Tasmannia lanceolata leaf extract alleviates stretch mark appearance in a randomized, placebo‐controlled clinical trial in women and stimulates extracellular matrix synthesis in ex vivo human skin explants
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology Oct 16, 2020
Gaillard E, Boisnic S, Branchet MC, et al. - Researchers conducted this double blind, randomized, placebo‐controlled clinical study to evaluate the effects of Tasmannia lanceolata extract (TLE) on skin and more specifically, on women's stretch marks. This investigation was performed on 29 women, aged from 25 to 60 years, to examine the effects of TLE on stabilized stretch marks. For 8 weeks, TLE and placebo products were topically applied every day. Skin roughness and firmness of stretch marks have been evaluated by 2D and 3D photograph processing and analyses. In the TLE group, skin roughness of stretch marks was significantly reduced after 8 weeks of treatment. After 4 weeks of treatment, skin firmness of stretch marks was significantly increased in the TLE group and this improved effect was sustained until the end of the study. Such findings showed that by restoring the matricial environment, TLE could help enhance the aspect of stabilized stretch marks in women.
