PORE REFINING TESTING
CLR has developed CutiFine CLR (INCI: Water, Vaccaria segetalis (cowherb) extract, Adansonia digitata (baobab) pulp extract) which was designed to address all important cell biological features which make pores more conspicuous. Numerous in vitro studies were performed to address its effectiveness on a cell biological level, based on the above description of the relevant cell biological events. The results of these studies, however, are not shown in this article.
IN VIVO STUDY An in vivo study was performed on 23 female volunteers with moderate to severe presence of conspicuous pores. The test products were an o/w emulsion containing 3% CutiFine CLR and corresponding placebo, which was identical but did not contain CutiFine CLR. The selected volunteers were randomised and applied one of the products (twice daily, morning and night) in each half of the face for 56 days.

At Days 0, 28 and 56, after
acclimatisation, the facial pores were evaluated by 3D image analysis using AEVA-HE V4 system. The volunteers were installed on the VisioTOP-500 bench for accurate and stable
