简要总结
Skin moisture is critical to avoid long-term skin damage. Without the necessary moisture, skin is unlikely to have the properties most commonly associated with healthy skin. Recent research has recently highlighted that rambutan extract, niacinamide, and glycoin can all help promote skin moisture and health. To help people experience better skin health, Thu Brulé has developed a serum designed to be used twice daily. Specifically, the test product in this trial was designed to help moisturize the skin and help lock in that moisture. The purpose of this trial is to examine the efficacy of the test product across an eight-week hybrid trial. The outcomes of interest include participants' perceptions of skin health and photographs/images taken of the skin.

结局指标
主要结局
Perceived changes in skin health
时间窗: Week 8
Survey based assessment of participants perceived skin health. Data was collected using a textual 5-point Likert scale for each question, such as "Not noticeable" to "severe." Symptom-related questions were conducted at baseline and each check-in. The textual Likert data was transformed into numerical values of 1-6, with 6 representing the most beneficial response (i.e, "not noticeable" response to the question, "how would you rate the severity of your wrinkles") and 1 representing the least favorable/worse outcome ("severe").
Changes in skin health via VISIA® imaging
时间窗: Baseline to Week 8
VISIA® Skin Analysis system will be used to assess changes in skin outcomes. Analysis will be conducted by a board-certified dermatologist at Baseline and Week 8. The VISIA® Skin Analysis system will be used to capture the images which will then be processed by the VISIA software. The software utilizes advanced algorithms to detect and measure specific skin attributes. The skin attributes/parameters evaluated will be Wrinkles, Spots, Pores, Texture, Redness and UV Damage. These parameters are evaluated using the captured images and the specialized algorithms employed by the VISIA software. The results are then used to generate a comprehensive analysis report, which includes both the quantitative measurements and qualitative assessments, along with any corresponding scores or ratings assigned to different skin attributes. Mean participant's scores for each parameter will be calculated at Baseline and Week 8 and compared for statistical significance.
