A novel topical cream was developed to address the appearance of aging periorbital skin. The goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of this product (Total Eye® FirmRepair Cream; Colorescience, Inc., Carlsbad, CA) for improving periorbital wrinkles, dryness, laxity, and dark circles.This 8-week open-label trial enrolled subjects 35-65 years old seeking periocular rejuvenation (N = 25; 22 female, 3 male). The product was applied each morning and evening after facial cleansing. Study endpoints were changes in Investigator Clinical Grading and Eye Appearance Assessments, Subject Self-assessment Questionnaires, and tolerability after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment.Among subjects completing the study (n = 23), all (100%) showed some global improvement at Weeks 4 and 8 and almost half (48%) achieved moderate or marked improvement. Improvements were observed for all parameters and were most pronounced for wrinkles, laxity, and dark circles. Improvements for laxity and dryness were significant by Week 4 and for dark circles by Week 8. At Week 8, subjects agreed or strongly agreed that the product made their eyes feel more hydrated (100%), look and feel healthier (95%), and increased confidence in their eye appearance (91%). The product was well-tolerated.Modest number of subjects and open-label study design.Twice-daily Total Eye® FirmRepair Cream improved the overall appearance of the periorbital area. The product was well-tolerated and most treated subjects were satisfied with their results. The product is a viable option for treating periorbital wrinkles and laxity and should be considered a safe and effective skincare option. |
