Effectiveness and Safety of Topical Hyaluronic Acid of Different Molecular Weights in Xerotic Skin Treatment

April 26, 2024 updated by: Parikesit Muhammad, Indonesia University

Effectiveness and Safety Comparison Between Moisturizers Containing Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid, High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid, and Vehicle on Skin Hydration in the Elderly With Xerotic Skin

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare 0,1% topical low molecular weight (7 kDa) hyaluronic acid with 0,1% high molecular weight (1.800 kDa) hyaluronic acid as therapy of xerotic skin in elderly

Detailed Description

This clinical trial is conducted to compare the effectiveness and safety between moisturizers containing 0,1% low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, 0,1% high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, and its vehicle on skin hydration of elderly with xerotic skin. It is designed to answer following questions:

  1. Is the skin capacitance in the elderly after using moisturizers containing low molecular weight hyaluronic acid higher than high molecular weight hyaluronate acid and vehicle?
  2. Is the transepidermal water loss in the elderly after using moisturizers containing high molecular weight hyaluronic acid lower than low molecular weight hyaluronate acid and vehicle?
  3. Is the dry skin score (SRRC) in the elderly after using moisturizers containing low molecular weight hyaluronic acid lower than high molecular weight hyaluronate acid and vehicle?
  4. Is there any difference in occurence of side effect in elderly between the use of moisturizers containing low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, and vehicle?
