The effect of W Tr-Active to increase skin elasticity was assessed performing specific measure with a cutometer. After 30 days of treatment the product was able to act the R1 parameter (i.e. the ability of the skin to return to its original state) measured by the cutometer. The product is therefore able to increase the elastic properties of the skin (+35 % vs.T0) improving its ability to promptly go back to the original state after a deformation.

Skin thickness (filler effect) W Tr-Active was tested through plicometric measurements in order to assess its ability to increase the skin thickness (filler effect). After 30 days of treatment the product was able to increase thickness of the skin of 0.39 mm. This result confirms that W Tr-Active is able to deliver noticeable and measurable filler effect.

Anti-wrinkles (Visiometer measurement) An instrumental assessment on the ability of W Tr-Active in reducing wrinkles was performed using a skin visiometer. The parameters assessed during the instrumental evaluation were:
• R3: mean depth of roughness
• R4: smoothness depth
• R5: arithmetic average roughness.

The product W Tr-Active was able to perform an anti-wrinkle effect that was already measurable after 2 weeks of treatment with a reduction of the assessed parameters of – 7 / 7 / 10,4 % respectively.
In 30 days of treatment the reduction of wrinkles was further improved to a – 8,2/ 10 /12,8% respectively.Anti-wrinkles anti-eye bags (Clinical score) The wrinkle severity and the degree of the eye bags were evaluated with a clinical examination performed by skilled dermatologists on a standard visual scale.

The wrinkle reduction assessed during the clinical examination confirmed results obtained with the instrumental measurements performed with the skin visiometer. A slight anti-wrinkle effect was already noted after a single week of application of W Tr-Active and after two weeks the reduction was -6%. At the end of the treatment at 30 days the overall wrinkle reduction was - 10 %, confirming the results obtained during the instrumental assessment.

W Tr-Active started improving eye bags after 2 weeks of treatment with a documented reduction of 8%. In 4 weeks, a further 6% was measured for a total improvement of 14%. Examination confirmed the ability of W Tr-Active to act as a multi-functional anti-aging active ingredient.

The effect on skin moisturization that can be delivered by the daily application of W Tr-Active was instrumentally assessed using a corneometer. W Tr-Active increased skin moisturization over 13% in only 24 hours. Measurements performed with instruments and clinical dermatology at 2 and 4 weeks increased 45% and 48% respectively. The results obtained with the instrumental and clinical dermatology.
