Brief Summary

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

Aim of the study was to evaluate clinically and by non-invasive instrumental evaluations the "revitalizing" activity of a face cream applied twice a day, morning and evening, for an uninterrupted period of 8 weeks, by healthy female volunteers aged 45-55 years with face ritidosis and women aged 55-65 years not habitual user of antiage-creams.

The study foresaw the comparison within subjects of the study product versus placebo (half face method).

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