Skin serum showdown: which one boosts cell turnover?
NCT ID NCT07154004
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested 5 different serums on 30 healthy Chinese women to see how well they help renew skin cells. Participants applied the serums daily for 21 days, and a dermatologist checked the treated areas under UV light. The goal was simply to measure skin cell renewal, not to treat any disease.
