What the research says

• A topical gel containing chitosan, chlorhexidine, allantoin, and dexpanthenol significantly reduced postoperative pain, trismus, swelling, and analgesic consumption, while improving wound healing after third molar surgery compared to a placebo.

  Medicina Oral, Patologia Oral Y Cirugia Bucal, 2020

• Hydrogel-conditioned nanostructured lipid carriers incorporating carrot extract, marigold extract, and azelaic acid improved antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-acne responses in treated subjects, achieving enhanced skin hydration up to 74% and elasticity up to 90% without adverse effects.

  Materials Science & Engineering. C, Materials for Biological Applications, 2020

• Skin care regimens containing beta-glucan improved hemoglobin index, skin hydration, and transepidermal water loss compared to vehicle control in 20 patients undergoing fractional laser therapy.

  Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021

• Topical beta-carotene provided protection for the human skin of healthy volunteers against IR radiation by acting as a superficial antioxidant, though dermal carotenoid degradation was significantly higher for standard infrared radiator than for water filter infrared irradiation.

  Experimental Dermatology, 2011

• Beta-carotene at low concentrations significantly decreased the major metabolites of arachidonic acid and linoleic acid in human epidermal homogenates and inhibited 13-hydroxy-cis-9, trans-11-octadeca dienoic acid formation by up to 80% compared with the control in a semi-in vivo skin penetration model.

  The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 1996

• Pre-treatment with beta-carotene at 1.5 microM modulated UVA-induced gene regulation in HaCaT human keratinocytes through multiple mechanisms not restricted to singlet oxygen quenching, reducing the effect for 143 genes and enhancing it for 180 out of 568 UVA-regulated genes.

  The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2005

• Alginate hydrogel dressings co-loaded with cinnamon-mediated silver nanoparticles, beta-carotene nanocarriers, and Centella asiatica extract demonstrated antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli over a 24-h period while mitigating silver-induced cytotoxicity and oxidative stress in human keratinocyte cells.

  Gels, 2025

• 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.

  BMC Oral Health, 2019

• 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

• The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol.

  Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020

• Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant.
