Questions and answers

What the research says

• An anti-acne hydrogel containing Aloe barbadensis, Garcinia mangostana, and Camellia sinensis extracts showed superior antiacne and antiblotch activities compared to 1% clindamycin gel in sixty subjects with mild-moderate acne.

  Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2019

• Houttuynia cordata extract containing hyperoside and quercitrin protected human HaCaT keratinocytes from UVB-induced cell damage, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation by modulating MAPKs and Akt signaling pathways.

  Antioxidants, 2022

• A hyperoside-enriched fraction of Houttuynia cordata Thunb. inhibited UVB-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and collagen degradation in human dermal fibroblasts by regulating the MAPK signaling pathway.

  Plants, 2021

• Topical low-dose green tea extract reduces UVB-induced p53 expression and apoptosis in human skin keratinocytes compared to placebo.

  Experimental Dermatology, 2009

• Fermented Houttuynia cordata extracts reduced oxidative stress, inflammation factors, and inflammatory gene expression while increasing keratin-1 gene expression in H2O2 and UVA-treated human skin keratinocytes more effectively than unfermented extracts.

  Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2023

• Prunus mume ripened seed extract protects against ultraviolet-induced skin aging in mice and human HaCaT cells by increasing SIRT1 and collagen levels while decreasing MMP-1, MMP-13, and ROS generation compared to untreated ultraviolet-exposed controls.

  Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2021

• The novel compound FA-1 isolated from Prunus mume protects human bronchial epithelial cells and keratinocytes from cigarette smoke extract-induced DNA damage and apoptosis by reducing oxidative stress and augmenting ALDH isozymes and DNA repair proteins.

  Scientific Reports, 2018

• Mung bean sprout aqueous extracts demonstrated excellent antioxidant properties with DPPH radical scavenging rates above 85% and chelation abilities approaching 80%, alongside demonstrated safety in red blood cell, CAM, and human skin patch tests.

  Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2014

• A combination of five-colored plants (mung bean, white truffle, black truffle, chrysanthemum, and Lycium barbarum) at 0.5% concentration improved fibroblast wound healing by 59.89%, reduced cellular senescence markers by 76.32%, and increased epidermal thickness and collagen levels in an ex vivo skin model compared to a negative control.

  Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2025

• Phenolic extracts and compounds from mung bean hull protected HaCaT and HSF cells against H2O2-induced damage and aging, with the ethyl acetate extract, isovitexin, and vitexin providing the greatest protection by modulating oxidative stress and autophagy.

  The Science of the Total Environment, 2022

• Sodium cocoyl isethionate micelles are too large to penetrate stratum corneum aqueous pores, resulting in significant steric hindrance that prevents skin barrier perturbation and explains its skin mildness.

  Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2007

• 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.
