their second visit and throughout the entire study period. They were also instructed to come to each study visit without makeup. Participants were also required to bring their log and rinse-off product to their next visit and to wash their face 2.5 hours prior to their appointment. -Visit 2-Baseline (Day 1 of the study):
[0462] Subjects visited the testing facility, underwent qualification verification, checked their record sheets, and collected rinsed products. Upon acceptance into the study, subjects acclimatized to indoor environmental conditions (temperature 20–22°C and relative humidity 30–50%) for at least 30 minutes prior to evaluation. Baseline measurements were then taken, and expert evaluators visually and tactilely assessed the subjects' faces. Corneometer, SkiCon, and TEWL assessments were performed on the forearm, and VivaScope and Cutometer assessments were conducted on the face.
[0463] After baseline assessment was completed, the test product was applied to the face and forearm, followed by a visual assessment of the face by a specialist, as well as reassessment of the forearm using a corneometer, SkiCon, and TEWL. Participants also completed a Self-Report Questionnaire (SPQ). Subsequently, participants were provided with the product and instructions for use, which they took home and used as directed for the next three months. In addition, participants thoroughly washed their face at least 2.5 hours before each visit. -3rd visit to the hospital-7th day of the study:
[0464] After using the product at home (as instructed) for 7 days, the subjects returned to the testing facility. The weight of the test item was measured, and a record sheet was checked for compliance with the rules. In addition, the subjects also adapted to the indoor environmental conditions as described above during the baseline test (Day 1 of the study), and then a professional evaluator visually and tactilely assessed the subjects' faces, performing Corneometer, SkiCon, and TEWL assessments on the forearms, and Cutometer assessments on the faces. The subjects also completed a self-awareness questionnaire. -4th visit to the hospital-30th day of the study:
[0465] The subjects used the product at home as instructed for 30 days, and then returned to the testing facility. The same measurements and tests were performed as in Visit 3. -5th visit to the hospital-60th day of the study:
[0466] The subjects used the product at home as instructed for 60 days, and then returned to the testing facility.
[0467] The same measurements and tests were performed as in the third visit.
[0468] Furthermore, VivaScope evaluation was performed on the face. -6th visit - 90th day of study (final visit):
[0469] The subjects used the product at home as instructed for 90 days, and then returned to the testing facility.
[0470] The same measurements and tests were performed as in the fifth visit.
[0471] Subject participation was considered complete when all evaluations were finished and all record sheets and test materials were received. Visual evaluation using visual and tactile grading.
[0472] Visual assessments were performed on the face at baseline, immediately after use (1 hour), on day 7, day 30, day 60, and day 90. Tactile assessments were also performed on the face at baseline, on day 7, day 30, day 60, and day 90. The same professional scorer evaluated all subjects throughout the study period according to the following grading scale. The subjects' faces were illuminated by a 60-watt pearl light bulb approximately 30 cm from the area. The PCR clinical grading scale used in this study is shown in Figure 3A. Evaluation using equipment Corneometer
[0473] Moisture content was measured using a Corneometer CM825 (Courage and Khazaka, Germany). This instrument relies on the dielectric constant, a physical property of water (which is relatively high and therefore affects the capacitance of a capacitor). Any change in dielectric constant due to fluctuations in skin moisture content changes the capacitance of a precision capacitor within the instrument. These fluctuations are electronically detected by the Corneometer and converted into numerical values.
[0474] Three readings were taken at the test site on the forearm using the corneometer probe attachment. Between each evaluation, the corneometer probe attachment was pressed against a dry tissue. Subjects were in a controlled environment (temperature 20–22°C and relative humidity 30–50%) for at least 15 minutes before any evaluation was performed. If one measurement was greater than ±10 units from the others (outlier), a fourth measurement was taken. Measurements were taken at baseline, immediately after use (1 hour), on day 7, day 30, day 60, and day 90. SkiCon
[0475] Skin conductivity can be used to measure skin moisture levels, which are derived from changes in the electrical properties of the stratum corneum.
