Azelaic Acid 15% Foam a Possible Treatment for Papulopustular Rosacea
Bayer HealthCare announced positive results from a Phase III
trial that evaluated a 15% foam formulation of its compound azelaic
acid (AzA) for the topical treatment of inflammatory papules
and pustules of rosacea. An AzA foam formulation is a potential
treatment option to complement the currently available AzA gel
formulation. Papulopustular rosacea is a skin disease causing inflammatory
lesions (papules and pustules) as well as erythema
(redness) on the nose, cheeks, chin and forehead.
After evaluating safety and tolerability, the overall frequency
of adverse events (AEs) was 31% in the AzA 15% foam group
and 25% in the vehicle group. The vast majority of AEs in
both groups were mild to moderate. In the AzA 15% foam
group, no severe drug-related and no serious drug-related
AEs were reported. Overall, less than 2% of subjects discontinued
treatment due to an AE, the frequency being slightly
lower in the AzA 15% foam group. Detailed results of the trial
will be presented at upcoming scientific meetings.
Exuviance Super Retinol Concentrate Unveiled
NeoStrata Company, Inc., the creator of the original Glycolic
Acid peel, enthusiastically unveils the next major innovation
in antiaging skincare– Exuviance Super Retinol Concentrate.
The unique breakthrough formula goes beyond diminishing
wrinkles, specifically created to defy gravity for superior, visible
lifting and firming results.
The brand's patented NeoGlucosamine® is clinically proven to
work synergistically with Retinol, super-charging and intensifying
the ingredient's volumizing effects versus Retinol alone to
lift and firm skin. A time-released microencapsulation delivers
pure Retinol, maximizing potency and benefits, while minimizing
irritation potential.
The high-performance ingredients in this formulation help
build natural collagen and its surrounding support matrix to
lift, firm and smooth wrinkles from the inside out while also increasing
cellular renewal, refining texture and diminishing the
appearance of age spots.
