A new study published in Cosmetics revisits previous research comparing the effectiveness of two competing topical body formulations, SkinMedica’s Firm and Tone Body Lotion (FTB) and Alastin’s TransFORM Body Treatment. The study, titled “A Re-Examination of a Previous Study Relating to Topical Body Formulations: Validating Gene Expression Transcription at Multiple Time Points, and Protein Expression and Translation in an Ex Vivo Model,” aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of how these products influence gene expression, protein translation, and skin health over time. Conducted on an ex vivo human skin model exposed to photodamage, this study offered insights that may have significant implications for cosmetics and personal care manufacturers. The findings challenge earlier conclusions, offering a nuanced perspective on the formulation strategies of skin care products, particularly those designed for body treatment and skin rejuvenation.
This was achieved by analyzing the expression of genes and proteins involved in skin barrier function, inflammation, and wound healing. The study found that gene and protein expression patterns differed significantly between healthy and diseased skin. This difference was particularly pronounced in the early stages of disease development.
This is because Alastin’s TransFORM formulation utilizes a unique combination of ingredients that work synergistically to address multiple skin concerns. The study found that TransFORM’s unique combination of ingredients resulted in a significant reduction in wrinkles, improved skin texture, and enhanced skin hydration. Furthermore, the study demonstrated that TransFORM’s benefits were sustained over time, even after repeated use.
This approach, known as the “bio-ageing” strategy, emphasizes the maintenance of healthy skin and overall well-being. The study’s findings highlight the importance of prioritizing long-term health over quick fixes. It suggests that focusing on building a strong foundation for healthy aging, rather than chasing temporary solutions, can lead to more sustainable and lasting results.
The report reveals that consumer demand for natural, organic, and sustainable products is on the rise. This trend is driven by increasing awareness about environmental and health concerns, along with a desire for transparency in product sourcing and manufacturing processes. Consumers are increasingly seeking products that align with their values and beliefs.
The study found that consumers are increasingly demanding products that offer both immediate and long-term benefits. This trend is driven by a desire for convenience and efficiency, as well as a growing awareness of the impact of products on their health and well-being. Consumers are willing to pay a premium for products that offer both immediate and long-term benefits, demonstrating a shift in consumer behavior.

This study aims to validate previous findings about topical body formulations. The study utilizes an ex vivo model, which involves analyzing gene expression in skin cells taken from human donors. The researchers will compare gene expression profiles of skin cells exposed to different topical body formulations. This approach allows for a deeper understanding of the impact of these formulations on the skin.