[0476] The SkiCon 200EX (IBS co., Hamamatsu, Japan) measures skin conductivity through the stratum corneum using a fixed high-frequency current of 3.5 MHz. The device displays conductivity readings in microsiemens (μS) in the range of 0 to 1999. All conductivity measurements are displayed after a 3-second reading. Measurements were taken from the forearm at baseline, immediately after use (1 hour), on day 7, day 30, day 60, and day 90. Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) measured by the Tewameter® probe.
[0477] Transepidermal water loss was measured using the Tewameter™300 probe (Courage and Khazaka, Cologne, Germany). Water evaporation, i.e., TEWL, was measured in g / m³ based on the diffusion principle within an open chamber. 2 The density gradient is measured as / h. The density gradient is measured indirectly by two sets of sensors in the probe attachment (one set for temperature and the other set for relative humidity). This density gradient was then analyzed by a microprocessor in the instrument. Measurements were taken from the forearm at baseline, immediately after use (1 hour), on day 7, day 30, day 60, and day 90. Evaluation of VIVASCOPE(registered trademark) 1500-Collagen:
[0478] In Vivascope evaluations, subjects were in a controlled environment (temperature 20–24°C and relative humidity 35–50%) for 30 minutes prior to any evaluation performed. Measurements were taken from the fine wrinkle area of the right outer corner of the eye at baseline, day 60, and day 90.
[0479] The test area was captured using VivaCam, making it possible to correlate confocal images with photographic images.
[0480] Collagen structure (i.e., fragmentation and density of collagen in the papillary layer and superficial dermis) was visualized in vivo using a confocal laser scanning microscope (VIVASCOPE® 1500, VivaScope GmbH, Munich, Germany). This allowed visualization of cellular ultrastructure as optical sections with a maximum horizontal resolution of 1.25 μm and a vertical resolution of 3–5 μm, down to the maximum depth of the superficial dermis (200 μm). Collagen fibers appeared as white structures.
[0481] Individual images (500 μm × 500 μm) were acquired in a 5 μm scanning process (approximately 40 images), and stacked images were created. Only images targeting the collagen network (in the papillary layer and superficial dermis) were analyzed. Images acquired at baseline were compared with images acquired at day 60, and separately with images acquired at day 90. Each image was graded by a professional grader on a visual analog scale for collagen fragmentation and density. The PCR clinical grading scale used for collagen evaluation with Vivascope® is provided in Figure 3B. Cutometer® measures firmness (R0) / elasticity (R2):
[0482] The viscoelastic properties (elasticity and firmness) of the skin were measured at baseline, day 7, and day 90 using a Cutometer® MPA 580 (Courage and Khazaka, Germany).
[0483] Passive stretch measurements were recorded. These measurements were displayed as a curve at the end of each measurement using Windows®-based software.
[0484] Measurement mode 1 involved applying a constant suction of 400 mbar for 5 seconds, followed by a 3-second relaxation period, repeated three times. The measured elastic parameters were R2 and R0, an indicator of tension, and the average value of the three repetitions was reported. Self-awareness questionnaire:
[0485] The study subjects also completed self-awareness questionnaires on day 1 (immediately after use, up to 1 hour), day 7, day 30, day 60, and day 90. Research results:
[0486] Forty subjects participated in the study, and 38 completed it. Two subjects withdrew from the study for personal reasons. The table below provides details of the study subjects. [Table 6]
[0487] No side effects were reported. Although there were some minor differences in the statistical characteristics of the subjects, the study protocol was followed and this did not affect the integrity of the study.
[0488] Conclusion: Visual and tactile grading:
[0489] For all visual grading assessments, a decrease in the average score indicates an improvement in that assessment. Under the conditions of this study, the test items used statistically significantly reduced the average score for all visual grading assessments.
[0490] In an in-treatment analysis of the visual grading scores for moderate / deep facial wrinkles, the mean score showed a statistically significant decrease compared to baseline by day 90 after application. Furthermore, sustained reductions from baseline were observed at 1 hour, 7 days, 30 days, and 60 days, and the mean reduction in wrinkle appearance was statistically significant after using the test product twice daily for 90 days. Therefore, the test product contributed to a reduction in the appearance of moderate / deep wrinkles after 90 days of use.
