Emerging Evidence for the Effectiveness of Profhilo® Figura Body Cream in Enhancing Skin Hydration, Elasticity, and Firmness

Aging generates an undesirable skin appearance, including laxity and a crepe-like appearance. Profhilo® Figura body cream is a multi-active remodelling and firming cream comprising low- and high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acids and Matrixyl® 3000. The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Profhilo® Figura body cream to moisturize and improve skin elasticity and firmness. Women aged 30-65 years, with a tendency for dry skin and mild-to-moderate skin atony (characterized by elasticity loss) applied the body cream daily for 28 days on their leg area. Skin moisturization, elasticity, and firmness were assessed on Day 14 and Day 28 by non-invasive bioengineering instrumental techniques, and skin tolerability was assessed on Day 28. Participants also completed a product satisfaction questionnaire. On Day 28 versus Day 0, there was a significant 42.4% increase in moisturization (P<0.0001), 6.3% increase in overall elasticity (P<0.0001), 8.9% increase in net elasticity (P<0.0001), and 51.6% decrease in protein content (P<0.0001; indicating improved cohesivity and firmness). On Day 28, 96.7% of participants reported smoother and firmer skin, 93.3% reported brighter skin, and increased moisturization and elasticity were reported by all participants. No adverse events occurred during the study.
