Dry skin, older look? small study probes the link
NCT ID NCT07564869
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study checked if skin hydration levels are linked to visible signs of facial aging. Thirty women aged 30 to 60 had their skin moisture measured at seven spots on their face using a special device. Photos were then scored by an expert to see if drier skin matched more aging. The study was purely observational and did not test any treatment.
