Skin properties are influenced by a variety of internal or external factors. This study was conducted to investigate and compare the skin characteristics in Asian women. We evaluated values of skin physical parameters, and then assessed the correlations among the parameters, and regional differences in 1,500 Asian subjects in seven countries (Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, India, China, and South Korea). The values of transepidermal water loss (TEWL), pH, skin hydration, sebum content, skin sensitivity, elasticity, crow's feet wrinkles, and skin brightness were measured. New Delhi's women were observed to have a lower level of hydration in stratum corneum, sebum content, stinging scores, and darker skin color than others. Furthermore, their skin surface pH on all sites is the highest among seven countries. Vietnamese had the lowest pH values in skin surface. Korean and Chinese had generally higher elasticity and fewer wrinkles. Both the skin hydration and TEWL had positive correlations with the stinging test, and there was a negative correlation between wrinkles and stinging test. These results represent that there was no clear trend related to the area or region. Skin physical parameters should be studied along with understanding of regional differences and various factors (skin care habits, lifestyle and personal sensitivity).

This study was conducted to investigate anti-photoaging effects of collagen hydrolysate containing collagen tripeptides (CTP) in both HaCaT cells and SKH-1 hairless mice. CTP treatment was nontoxic to HaCaT cells and improved expression of biomarkers associated with aging of skin, such as, collagen 1A, metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, and MMP-13 after subjecting mice to ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation. In animal studies, the depth and width of wrinkles in the skin of mice were determined upon subjecting them to UVB irradiation. However, positive effects on wrinkles on the skin of mice were seen following CTP supplementation. Collagen content and density of mouse skin were restored following CTP supplementation for 14 weeks after UVB irradiation. These results were based on the effects of CTP on protein levels of collagen 1A, MMP-1, and MMP-13. Therefore, CTP might have positive effects on the number, depth, and width of wrinkles caused by UVB irradiation in SKH-1 hairless mice.

In this study, 20 middle-aged women aged from 35 to 55 were studied from October 12, 2020 to November 15, 2020 to find out the effects of improvement of facial skin of Jinyeosoo Clean Mist. Among the 20 participants, 10 were divided into experimental group and 10 control group. The Janus facial skin scope system (PSI Co.) used on the skin to measure pore, wrinkles, elasticity, UV pigmentation, and skin tone observed depending the difference in light sources. The facial examination took place 10 minutes after cleansing to stabilize and a total of 4 examinations were carried out after every week of using Jinyeosoo Clean Mist for 4 weeks. For statistical processing, SPSS statistics program 21.0 was utilized to compare the mean averages of pre-experimental and post-experimental data from the above two groups - the experimental group that used Jinyeosoo Clean Mist (hydrogen ion mist) 1 and 2 and the control group that did not use the subject products - and the corresponding sample t-test was used. As a result of the analysis, the group that used Jinyeosoo Clean Mist showed difference in pores (t=3.280, p<.05), wrinkles (t=4.353, p<.01) and elasticity (t=3.003, p<.05), skin tone(t=3.280, p<.01) under the statistical significance level.

Since the lips are a representative facial part that can express human attraction, aesthetic interest in them has always existed in human history. However, as lips age, they tend to form wrinkles, become thinner, and lose their volume. To counteract this phenomenon, medical procedures such as fillers or fat transplantation have been suggested. In this study, we verified that the one of main effective material complex of L G H&H L IPCERIN^®, combination of cedrol, a sesquiterpene found in cedarwood, and three peptides (acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl tetrapeptide-9, and desamidocollagen) could ameliorate the photo-aging and reduce the wrinkles through in vitro experiments. The possibility of improving collagen and elastin expression in skin fibroblasts and reducing MMP expression under photoaging conditions was verified. In addition, it was confirmed that the amount of fat tissue in the lips can be increased by promoting adipose stem cell differentiation and increasing the amount of fat produced in the in vitro adipose stem cell differentiation experiment. Two weeks of human application tests confirmed that a combination of cedrol and peptides can improve the wrinkles, texture, elasticity, and volume of the lips. This study verified that the combination of cedrol and three peptides can be used as effective cosmetic materials to decrease the various signs of aging in the lips.

Among the common textile fibers, wool has excellent wrinkle recovery. However, absorbed moisture plasticizes the structure and increases the rate of stress relaxation during wear deformation. Therefore, the wrinkle recovery of wool deteriorates under very high-humidity conditions and is of particular concern in men's lightweight suits, where the trend is toward wool fabrics of lightweight and bright color in which the wrinkles are emphasized.

Three-ply walled microcapsules containing furosemide and reserpine were prepared from multiple emulsion, and the the appearance of multiple emulsion, the particle size distribution and the drug contents of microcapsules were studied. The microcapsule consisted of alternating three layer of acacia/ethyl cellulose/acacia, and the surface of microcapsules was not porous but wrinkles and had relatively elaborate structure and the particle size range is $4{\mu}m$ to $64{\mu}m$.

This study of 50's women using the Automatic Micro-needle Therapy System(AMTS) aging skin to evaluate the impact. In addition, AMTS is supplied to the EGF since the 50's women increased moisture and elasticity, pigmentation and wrinkles around the eyes to get a positive effect on the reduction of viewing purposes. In this study, 35 people who are middle-aged women October 7, 2013 from December 15, 2013 made a total of 70 days. AMTS study only the use of increased moisture(<.01) and elasticity(<.001), pigmentation(<.01) and wrinkles(<.001) were decreased. In addition, when applying active ingredients EGF better results. Thus to facilitate the regeneration of the active component, such as EGF, if used together to further increase the positive effect considered.

As the recent announcement of the functional cosmetics law, the need of studies on efficacy evaluation of skin related cosmetics and medical supplies has grown. Especially to identify skin improvement, we have to compare the exact parts of the skin, however up to now it is compared only by image matching that is appeared to the human eye. This study proposes the automatical image matching system for improving the accuracy of evaluation a skin improvement. Firstly we define the feature of the skin pores and wrinkles, and extract anticipation region from skin images. And then, we calculate moments for each extracted regions and classify them as pores and wrinkles. After that, we calculate the vector by computing centroids between each regions. Through this process, we compare the vector similarities and perform the matching between existing image and reference image. To verify the efficiency of the algorithm several experiments are conducted.

This study was to suggest the method for wrinkle improvement using Mugil cephalus extract. In order to evaluate the cosmetic product made of M. cephalus extract, the experiments were conducted with subjects and skin states for 4 weeks. Effect of cosmetics containing M. cephalus extract on the water holding capacity and evaporation of the women skin were investigated. The water holding capacity was increased after 1 h of application. But after 2 h, it was decreased. In the case of the water evaporation, it was increased with the increase of time. On the clinical trial, it was also found that water, oil, and rough level on the women skin were increased and wrinkles were improved. Side effects were also not detected during the application and treatment of cosmetics. Based on this result, the application of M. cephalus extract had positive effects on the improvement of wrinkles and skin in women. Therefore, it will be used to develop the wrinkle improvement therapy for women.
