简要总结
The skin, as the largest organ in the human body, plays essential roles in protecting against environmental insults and preventing moisture loss. Aging is an unavoidable biological process that affects all organs, but it becomes particularly noticeable in the skin due to its visibility and exposure to environmental factors10,11. Skin aging results from both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic aging, a natural and inevitable process driven by genetics and internal metabolic activities, manifests gradually as loss of elasticity, fine lines, and changes in texture. Extrinsic aging, on the other hand, arises from environmental influences such as UV radiation, pollution, stress, and lifestyle factors10,12.
Although animal studies have shown promising outcomes, human research on ESM has largely been limited to evaluating its effects on hair, nails, and basic skin hydration. Comprehensive assessments of its influence across multiple skin parameters remain scarce13. To address this gap, the present study examines the safety and efficacy of product in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. The trial will evaluate diverse markers of skin health—including wrinkling, skin elasticity and firmness, skin hydration, skin texture and roughness, blemishes, hyperpigmentation and skin quality.
