A Clinical Study on the Improvement of Skin and Living Conditions After Drinking Rosa Roxburghii and Pomegranate Drinks

The main objective of the study is to observe changes in the subjects' skin condition and life status after 8 weeks of drinking rosa roxburghii and pomegranate drinks.

This is a single-center, randomized, single-blind, controlled, 8-week (56-day) clinical study conducted in Chinese healthy women aged 25-45 years old who were offered a rosa roxburghii and pomegranate drink.

The study population is 70 healthy Chinese women aged 25-45 years who report current problems with dryness, roughness, dullness, and lack of elasticity on their face. The subjects will be randomly divided into an experimental group and a control product group of 35 subjects each.

Subjects will be formally enrolled after site assessment and subsequent site visits and test product administration. During the test cycle, subjects in the test group will take Prickly Pear Pomegranate Drink with active ingredients for 8 weeks, while the control product group will not take any test product. In order to avoid the influence of different skincare products on the results, all subjects will be asked to use a basic skincare product with moisturising ingredients only, provided by the sponsor, for the duration of the test. The efficacy of the test products will be verified by comparing the changes in skin condition and lifestyle of the subjects in the experimental group before taking the test products and 4 weeks and 8 weeks after taking the test products, as well as by comparing the differences in skin condition and lifestyle between the experimental group and the control group.
