## What the research says

- Application of 0.1% and 0.05% litchi serum significantly increased skin lightening compared to placebo, while 0.1% litchi serum additionally improved skin elasticity and reduced wrinkles in 29 volunteers over 112 days. ([Annales Pharmaceutiques Francaises, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32089252/))
- Topical application of Dead Sea water encouraged the expression of barrier-related proteins, increased skin secretion of β-endorphin, and attenuated the expression of inflammatory and irritation-related cytokines in in vitro skin equivalents and ex vivo human skin organ culture. ([Experimental Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30903724/))
- Dead Sea water treatment promoted procollagen-1 and elastin secretion, hemidesmosome increase, and epidermal basal cell regeneration in human dermal cells and reconstructed skin models, while activating pathways related to extracellular matrix biosynthesis, DNA repair, and autophagy under normal and UV stress conditions. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38212954/))
- Topical application of an antioxidant serum containing 15% ascorbic acid, 0.5% ferulic acid, and 1% tocopherol prevented particulate matter-induced degradation of extracellular matrix components, inflammation, and oxidative stress in the skin of 15 female volunteers compared to untreated controls. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40642809/))
- Dermatological products containing d-alpha tocopheryl acetate showed non-comedogenic potential with less than a 50% increase in microcomedones in 12 healthy male subjects compared to octyl palmitate. ([Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34471722/))
- Topical application of an antioxidant mix containing 15% ascorbic acid, 0.5% ferulic acid, and 1% tocopherol prevented PM and UV-induced skin barrier perturbation, lipid peroxidation, inflammatory markers, MMP9 activation, and Type I collagen loss in 15 healthy females compared to untreated exposed skin.
