Implication

Repeated-measures study reveals marked reductions in sensitivity, pores, and wrinkles in women, suggesting combined spicule and acid peeling offers an effective aesthetic skin treatment.

Key Points

To evaluate the effects of sequential combined peeling using spicule and acid ingredients on skin sensitivity, pores, sebum, and wrinkles, as well as participant satisfaction and irritation.
Conducted a single-group repeated-measures study among N=20 women aged 30–60 years in Korea receiving weekly treatments for four consecutive weeks.
Administered an acid peeling product for 5 minutes followed immediately by a spicule product for 15 minutes without prior removal of the first agent.
Assessed facial skin metrics at baseline and after each treatment session using the APM PRO skin analysis system, analyzed via repeated-measures ANOVA.
Skin sensitivity significantly decreased from 25.65 at baseline to 13.25 after the fourth treatment, pore values decreased from 76.45 to 39.70, and wrinkle values declined from 24.00 to 8.05 (all p<.001).
Sebum levels initially increased during early sessions before decreasing and stabilizing across repeated applications (p<.001).
Over 90% of participants reported high satisfaction and an intent to repeat treatment, with adverse responses (erythema, desquamation, pruritus, pain) remaining absent or mild.
