RETINOL IN RANDOMIZED PARALLEL CONTROL TRIAL

itamin A is the first vitamin approved by FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in treating wrinkles, fine

lines, changes in micro relief and anti-aging effects. We sought to evaluate the efficiency and tolerability

of treating signs of aging skin like wrinkles, hyperpigmentation’s and uneven surface of the skin using a 0.15%

and 0.3% retinol. Patients at 2 sites (n=20, n=20) applied a novel formulation of retinol respectively 0.15% on

the left and 0.3% on the right, daily to their faces for 2 months. Expert blind evaluation of images (VAS, visual

analogue scale) occurred at week 4 and week 8. Tolerability was assessed throughout the study. Positive results

of the observed pilot study warranted a follow-up study on the higher concentration and other parallel study.

Most participants showed improvement in overall skin condition, which were graded at week 4 and week 8.

Improvements at 56 days were comparable on the left and right side. The pilot study was crucial to evaluate

the effects of two different concentrations in one original formulation to check if concentration in cosmetic

products indicates visible changes in treatment.

Malwina Zasada is attending third year of PhD study at Medical University of Lodz. She is an author of impact factor publications; she

also takes part in national and International conferences. She is a Manager in cosmetic brand where she is responsible for training

and science field, sharing her knowledge about cosmetology and chemistry. She participated in medical studies since bachelor

degree and created new liquid crystal cosmetic formulation, checking if retinol could give the same results in lower concentration

compared to higher in biomimetic cosmetic base.
