Study summary

The Researchers are trying to study a cosmetic skin care product called human platelet extract (HPE) to see if it can be used as a possible treatment for skin anti-aging and skin rejuvenation. They are trying find out the safety and tolerability of topical HPE after multiple doses of topical administration

Persons becoming pregnant during the study will continue to be monitored for the duration of the study or completion of the pregnancy, whichever is longer. Monitoring will include perinatal and neonatal outcome. Any Serious Adverse Events (SAE) associated with pregnancy will be recorded.

Study constraints:

  • No application of products on the experimental area (except the suggested ones), particularly any anti-aging cosmetic products except for sunscreen.
  • No change in hygiene habits
  • No application of any cosmetic moisturizing products on the face or any makeup on face and lips, on the day of study evaluations

  • Experimental
    Human platelet extract (HPE)

    Subjects will follow a standardized twice daily skin care regimen of applying morning and night. Morning skin care routine includes Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser, human platelet extract, and EltaMD UV Daily Broad-Spectrum SPF 40, or Vanicream Lite Lotion. Evening skin care routine includes Vanicream Gentle Facial cleanser, human platelet extract, and EltaMD PM Therapy Facial Moisturizer or Vanicream Lite Lotion

Interventions

  • BiologicalHuman platelet extract (cosmetic product)

    A leukocyte depleted allogeneic product derived from human U.S. sourced pooled apheresed platelets (derived from screened healthy donors). Applied to face twice daily for 12 weeks.

  • OtherVanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser

    A mild cleanser specifically formulated for daily facial use. Applied to face twice daily for 12 weeks

  • OtherEltaMD UV Daily Broad-Spectrum SPF 40

    A daily moisturizer with a lightweight formula that provides broad-spectrum sunscreen protection. EltaMD UV Daily Broad-Spectrum SPF 40 provides powerful protection against the sun's harmful UV rays, as it hydrates and is gentle enough for post-procedure skin. Powered by hyaluronic acid, this face sunscreen plumps the skin with lightweight moisture, while micronized zinc and octinoxate shield skin from UVA/UVB rays to prevent the visible signs of environmentally caused aging. Applied to face once daily for 12 weeks.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Redness Area

    The percentage of participants to experience at least 50% improvement in redness area over baseline. As measured by photodocumentation with the VISIA-CR Generation 5 3D PRIMOS using RBX technology. Redness pixel variation and the cross polarized image were transformed into red images that correlated with hemoglobin absorption/distribution.

    Time frame: baseline, 6 weeks

  2. Change Brown Spot Area

    Photodocumentation with the VISIA-CR Generation 5 3D PRIMOS to assess overall variation in color values specifically pixel variation across defined cosmetic subunits and how rapidly those colors change spatially within it, producing a score from 0 to 1, where 0 is less melanin or brown color and 1 is more melanin or brown color. Lower scores reflect better outcomes.

    Time frame: baseline, 6 weeks

  3. Change in Luminosity

    Luminosity (color intensity) is the measure of the light reflected from the skin surface. Photodocumentation with the VISIA-CR Generation 5 3D PRIMOS to assess overall variation in color values specifically pixel variation across defined cosmetic subunits and how rapidly those colors change spatially within it. Lower values reflect dull and/or uneven skin tones. Higher values reflect radiant and/or even-appearing skin tones.

    Time frame: baseline, 6 weeks

  4. Change in Color Evenness

    Photodocumentation with the VISIA-CR Generation 5 3D PRIMOS to assess overall variation in color values specifically pixel variation across defined cosmetic subunits and how rapidly those colors change spatially within it, producing a score from 0 to 1, where 0 is dull and/or uneven skin tone and 1 is radiant and/or even-appearing skin tone. Higher scores reflect better outcomes.

    Time frame: baseline, 6 weeks

  5. Change in Wrinkles Area

    Photodocumentation with the VISIA-CR Generation 5 3D PRIMOS to assess forehead wrinkles using 3D fringe projection which evaluates static wrinkles and measures the difference in fractional area change

    Time frame: baseline, 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Cosmetic Skin Improvement

    Change measured by the self reported Global Aesthetic Improvement Assessment where subjects grade/rate their improvement as Exceptional/very much improved, Moderate/much improved, Slight, No change or Worse.

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  2. Satisfaction With Topical Cosmetic Treatment

    Number of subjects to self report satisfied or very satisfied with the treatment on the Modified Cosmetic Improvement questionnaire.

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  3. Recommendation of Topical Cosmetic Treatment

    Number of subjects to self report they would recommend the treatment to a friend on the Modified Cosmetic Improvement questionnaire.

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  4. Likelihood of Continuing Topical Cosmetic Treatment

    The number of subjects to self report they are very likely to continue treatment on the Modified Cosmetic Improvement questionnaire.

    Time frame: 6 weeks

  5. Topical Cosmetic Treatment on Self-esteem

    Number of subjects to self report how the cosmetic treatment affected self-esteem positively or negatively on the Modified Cosmetic Improvement questionnaire.

    Time frame: 12 weeks
