Efficacy Testing

Ten healthy women applied an oil-in-water emulsion containing 10% Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 Amide (AH8) topically twice per day for 30 days. Emulsion without AH8 was applied to the contralateral side.

Skin topography analysis was performed by obtaining silicon imprints from the lateral preorbital region of each subject.
