Study indicates UK over-the-counter beauty serum may reduce fine wrinkles.

Following a

BBC News

story, the UK's

Times

(4/29, Rose) reported that, according to a

study

published online Apr. 28 in the British Journal of Dermatology, Boots "No. 7 Protect & Perfect beauty serum" has been "clinically proven to reduce fine wrinkles and improve the appearance of weathered skin." For the study, "dermatologists at the University of Manchester carried out a trial on 60 volunteers with signs of sun-damaged skin and found that the cream...could help reduce the most common signs of aging." In fact, "70 percent of people who used the cream for a year had significantly fewer wrinkles compared with volunteers using a placebo." The Times quoted Nina Goad, of the British Association of Dermatologists, as saying, "Approximately one in five people using the cream will get something extra for their money over plain moisturizers."
        "Few over-the-counter 'anti-aging' products have been subjected to a rigorous scientific trial to prove their effectiveness," said study leader Chris Griffiths, a dermatology professor at the University of Manchester, the UK's

Mirror

(4/29) reported.
        According to

Retail Week

(4/29, Creevy), "The study...found the cream stimulated production of fibrillin in the skin. Over a 12-month period, these structural effects in the skin are sustained." The product is now on sale in the United Kingdom and is "priced at £19.75 [approximately $29.24] for 30ml."

Tíðindamaður Húðlæknastöðvarinnar var nýlega staddur í Bretlandi og keypti nokkrar krukkur af kreminu góða á 3 fyrir 2 tilboði. (20 pund fyrir 3 krukkur). Enn er þó of fljótt að segja fyrir um árangurinn, en ef eitthvað er að marka háskólann í Manchester ætti hann ekki að láta á sér standa. Ekki sakar að geta þess að forstöðumaður rannsóknarinnar, prófessor Griffiths var eitt í framhaldsnámi á Landspítalanum hjá Helga Valdimarssyni prófessor í ónæmisfræði.
