Questions and answers

What the research says

• A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women.

  Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

• A night cream containing melatonin, carnosine, and Helichrysum italicum extract reduced oxidative stress ex vivo and improved hydration, reduced transepidermal water loss, decreased wrinkles and spots, and lowered skin reactivity in 117 individuals over up to 12 weeks of nightly use.

  Dermatology and Therapy, 2020

• Electrospun poly (vinyl butyral-co-vinyl alcohol-co-vinyl acetate) patches loaded with evening primrose oil applied to the forearm of volunteers for 6 hours increased skin moisture, with pore size, shape, and fiber diameter influencing oil transport.

  Biomaterials Advances, 2022

• Application of creams and emulgels containing immortelle extract and hemp oil increased skin hydration and reduced TEWL in 25 healthy volunteers compared to placebo samples and a non-treated control, with emulgels demonstrating enhanced herbal active delivery and better sensory properties than creams.

  Pharmaceutics, 2021

• Polypropylene non-woven fabric impregnated with H. italicum extract using ethanol as a cosolvent demonstrated significantly greater potential for skin protection compared to other investigated samples on artificially irritated human skin without causing irritation or redness.

  Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2023

• Neryl acetate mediates a large part of Corsican Helichrysum italicum essential oil activity by upregulating genes involved in epidermal differentiation, skin barrier formation, and ceramide synthesis, leading to increased involucrin, total lipids, and ceramides in human skin explant models compared to the essential oil.

  PloS One, 2023

• Topical application of 0.1% hyaluronic acid formulations of different molecular weights led to significant improvements in skin hydration and elasticity, with low-molecular-weight formulations also significantly reducing wrinkle depth in seventy-six female subjects compared to a vehicle control.

  Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011

• Topical application of hyaluronic acid in conjunction with free gingival graft significantly reduced donor site postoperative pain until day 7 compared to normal saline, with no significant differences in graft dimensions or patient satisfaction.

  Clinical Oral Investigations, 2022

• Treatment with a hyaluronic acid-containing mouth rinse or topical gel led to significant lesion reduction, pain relief, and normalization of lesion color in adult patients with minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis, with the gel formulation showing an earlier healing onset at 3 days.

  Drug Delivery and Translational Research, 2019

• Topical application of 10% evening primrose oil (EPO) and Lioxasol creams resulted in increased cell proliferative activity in the skin of female pigs compared to untreated skin, with EPO producing a more pronounced increase in basal layer labelling index and Lioxasol causing a more immediate increase in papillary dermis labelled cells.

  Cell Proliferation, 1997

• Topical application of 5% vitamin C cream significantly improved global clinical scores, increased skin microrelief density, and induced elastic tissue repair in photoaged skin compared to excipient control in healthy female volunteers.

  Experimental Dermatology, 2003
