92%, 88.5%, 96%. In clinical studies, women who tried individual COSMEDICINE™ products strongly agreed: their skin was firmer, softer, better hydrated, more radiant, and revitalized. They saw reductions in lines and wrinkles, and improvements in skin discolorations. And in most instances, three out of four panelists said they would recommend COSMEDICINE™ to a friend. Many skincare companies would be satisfied with results like that. But not the formulators of COSMEDICINE™.
They are much more impressed by numbers like these: 32%, 41%, and 22%. Why? Because those numbers represent the true statistical changes that objective science measured on skin. The numbers may appear low compared to traditional beauty results - but they reflect a very high (and new) standard.
"Sensory" tests, which are the cosmetic industry standard, tell you only what improvements women "saw," "felt" or "reported," those results are called subjective opinions.
Johns Hopkins Medicine consulted on the design of aesthetic medical centers developed by Klinger Advanced Aesthetics and also designed the testing program for Klinger's Cosmedicine's products. In return for its consulting services, Johns Hopkins Medicine receives fees from Klinger Advanced Aesthetics, the formulator of Cosmedicine products.
The Protocol
The formulators of Cosmedicine™ met with chemists, researchers, and leading dermatologists in order to understand the realistic range of product attributes and "claims" that could reasonably be made.
The objective was to develop a regimen of OTC skincare products that would:
- Help insure the healthiest possible skin when used as part of a regular twice daily regimen of care
- Improve the appearance of aesthetic-related issues
- Always provide the absolute truth in measured efficacy/safety claims
- Be formulated for highly sensitive skin
- Be of the highest purity and quality
• The quality and guidelines of its product claims testing are of the highest caliber: well beyond cosmetic industry standards and more closely mirroring that of stringent drug testing claims.
The testing extended over a 12-week period, depending on the nature of the product. Subjects were "measured" for the specific parameters before the use of single products and then again over various periods of time (one hour, eight hours, four weeks, eight weeks, and 12 weeks) to assess the change in skin parameter status.
COSMEDICINE™ products were not tested on animals.
- The results were measured on both a quantitative and qualitative basis:
- Quantitative: instrumentation
- Qualitative: self-evaluation and visual assessment
Comprehensive safety testing, inclusive of
- Hypoallergenic
- Noncomedogenic
- Acnegenic
- Ophthalmologist
