Abstract

A comprehensive treatment approach including the use of clinically proven topical skin care formulations, provides optimal antiaging effects. A high-strength skin care regimen* was developed to deliver a combination of more than 35% active benefit ingredients, include the alpha hydroxyl acid, glycolic acid, the polyhydroxy acid gluconolactone, maltobionic acid, N-actyl glucosamine, retinol, peptides, antioxidants, and apple stem cell extract. Significant improvement in all parameters of aging was at week 30, and dermal density continued to increase with continuous usage.

*Regimen – the 4 products used in this study are Skin Active Exfoliating Wash, Matrix Support SPF 20, Cellular Restoration and Intensive Eye Therapy
