Table3Overall, despite the study limitations that include small number of subjects and short time of follow-up, the product demonstrated a good clinical efficacy and safety profile in improving facial skin quality. To this end, a larger scale study is underway, with more subjects and longer follow-up, to assess more clinical endpoints and evaluate the full effect of the topical on rhytides and fine lines.Thus, in the context of a general skincare program that includes sunscreen, fillers, neurotoxins, and energy-based devices, Hydropeptide® Nimni Cream can be used daily for preventing, fighting signs of aging and improving skin quality in the face.
