Questions and answers

What the research says

• Camellia japonica flower extract protects against urban air pollutant-induced skin damage by scavenging radicals, inhibiting ROS generation, reducing MMP-1 and lipid peroxidation, and increasing collagen synthesis in in vitro and ex vivo models.

  BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2019

• Camellioside A attenuates UVA-induced production of MMP-1 and reverses the suppression of type Iα1 pro-collagen in HaCaT keratinocytes by inhibiting MAPK activation and downstream transcription factor phosphorylation.

  Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine, 2021

• Camellia japonica oil activated the human COL1A2 promoter, induced type I procollagen synthesis, inhibited matrix metalloproteinase-1 activity, and reduced trans-epidermal water loss without inducing adverse reactions in human skin.

  Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2007

• Camellia japonica placenta extract treatment upregulated hair growth marker genes in human follicle dermal papilla cells in vitro and improved scalp moisture, sebum, keratin, and erythema in 42 adult female participants in vivo.

  FEBS Open Bio, 2021

• 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.

  International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001

• Camellia oleifera Abel shell 1,3-butanediol extract decreased facial melanin levels by 59% from baseline at 6 weeks compared to a placebo group showing no effect in 30 female subjects.

  Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019

• Camellia oleifera oil demonstrated excellent moisture retention, anti-inflammatory effects, and free radical scavenging, and its inclusion in an emulsion significantly improved antioxidant and moisturizing properties compared to an emulsion without CO oil.

  Molecules, 2024

• Camellia japonica flower extract and hyperoside activated the FUNDC1-mediated mitochondrial autophagy pathway, ameliorated mitochondrial dysfunction and reactive oxygen species accumulation, alleviated S-phase blockade, and reversed senescence-associated β-galactosidase expression in a doxorubicin-induced senescence model of human skin fibroblasts.

  Antioxidants, 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 1-year clinical study on human facial skin demonstrated that Zingiber officinale (L.) Rose extract inhibits the UV-induced decrease in skin elasticity and prevents or improves wrinkle formation around the eye.

  Archives of Dermatological Research, 2008

• Ginger extract transethosomal hydrogel improved skin permeability, sustained drug release, and exhibited significant inhibition of edema swelling along with reduced reactive oxygen species and prostaglandin E2 compared to free ginger extract hydrogel and ketoprofen gel in a rat-paw edema model.

  International Journal of Nanomedicine, 2023

• Topical delivery of ginger extract-loaded nanoemulsions significantly reduced arthritic symptoms, paw edema inhibition by 27.7%, and inflammatory cytokines in RA-induced rats compared to the negative control.
