About this trial
The study intends to evaluate the skin longevity through mitochondria protection efficacy of cosmetic products after 3 months of product application, under UV exposures or not, followed by skin biopsies.
Primary objective:
\- To assess the efficacy of the investigational active in skin mitochondria protection, after twelve weeks of product application with or without UV stress, by morphological and texture parameters measurements
Secondary objectives:
* To assess efficacy on other biomarkers of skin mitochondria with biopsies histological analyses * To assess efficacy by skin colorimetric measurements * To assess efficacy by visual scoring of skin pigmentation and erythema * To assess efficacy by skin untargeted full proteomic analysis * To assess efficacy by skin metabolomic analysis
Safety: to follow the Adverse Events all along the study
