Effect of Helix aspersa extract on the regeneration of light-damaged and sensitive skin

• Published in: Applied Sciences (2024)

Study conducted at: Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin

✨ Study Summary:

The aim of the study was to evaluate the regenerative potential of highly purified snail extract (Helix aspersa), applied to skin showing signs of photoaging using various methods—including microneedling and mesotherapy.

Key Findings:

• Increased thickness of collagen fibers in the dermis, indicating reinforcement and renewal of skin structure
• Significant activation of regenerative cell markers such as Ki-67 and PCNA, which promote epidermal cell renewal
• Elevated activity of the enzyme MMP-2, suggesting tissue remodeling
• Improved epidermal structure after three months of application, including smoothing and unifying of the skin surface

Conclusion:

A 98% pure Helix aspersa extract demonstrates significant regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging effects, making it especially suitable for the care of sensitive, irritated, or photo-damaged skin.

The study confirms its ability to support natural cell regeneration and improve both the appearance and health of the skin.
