First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This small pilot study tested whether a cream containing stem cell secretions and licorice root extract could safely improve vaginal laxity (looseness) in women. 18 Malaysian women aged 40-55 used the product for 5 weeks. Researchers measured changes using a questionnaire and a device that checks vaginal pressure. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
