RESULTS:
• Crow’s feet
The three-dimensional profilometric examination makes it possible to obtain a
detailed representation in relief of the skin surface. A silicone impression
is first taken, to obtain a “negative” of the area under study, from
which a hard resin counter-impression is then made. This counter-impression,
which is the image in “positive” relief of the skin site, is analysed
in full detail by the profilometer’s microstylus.
The mean depth of the wrinkles (Md) can thus be measured.
These four illustrations
show the change in an area of crow’s feet between the commencement and end of
the trial, in two Group CG subjects. The degrees of relief, illustrated by the
different colours, are clearly less at the end of treatment, as is indicated by the
Md values on D0 and D42.
The two groups, C and CG, were homogeneous when taken into the study. The changes
between the initial and final consultations show a significant reduction in Md in
Group CG, compared with Group C.
The mean reduction in Group CG was
–8.16%, but was as high as –44% in some people.
These results provide objective evidence of the effect that IN BEAUTY Skin
Nutrition capsules have on wrinkles, since the cream used on its own has
no action against wrinkles.

• Profilometry of the back of the left hand
The group using cream + IN BEAUTY Skin Nutrition capsules
showed an improvement in skin surface between the beginning and end of the trial.
• Moisturising
% increase in moisturising of the
“face” site between D 0 and D 42 Facial skin moisturising (the area
where the cream was applied) was improved in both moisturising groups, the
statistical significance being higher in Group CG (+10.85%).
Mean moisturising measurement of the “forearm” site for the
cream + capsules group. While it did not change significantly in Group C,
forearm moisturising improved by 6% on average in Group CG.
Mean moisturising measurement of the “leg” site for the cream + capsules group.
Here again, Group CG experienced a more significant improvement in moisturising, on average 9%.
In all, improvement in moisturising for the whole of the body was more marked in Group CG.
It is thus logical to attribute this result to IN BEAUTY Skin Nutrition
capsules.
• Qualitative Results
A questionnaire handed to each member of
Group CG at the end of the trial made it possible to assess how pleasant it was to use
the IN BEAUTY Skin Nutrition capsules as a supplement to the reference
cream. The members were asked to award scores to certain items on a scale of 0 to 20.

|
Moisturising of the face and body, and skin comfort, were judged “very satisfactory”,
with mean scores of 16 and 15.5 respectively; skin suppleness was also judged “very
satisfactory”, with an average of 16/20. Capsule tolerance was “very
satisfactory” (15.5/20) and skin tolerance of the combination IN BEAUTY Skin
Nutrition Capsules + Cream was even rated “excellent” (17/20). Overall
satisfaction was “very satisfactory”, as was the feeling that IN BEAUTY Skin
Nutrition capsules had a good effect on the skin (both 16/20 on average).
Another questionnaire was used to evaluate satisfaction against a scale. As these diagrams
show, the satisfaction index was highly positive and the beneficial action on the skin of
IN BEAUTY Skin Nutrition capsules was confirmed by a majority of women
taking part.

CONCLUSION:
The efficacy of IN BEAUTY Skin Nutrition capsules used to
complement a cosmetic cream has thus been amply demonstrated. Their reducing
action on wrinkles and their moisturising effect on the skin all over the
body has been conclusively measured, and was greatly appreciated by the women
taking part in this trial.
These results are supported by quality criteria, for which
IN BEAUTY Skin Nutrition capsules gained maximum approval.
Highest votes went to their favourable incidence on skin comfort, suppleness,
softness and complexion.
IN BEAUTY Skin Nutrition thus acts like a real “Internal
Cosmetic”, providing the skin naturally with all the elements essential
for better balance. The capsules do not act on the face.