[0491] Intratreatment analysis of the visual grading scores for facial skin brightness / luminosity showed a statistically significant decrease in the mean score after application compared to baseline. The mean baseline score decreased at 1 hour, 7 days, 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days after application, respectively. Therefore, a statistically significant mean rate of change (improvement in overall brightness and radiance of the skin's appearance) was observed at all time points after 90 days of use, twice daily.
[0492] Intratreatment analysis of the visual grading of facial skin redness also showed a statistically significant decrease in the mean score after application compared to baseline. The mean baseline score decreased at 1 hour, 7 days, 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days after application, respectively. Therefore, after 90 days of use twice daily, a statistically significant mean rate of change (from reduction in skin redness to complete disappearance of redness) was observed at all time points.
[0493] In an intratreatment analysis of visual grading scores for facial skin texture / smoothness, the mean score after application showed a statistically significant decrease compared to baseline. The mean baseline score decreased at 1 hour, 7 days, 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days after application, respectively. Therefore, after 90 days of use twice daily, a statistically significant mean rate of change (improvement in skin texture / smoothness appearance to a smoother, softer, and more uniform-looking skin texture) was observed at all time points.
[0494] Intra-treatment analysis of tactile grading for facial skin texture / smoothness also showed a statistically significant decrease in the mean score after application compared to baseline. The mean baseline score decreased at 1 hour, 7 days, 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days after application, respectively. Therefore, after 90 days of use twice daily, a statistically significant mean rate of change (improvement in skin texture / smoothness to smoother, softer, and more uniform skin texture) was observed at all time points. Corneometer and SkiCon for hydration / moisturizing:
[0495] Under the conditions of this study, the test product statistically significantly improved skin hydration / moisture at all time points, as measured by a corneometer and SkiCon. Intra-treatment analysis showed significant improvements in data from 1 hour, day 7, day 30, day 60, and day 90 compared to baseline readings. In particular, corneometer measurements showed an increase in skin hydration at 1 hour and a change from baseline after 90 days of twice-daily use of the test product. This is consistent with the increase in SkiCon measurements at 1 hour and the change from baseline after 90 days of twice-daily use of the test product. Tewameter for transepidermal water loss (TEWL):
[0496] Under the conditions of this study, the test product also statistically significantly reduced transepidermal water loss at all time points, as measured by Tewameter® (p<0.01). In intratreatment analysis, data from 1 hour, day 7, day 30, day 60, and day 90 were significantly reduced compared to baseline readings. After using the test product twice daily for 90 days, transepidermal water loss gradually decreased (improved barrier function). Cutometer® R0 / R2 for firmness and elasticity:
[0497] Under the conditions of this study, the test product showed statistically significant improvement in skin elasticity as measured by the R2 value using a Cutometer® (p<0.01). Intra-treatment analysis showed significant improvement in data from 1 hour, 7 days, 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days compared to baseline readings. After using the test product twice daily for 90 days, skin elasticity gradually increased.
[0498] Under the conditions of this study, the test product showed a statistically significant effect in improving skin firmness, as measured by the R0 value using a Cutometer®. Intratreatment analysis showed significant improvement in data from 1 hour, 7 days, 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days compared to baseline readings. After using the test product twice daily for 90 days, skin firmness gradually increased. Vivascope (registered trademark) (Visual) - Collagen:
[0499] Data from the visual grading of collagen were obtained from the fine wrinkle area at the outer corner of the right eye. Vivascope® images showed that the test product statistically significantly improved the appearance of collagen, as measured by the visual grading of Vivascope® images (p<0.05). Intra-treatment analysis under the conditions of this study showed that the mean data from days 60 and 90 were statistically significantly reduced compared to baseline reads (p<0.05).
[0500] Self-awareness questionnaire: Subjects completed self-perception questionnaires immediately after the first application of the test product and after 7, 30, 60, and 90 days of use, using the product twice daily. Subjects indicated their degree of agreement or disagreement with descriptions of the test product and their experiences with the test product using a 5-point Likert scale. Based on data from the self-perception questionnaires, the test product elicited either a favorable (>50%) or very favorable (≧80%) response for all questions at all time points.
