Abstract

In this study, a formula (EJ-F101) was prepared to develop a raw material for acne-prone skin improvement using wheat germ extract, and a clinical trial cream was prepared and clinical trials were conducted. As a result of the analysis, when comparing before and after using the product, both the test group and the control group showed significant improvement effects in terms of open comedones, occluded comedones, papules, sebum and oil content in the facial region at 4 weeks after product use, compared to the control group in the test group which showed a more significant improvement effect. As a result of the survey on the efficacy of the product, most items showed higher positive answers in the test product compared to the control product four weeks after the use of the product, and about 43-81% of the study subjects answered positively in the test product, except for the "open surface" item. In addition, for all items related to the usability of the product, about 14-86% of the test group and 38-90% of the control group answered positively at the time point 4 weeks after using the product. As a result of skin safety evaluation, no adverse skin reactions were observed in all subjects of this study. Based on the above results, it is considered that the cream using wheat germ extract is suitable for use on acne-prone skin(non comedogenicity).

본 연구는 밀배아 추출물을 이용하여 여드름성 피부 개선용 원료를 개발하고자 포뮬라 (EJ-F101)를 제작하여 이를 이용하여 임상시험용 크림을 제조하였으며 임상실험 진행하였다. 분석 결과, 제품 사용 전·후 비교 시제품 사용 4주 후 시점에서 시험군과 대조군 모두 안면 부위의 병변 개방면포, 폐쇄면포 구진 피지 및 유분량 항목에 대해 유의한 개선 효과를 보였고, 대조군에 비해 시험군에서 좀 더 유의한 개선 효과를 보였다. 제품의 효능에 대한 설문 결과, 대부분 항목에서 제품 사용 4주 후 시점에서 대조 제품에 비해 시험제품에서 긍정적인 답변이 높게 나타났으며, '개방 면포' 항목을 제외하고 시험제품은 약 43~81%의 연구대상자가 긍정적으로 답변하였다. 또한, 제품의 사용성에 관한 모든 항목에 대해 제품 사용 4주 후 시점에서 시험군은 약 14~86%, 대조군은 약 38~90%의 연구 대상자가 긍정적으로 답변하였다. 피부 안전성 평가 결과, 본 모든 연구대상자에게서 피부 이상반응은 관찰되지 않았다. 위와 같은 결과를 근거로 밀배아 추출물을 이용한 크림은 여드름성 피부에 사용하기 적합(non comedogenicity) 한 것으로 사료된다.
