First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a topical skincare product, Cetaphil Hydrating and Firming Cream, on 32 adults aged 40-60 with mild-to-moderate crepey skin. Participants applied the cream twice daily to knees, thighs, and hands for 12 weeks. Researchers measured changes in skin hydration, firmness, and texture using clinical grading and devices like a Corneometer. The goal was to see if the cream could improve skin condition without irritation.
