ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at the effectiveness and safety of a special skincare serum and cream designed to reduce facial wrinkles and signs of aging. The researchers want to find out if using these products together can help improve the appearance of aging skin. To do this, they will evaluate the results through various methods, including questionnaires, photographs, and skin imaging, while also monitoring for any side effects.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 18 and 50 years old and have mild to moderate signs of skin aging, such as some wrinkles or dryness. You should be in good health and willing to avoid sun exposure and certain skincare products during the trial. If you’re a woman who could become pregnant, you will also need to use birth control throughout the study. Participants will have to apply the products as instructed and attend regular check-ins. It's important to know that the study is not yet recruiting, so you will need to wait for it to start if you're interested.
