Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
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.
Secondary outcomes
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
