Clinical Study for the Evaluation of the Depigmenting Activity of a Cosmetic Product on Spotted Hand Skin
Aim of the study was to evaluate by instrumental measurements the depigmenting activity of a cosmetic treatment for spotted hand skin; in particular it was investigated the synergic activity of an emulsion, with clarifying-antioxidant activity combined with an activator gel, with hydration and keratolytic activity.
Female healthy volunteers aged 45-65 years old, presenting senile lentigo on the hands, were included in the study.
It was also aim of this study to evaluate treatment efficacy and cosmetic acceptability by the volunteers and tolerance both by investigator and volunteers.
研究概览
详细说明
The following instrumental evaluations were performed in basal conditions (T0 - before product use), after 4 (T4) and 8 week-treatment (T8):
- Image analysis with UV flash (Wood's light)
- Photographic recovery
- Skin spots image analysis
- Skin colour evaluation
- Spectrophotometry (skin brightness)
- Optical colorimetry (spots colour)
At the end of the study (T8), each volunteer filled a questionnaire regarding:
- the efficacy of the study product (skin brightness and hydration, spots dimensions and colour intensity - score: very marked; marked; medium; light; absent)
- the cosmetic acceptability of the study product: colour and perfume before and after application, consistency, spreadability, absorption, effect on the skin, greasiness and presence of product residues (score: negative; medium; good; excellent) the product tolerance (score: bad; poor; medium; good; excellent).
At the end of the study the investigator assessed the treatment tolerance considering the possible appearance of related adverse events as bad, poor, medium, good, excellent.

A fixed similar quantity of both emulsion and gel were applied consequentially on the hand twice a day, in the morning and in the evening (preferentially always at the same hour), with a mild massage, until complete absorption, for 8 weeks.

Skin spots image analysis: change from baseline (T2, T4 and T8 vs. T0)
大体时间:after 2, 4 and 8-week-treatment
|
Skin spots area was measured on the pre-selected images performed with or without Wood's lamp.
The measure of skin spots area was performed by means of an image analysis software, with a function called "magic wand".
Based on the colour similarities or on the difference of intensity ranges between the selected pixels (with a specified tolerance interval) the magic wand automatically traced the outline of the spot and measured the selected area (pixel2).

Spectrophotometric evaluation: change from baseline (T2, T4 and T8 vs. T0)
大体时间:after 2, 4 and 8-week-treatment
|
Skin brightness was measured by a visible-UV-IR (λ from 300 to 900 nm) spectrophotometer which uses a tungsten halogen lamp and a deuterium lamp in accordance with CIE (Commission Internationale de l'Eclarage), the main international organisation concerned with colour and colour measurement.
Lamps were switched on 30 minutes before instrument use in order to join a stable emission.
Measurement angle was 90° (position of the probe on the skin) and measured area was 2 mm2; used wavelength range was 380-780 nm corresponds to the visible light spectrum.

Optical colorimetry: change from baseline (T2, T4 and T8 vs. T0)
大体时间:after 2, 4 and 8 week-treatment
|
Measurement of spots colour were performed by a tri-stimulus colorimeter equipped with three special filters to obtain R,G,B values in accordance with CIE (Commission Internationale de l'Eclarage), the main international organisation concerned with colour and colour measurement.
CIE L*a*b* system (CIELAB) is the most complete colour-space specified by the CIE (1976).
It describes all the colours visible to the human eye; the three coordinates of L*a*b* represent the lightness of the colour (L* = 0 yields black and L* = 100 indicates diffuse white; specular white may be higher), its position between red/magenta and green (a*, negative values indicate green while positive values indicate magenta) and its position between yellow and blue (b*, negative values indicate blue and positive values indicate yellow).
