Technol., 2019 Sep;25(5):672-676), where a base makeup product’s influence on H76 was assessed. Twenty-three volunteers (with b* value at t0, verum side < 18.705) were enrolled who applied the formulation containing 3% Galdieria on one side of the face, and on the other side of the face the corresponding placebo formulation (i.e., same formulation without Galdieria) was applied for a total of six weeks, twice daily.
Results After six weeks of treatment, remarkable results could be seen. The effect of the formulation with 3% Galdieria reached 38% of what the base makeup product could only achieve with pigments. The placebo formulation only reached about 8%. These results clearly show how potent Galdieria really is in making skin look youthful and attractive.
Skin radiance and even complexion In the above-described studies it was shown that Galdieria is a powerful ingredient in making skin look younger and more attractive. As asserted in scientific literature, skin radiance is another important feature in these skin traits. In a last novel study, another totally new and innovative way of measuring the real-life effect of Galdieria was chosen. Using naïve assessors, as in the above- described first impressions study, is at least as powerful, if not more so, as utilizing instrumental methods. Pictures, impressions and subjective opinions make consumers judge a cosmetic product to be good or not. This is especially the case when it comes to skin radiance. To determine whether Galdieria can indeed improve the radiance of skin, a study was performed in cooperation with international makeup artists who work in Hollywood productions, television and fashion weeks.
Experts in their field, makeup artists consider PERSONAL CARE June 2025
the appearance of the skin as their working basis, aiming for an even complexion and radiance. Only when their ‘canvas’ is as flawless as can be can they work their wonders, so to speak. It is not difficult to imagine that makeup
artists who are well-established and famous for what they do can be extremely critical about their ‘canvas’. In interviews with them, in the preparation of the actual study, it became clear that one-third of the time that they spend on a person is spent on preparing the skin for the actual application of the makeup products. We asked five makeup artists to judge the
effect of a twice-daily, six-week-treatment with Galdieria on important skin features, not just for them, but the for the average consumer, based on the keywords ‘even’, ‘balance’, ‘youthful’, ‘flawless’ and ‘radiant’. They compared images of 31 volunteers before and after the treatment, with overwhelming results. Interestingly, in extreme contrast with the
purpose of the first impressions study, where the naïve graders were allowed to only look at the pictures for three seconds, in this study, some makeup artists took a total of 45 minutes (i.e. about one and a half minutes per volunteer) to make their assessments. This illustrates their critical and thorough approach to how skin looks.
Results The skin that was treated with 3% Galdieria was judged to be far more even, balanced, youthful, flawless and radiant than the skin that was not treated. The results obtained in this study are in line with all above-described studies, but also clearly show Galdieria’s potency as a cosmetic longevity skin care ingredient.
Conclusion The narrative might possibly be changing, but longevity skin care will always also be about preserving or regaining skin’s youthful look. The
tangible, visible and intuitive result of proper skin care can only be achieved if we understand the essence of the biology of skin ageing. Which cell biological processes are involved in the visible skin ageing process? Although it is merited to consider cellular
senescence in the skin, cellular senescence has its beneficial purposes for the human body. It is therefore more intelligent to understand the processes which, biologically, lie upstream of cellular senescence. Here HMGB1, GATA4 and related p62 and selective autophagy play a central role. Only when a cosmetic active ingredient can balance these can visible skin ageing be arrested and even reversed. Results for the parameters are not shown in this article. In novel and innovative in vivo studies,
Galdieria could show that it improves skin in such an important way that a person’s first impression of people who use a cosmetic product with Galdieria is clearly more favorable. In finding the reason for this, placebo- controlled studies have shown that Galdieria improves skin firmness and elasticity. After 14 days, Galdieria leads to visible
reduction of the visibility of crow’s feet wrinkles. Skin care with Galdieria strongly improves skin tone evenness, reaching a convincing 38% of the effect of a high-end base makeup product. In an expert grading, international makeup artists judged Galdieria to make skin more even, more balanced, more youthful, more flawless, and more radiant. CutiGuard CLR is setting the tone as a
cosmetic active ingredient for maintaining and regaining skin’s youthful and attractive appearance. Its activities on the biology of ageing skin are both recognized instantly, instrumentally and even by international makeup artists. We were thus able to comprehensively demonstrate that CutiGuard CLR makes the skin look visibly younger and more attractive, truly fulfilling our mission: to make a difference for consumers.
