Abstract
Background
Skincare cosmetics have long been central to daily facial care routines, while recent years have seen a surge in the popularity of home beauty devices. Consumers increasingly seek more effective and efficient results from their beauty regimens while also expressing concerns about the potential risks of certain beauty procedures. Although various technological devices have been developed to meet these demands, research on the interactions between beauty devices and cosmetic products remains limited.
Methods
This in vivo study was conducted on 60 Chinese women of different ages and skin types. An assessment of the impact of a specific home beauty device, used after a standalone referential and marketed anti-ageing serum, on enhancing facial skin attributes (wrinkles, fine lines, radiance and hydration) was conducted. The device—a nanochip tapping tool with an ultra-fine surface—was evaluated alongside the serum under a half-face protocol. The study compared the efficacy of serum application alone to that achieved with the combined serum-device regimen.
