A daily capsule that could turn back the clock on facial aging?
NCT ID NCT07790237
First seen Aug 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are testing whether a daily 60 mg dose of Dermial, a dietary supplement, can improve skin glow, hydration, and other signs of facial aging in healthy women aged 35 to 65. Over 12 weeks, half the participants will take Dermial and half will take a placebo, with neither they nor the researchers knowing who gets which. The main goal is to measure changes in facial skin gloss at the eye area, with additional checks on other facial zones. The trial aims to see if this supplement offers a safe, simple way to support skin radiance and reduce age-related changes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Dermial, a dietary supplement taken as one 60 mg capsule per day
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple daily supplement that helps healthy women improve skin glow, hydration, and reduce visible signs of facial aging.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with a modest number of participants, and results may not apply to everyone. The supplement may also cause unexpected side effects, though it is a dietary product.
