In a release, the Company noted that these studies demonstrate improvement in skin texture and appearance as well as the decrease in fine lines and wrinkles with Striking Skin Care formulations.
"Our SmartPeptides technology found in Striking Skin Care products performed well in clinical evaluation with high consumer appeal," said Dr. Tim Falla, Chief Scientific Officer at Helix BioMedix. "We are delighted with the results of these third-party studies documenting the benefits of SmartPeptides technology for people seeking improved skin texture and hydration. We plan to present the studies at upcoming dermatology conferences, while we wait for publication of the complete study."
The Company said that it is in the process of submitting study synopsis articles for publication in leading peer reviewed journals.
All three studies were conducted by Essex Testing Clinic, Inc (Verona, NJ) over an eight week period with evaluations at baseline, eight hours and at two, four and eight weeks. Evaluations consisted of physician and patient assessments as well as measurements of skin hydration, topography and texture using Corneometer, Visia CR and ImagePro instrumentation.
As described by the Company, summary findings of the studies are as follows:
Serum: In a 32 person study (average age 54) the Striking Skin Care serum produced a statistical improvement in vertical forehead lines with 74 percent of subjects showing improvement. A statistical improvement was also seen in skin texture with 87 percent of subjects showing improvement. Reductions in forehead wrinkles could be seen as early as two weeks in certain individuals.
Eye: A 30 person study (average age 52) documented a statistical reduction in the appearance of crow's feet was seen with 97 percent of subjects showing improvement. From the earliest time point of 8 hours, subjects exhibited a statistical improvement in skin texture and moisturization with 100 percent and 83 percent showing improvement respectively.
Moisturizer: In a 30 person study (average age 51) the Striking Skin Care moisturizer produced a statistical improvement in skin hydration at all time points from 8 hours through 8 weeks with 87 percent of participants showing improvement. Statistical improvement in skin texture was also seen with 87 percent of people showing an improvement; in certain individuals this was apparent after only two weeks.
No irritation or adverse effects were reported throughout these third party studies or in repeat patch test insult studies run in parallel. In all studies statistical significance was taken as p less than or equal to 0.005.
