Skin Hydration in Persons With Acne After Dietary Supplementation With Botanical Antioxidants (KIWIBOOSTER)

January 25, 2021 updated by: Zhaoping Li, University of California, Los Angeles

Evaluating the Effect of an Antioxidant Nutraceutical on Skin Health, as Measured by Investigator Global Assessment, Quality-of-Life, and Corneometry, in Persons With Mild to Moderately Severe Facial Acne Vulgaris

Antioxidants have been studied for their abilities to combat reactive oxygen species in a multitude of conditions. This study aims to assess whether the botanical dietary supplement 'Halo Beauty Kiwi Booster' (HBKB), taken orally daily for 8 weeks, can assist with Acne vulgaris as well as skin hydration and quality of life for those with acne.

Study Overview

Status

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The study will be a 2-armed investigational trial with one group receiving botanical dietary supplement and one placebo group provided with the similar supplement vehicle. The trial will be double-blind, randomized, parallel-group study. The investigational group will receive the botanical dietary supplement 'Halo Beauty Kiwi Booster' (HBKB), to be taken orally daily for 8 weeks. Control group participants will receive the HBKB botanical dietary supplement vehicle as a placebo to be taken orally daily for 8 weeks.Participants will have their skin assessed

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Botanical Impact on hydration in those with Acne Vulgaris
Time Frame: 8 weeks
To prospectively appraise changes in stratum corneum hydration levels in persons with Acne Vulgaris (AV) after dietary supplementation with a compilation of botanical antioxidants.
8 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Botanical Impact on Acne Vulgaris
Time Frame: 8 weeks
To prospectively appraise changes in Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) of Facial AV after dietary supplementation with a compilation of botanical antioxidants.Scale is 0-4 (0 - clear and 4 - severe)
8 weeks
Botanical Impact on Quality of Life in those with Acne
