AKOSKY KISS™ Lip Volumizing Clinical Trial

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of AKOSKY KISS™ in volumizing lips and defining the lip contour.

Protocol/Subjects: The study was conducted on 20 female volunteers (aged 18–50) with thin, less plumped lips.

Application: A lip balm formulation containing 2% AKOSKY KISS™ was applied to the lips and lip contour at least twice daily over a 2-month period.

Blue Oléoactif Clinical Evaluation

Objective: To assess the ingredient’s ability to support skin defense and recovery mechanisms following exposure to urban pollution and blue light.

Recovery Support (After Exposure):

  • Supported detoxification marker activity following combined pollution and blue light stress

  • Reduced oxidative stress markers when applied after exposure

Juvenessence

Juvenessence (JUVENESSENCE™ AD) is referred to as "The marine youth essence." It is a natural active ingredient extracted from brown seaweed (Alaria Esculenta).

Function: It is designed to prevent accelerated skin aging by reactivating the metabolism of aging cells and restoring Progerin levels to those observed in young cells. It also focuses on detoxifying cells and improving tonicity and firmness.

INCI Name: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (and) Algae extract.


Description of Relevant Clinical Trials

The efficacy was demonstrated in both an in vivo human volunteer study and in vitro studies on aging cells.


1. In Vivo Study (Visible Benefits in 28 Days)

Objective: To evaluate the ingredient's effect on skin surface, tonicity, and key signs of aging.

Protocol/Subjects: The study was conducted for 28 days, with 20 female volunteers who were approximately 50 years old.

Application: A cream containing 1% JUVENESSENCE was applied twice daily to the crow's feet and cheeks area. Measurements were taken using Cutometry and a Self-evaluation questionnaire.

Results (Measured Efficacy via Cutometry):

• Skin firmness increased by +25%.

• Skin elasticity increased by +20%.

Results (Perceived Efficacy via Self-evaluation):

• Number of wrinkles reduced by -65%.

• Depth of wrinkles reduced by -80%.

• Skin radiance increased by +70%.

• Hydration increased by +85%.

2. In Vitro Studies (Cellular Mode of Action)

Anti-Aging and Metabolism Reactivation:

It was shown to downregulate Progerin production, bringing the level back to the rates observed on young cells, resulting in -79% of Progerin production in a 66-year-old donor.

It demonstrated a metabolism reactivation effect, including an increase in mitochondrial activity (ATP production) by +42% and detoxification by +24%.

Anti-Inflammatory Action:

It regulated aging markers by decreasing pro-inflammatory mediators (IL1, 6, 8, TNFα, IFNγ) by -8% to -21%.

Power Extension [HSB+R]

Power Extension [HSB+R] is a 100% plant-derived active ingredient made from the callus cells of Hibiscus syriacus “Bluebird,” combined with rutin, a naturally occurring bioflavonoid. This plant cell complex is designed to enhance the bioavailability of active molecules within the cell and support optimal cellular function.

Function: It is intended to fight skin aging by stimulating cellular metabolism reduced by aging and slowing oxidative stress.

INCI Name: Hibiscus Syriacus Callus Extract (and) Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil.

Composition: A plant cell complex enriched with bioactive compounds and rutin to support cellular energy and antioxidant defense. It helps to:

• Reinforce proteasome activity (cellular detox and protein recycling)

• Boost cellular respiration and ATP synthesis

• Reduce oxidative stress and free radical formation

• Support overall skin vitality and wrinkle reduction

Power Extension [HSB+R] Clinical Trial

Objective: To evaluate the anti-wrinkle and anti-aging efficacy of Power Extension [HSB+R], particularly on crow’s feet.
