Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in Facial Skin Barrier Integrity Measured by Tewameter After 3 Months of Supplementation

The primary objective of this study is to assess the effects of 2 concentrations of collagen-derived peptides, compared to a placebo, on facial skin barrier integrity using a Tewameter, after three months of daily supplementation in women with dry and sensitive skin.

Time frame
from baseline until the end of treatment at T3 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Skin Barrier Integrity, Hydration on the Face and Leg measured with Ph meter and Corneometer

The secondary objectives are to assess the effects of both concentrations on: \- skin barrier integrity at two anatomical sites (on the face and leg) using the PH meter; \_ Hydration using the corneometer

Time frame
From the baseline until the end of the treatment at T3 Months
