Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Social Skin

The investigational product in this study contains ProRenew Complex CLRTM, which is a three-step skin regime targeting acne comprised of Lactococcus ferment lysate, derived from L. lactis, in addition to peppermint, willow bark, and lentil seed extracts. Apply the 3 study products in the morning and at night before bed. The participants will be required to maintain their application times throughout the study duration. Application of the study products covering the face and neck will occur in a step-wise fashion (Step 1, Step 2, Step 3) for 30 days.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Social Skin

Intervention Type OTHER

The participants will be required to maintain their application times throughout the study duration. Application of the study products covering the face and neck will occur in a step-wise fashion (Step 1, Step 2, Step 3) for 30 days.
