An Investigation of a Multi-Function Skincare Product to Improve Aging, Eczema, and Acne Outcomes

Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Acne, Eczema, Skin Aging

In brief

For the skin to function optimally, it needs to be nourished and supplied with the necessary compounds to support health. However, many individuals are deficient in those compounds, leading to negative skin outcomes. Most products on the market today only supply one or two compounds that can benefit skin health. Hemptress has developed a multi-function oil designed to help with outcomes related to acne, aging, and eczema, among others. This twelve-week trial will examine the effectiveness of Hemptress' test product. This study will be a two-group trial with 45 participants per group. One group will focus on understanding the test product's effects on skin aging symptoms. The other group will focus on understanding the test product's effects on acne and eczema. The trial will be hybrid, and the participants will follow the use instructions provided by the research team.
