Background
Independent Clinical Trial
The objective of this study was to precisely test the tolerability and efficacy of Ao Skincare's PM Serum-Shot with strict clinical-dermatological test criteria. During the clinical trial, skin elasticity (skin strength), skin roughness and digital photographic recording using the VISIA® System were measured and studied over time.
Results
100% had an improvement in Skin Elasticity.
This clinical study, conducted under dermatological supervision, evaluated skin elasticity following product application. Over four weeks, 20 subjects applied the test product to their faces once every evening. An assessment of skin elasticity, performed under clinical-dermatological oversight, revealed a 29% improvement in skin elasticity in the test area.
