Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Aim of this study was to evaluate by clinical, morphometric and non invasive instrumental evaluations the activity of an "anticellulitis" cosmetic product vs a reference product of the market (comparison within subjects), applied once a day, for an uninterrupted period of 4 weeks, on 22 female healthy volunteers with low/moderate oedematous - fibrosclerotic lipodystrophy on the thighs.

It was also aim of the study to evaluate cosmetic acceptability by the volunteers and products efficacy and tolerance both by investigator and volunteers.
