What changed measurably on the skin of ten volunteers?
The Centro di Cosmetologia of the Università di Ferrara assessed a day cream with instruments, applied twice a day for 60 days. It measured the instantaneous elasticity of the skin and transepidermal water loss at the start and at the end. The report is for internal use, so we publish the description of the study, not the figures.
