Inclusion Criteria

  • Healthy female volunteers between 18 and 30 years
  • With skin type I or skin type II
  • Body Mass Index > 25
  • Non-smokers
  • Volunteers who have given their written informed consent according to Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and local regulations

Exclusion Criteria

  • Any serious disorder that may interfere with her participation to the trial and evaluation of the safety of the test drug (e.g. liver and/or renal disease, hypervitaminosis A, psychic disorder, etc.), and/or treatment with chronic medication
  • Pre-treatment (less than 2 weeks prior to inclusion in this trial) and/or concomitant treatment with any drug that may influence the trial symptomatology and may interfere with evaluation of the safety of the test drug (e.g. vitamins and minerals supplementation)
  • Relevant allergy or known hypersensitivity to the investigational drug or its excipients
  • High performance sports people
  • Alcohol and drug abuse according to Diagnostic and Statistics Manual (DSM-IV)
  • Female volunteers in child-bearing age not using adequate means of birth control (contraceptive pills, intrauterine device (IUDs), sterilization)
  • Pregnancy and/or lactation
  • Known abnormal values of the lab tests (if detected after enrolment, subjects will continue the treatment provided there are no medical objections)
  • Abnormal values of Aspartate Transferase (SGOT/ASAT), Alanine Transferase (SGPT/ALAT)-, Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, Low density Lipoproteins/Triglycerides (LDL/TGL) levels in blood
  • Participation in another clinical trial within the last 4 weeks and concurrent participation in another clinical trial
  • Specific dietary requirements that do not allow the volunteers to meet the dietary guidelines set out for this study
