Results

At 8 weeks, the skin moisture content was significantly higher on the temple in the test food group than in the placebo food group. The test food group also exhibited a significant increase in skin moisture content on the arm at 8 and 12 weeks compared with baseline. At 12 weeks, wrinkle and texture scores were significantly better in the test food group than in the placebo food group, and plasma ergothioneine (EGT) concentrations in the test food group were 4.7-fold higher than baseline.

Baseline Characteristics

Healthy women aged 20 to 64 years who are aware of dry or rough skin.

Participant flow

Baseline (test food group 40, placebo food group 40)
8 weeks (test food group 38, placebo food group 39)
12 weeks (test food group 39, placebo food group 38)

Adverse events

Throughout the trial, 24 mild adverse events were reported (11 and 13 in the test food and placebo food groups, respectively). The principal investigator determined that none of these mild adverse events were related to the intake of either the test food or placebo food. No significant changes were observed in blood biochemistry analyses at 12 weeks.

Outcome measures

Transcutaneous moisture-evaporating capacity (left temple, and left forearm inside (2P)), and stratum corneum moisture-binding capacity (left temple, and left forearm inside (2P)), VISIA TM Evolution (blotch, wrinkle, pores, color irregularity, hiding blotch), Blood ergothioneine
