  Current Drug Metabolism, 2010

• Honokiol protects HaCat keratinocytes and HFF-1 fibroblasts against cigarette smoke-induced inflammation, collagenolysis, apoptosis, and senescence by reducing IL-1α, IL-8, apoptosis, and senescence β-galactosidase expression, and restoring TIMP-2 production.

  International Journal of Dermatology, 2017

• Magnolia ovovata extract and its active component magnolol prevented skin photoaging via inhibition of NF-kappaB nuclear translocation and dependent transcription in mice skin and cells.

  Lasers in Medical Science, 2025

• A skin barrier restoring cream with shea butter, silkflo, and vitamin E increased type I procollagen synthesis, enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity, decreased reactive oxygen species generation, and promoted hyaluronic acid production in H2O2-stimulated human keratinocyte cells compared to untreated cells.

  International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 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.
