Clinical Study 2
OBJECTIVE:
Comparison of epidermal cell proliferation produced by SESHA SKIN THERAPY A.C.E. Cream containing PET™ nutrient delivery system with Retin-A Cream (0.025%) and Oil of Olay Original Beauty Fluid.
PROTOCOL AND STUDY PARAMETERS:
7-day in-vivo study
RESULTS:
The A.C.E Cream significantly thickened the epidermis. The skin is plump and has characteristics of young, healthy skin.
Retin-A 0.025% produced a slight increase of skin cells, but the epidermis is damaged.
Oil of Olay did not show signs of cell proliferation.
CONCLUSION:
Biopsies stained with hematoxylin and eosin at 400x magnification show that A.C.E. Cream is an effective stimulator of epidermal cells.
