Instant beauty drinks in powder sticks

Laboratoire PYC, the leading developer of instant beauty drinks in powder sticks , has enhanced its range of nutricosmetics following a new clinical study. The results validate the anti-blemish, unifying and lightening properties of its Pearl My Skin? formula.

Based on highly concentrated and clinically proven active ingredients and the use of natural flavours, Pearl My Skin? formula has been developed with the aim of improving the radiance and uniformity of the skin’s complexion by helping to reduce dark spots. Its effectiveness and consumer usage have recently been validated in a clinical study.

The study was conducted on a group of 26 Caucasian and Asian women aged from 26 to 50 who took two sticks a day for two months. Pearl My Skin? sticks come in powder form, to which water is added to make an apple-flavoured drink containing vitamins, Pycnogenol? French maritime pine bark extract and pomegranate extract.

The study demonstrated that there was a significant increase in skin radiance and brightness among the Caucasian women. These results were obtained by sensory assessment (using a panel of experts). The improvement was 16% after 28 days and 23% after 56 days.

As regards the Asian women, the study showed a noticeable and significant lightening effect - using colorimetric measurement (spectrophotometer) - on 78% of the subjects. An anti-blemish effect was noted after 28 days of using Pearl My Skin?. The two groups of users as a whole rated their skin more uniform (61%) and more radiant (61%).

The outcome of the trial confirmed the earlier studies conducted on the ingredient Pycnogenol? that had produced interesting results on the size and colour intensity of dark spots on Asian women. Laboratoire PYC was keen to continue the initial work to meet the huge demand from Asian consumers for skin-lightening solutions. Pearl My Skin? has the distinction of being a non-aggressive formula made from natural ingredients that is without side effects.

After two months, 65% of the women considered that they were satisfied with the product. Laboratoire PYC recommends taking the formula for three months, as is the case for most beauty nutritional supplements.

The study also revealed additional effects, such as more velvety-looking skin for 94% of the Caucasian women and noticeably less oily skin for the Asian group (by sensory assessment). 61% of the users also found that they had softer skin.

Finally, the study also aimed to find out whether women were willing to use an instant powder stick to improve the beauty of their skin. The results showed that 84% of the women were satisfied with the powder stick form.

Pearl My Skin? is one of the five nutricosmetic nutritional supplements in stick form that Laboratoire PYC will exhibit at the Cosmoprof trade show in Hong Kong this November. The range also includes an anti-aging, collagen-based dietary supplement; an anti-imperfection formula; an anti-cellulite formula (launched in May in Europe); and a skin-moisturising drink madeNike Air Max 97
