Social Skin for Acne
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new skincare treatment called Social Skin to determine its effectiveness in improving acne symptoms and repairing skin. Researchers aim to find out if Social Skin, which contains natural extracts such as peppermint and willow bark, outperforms a placebo (a treatment with no active ingredients). The trial targets healthy adults with visible facial acne who are willing to adhere to the study guidelines and maintain their current skincare routines. As an unphased trial, participants can contribute to groundbreaking research in skincare innovation.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial requires you to maintain your current medications as much as possible, but you cannot use any that might impact the study's safety or effectiveness. Check with the study team to see if your medications are allowed.
Is there any evidence suggesting that Social Skin is likely to be safe for humans?
Research shows that the main ingredient in Social Skin, ProRenew Complex CLR, is generally safe. This ingredient comes from a type of bacteria known as Lactococcus lactis and is fermented to produce a substance that helps maintain skin balance and protection.
Studies on ProRenew Complex CLR indicate it is well-tolerated, with no major side effects reported in the available data. This suggests it is likely safe for skin use, with a low risk of side effects. However, as with any new product, a small chance of minor skin irritation or an allergic reaction exists, so monitoring skin response is important.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Unlike most acne treatments that often rely on antibiotics or retinoids, Social Skin uses a unique formula that includes ProRenew Complex CLRTM, which incorporates Lactococcus ferment lysate. This ingredient is derived from beneficial bacteria, L. lactis, and is combined with natural extracts like peppermint, willow bark, and lentil seed. Researchers are excited about Social Skin because it offers a novel approach to acne treatment by potentially supporting the skin's natural renewal process and reducing inflammation without the harsh side effects often associated with traditional acne medications.
What evidence suggests that Social Skin might be an effective treatment for acne?
Research shows that Social Skin, the investigational product in this trial containing ProRenew Complex CLRTM, may help treat acne. Studies have demonstrated that this complex improves the skin's protective barrier and renews the skin's surface, which is important for reducing acne symptoms. Another study found that similar postbiotic treatments led to noticeable reductions in acne spots. Over 24 weeks, this treatment also reduced scarring more effectively than a placebo. Overall, these findings suggest that Social Skin could effectively improve acne symptoms and skin health.678910

Placebo Group
The investigational product in this study contains ProRenew Complex CLRTM, which is a three-step skin regime targeting acne comprised of Lactococcus ferment lysate, derived from L. lactis, in addition to peppermint, willow bark, and lentil seed extracts. Apply the 3 study products in the morning and at night before bed. The participants will be required to maintain their application times throughout the study duration. Application of the study products covering the face and neck will occur in a step-wise fashion (Step 1, Step 2, Step 3) for 30 days.
