This study examined the effectiveness of micro-current stimulation (MCS) to improve the facial skin qualities by performing clinical test. The MCS is generally known that provide healing response in the damaged tissue and pain relief through activating the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and protein synthesis. In here, we can hypothesize that the improvement of facial skin qualities may occur due to MCS, since the induction of micro-current from outside may enhance the cellular activity according to ATP activation. From the clinical test, our results showed that a variety of evaluating categories, which is able to assess the skin qualities, significantly enhanced due to stimulation of micro-current after 7 and 14 days. Therefore, we can estimate that MCS in human facial skin may be effective to improve the skin qualities.

Objectives : This study was planned to examine the enhancing effect of Coptidis Rhizoma mask pack on water, oil contents and skin texture, and to check the possibility of commercialization. Methods : We measured the change of water, oil contents and skin texture before and after the use of Coptidis Rhizoma mask pack. Measuring was conducted twice at an interval of ten days using accurate SK-03 skin analyzer. Measuring site was right and left SI18 and CV24 acupoints. Results : We can examine the improvement of water, oil contents and skin texture on every acupoints measured, except for CV24. On CV24, no difference was observed from water contents of both 1st, 2nd visit, and skin texture of 1st visit. Conclusions : We could confirm the boosting effect of Coptidis Rhizoma mask pack on water, oil contents and skin texture, especially around the SI18 acupoints. We should take follow-up measures to improve the absorption of a liquid herbal medicine around the CV24 acupoint, and heighten the potential for commercialization.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to confirm the effect of alleviating inflammation through creating skin fat barrier from Scutellaria baicalensis extract. Methods Four-week-old Balb/C mice were divided into four groups: control group (Ctrl), lipid barrier eliminated group (LBEG), dexamethasone (DM) treated group after lipid barrier elimination (DMTG), and Scutellaria baicalensis (SB) treated group after lipid barrier elimination (SBTG). Scutellaria baicalensis extract were administered for 5 days after removal of the fat barrier. Changes in skin condition, improvement of the fat barrier, and relief of inflammation were observed in each group. Results Compared to LBEG and DMTG, pathological skin damage and tissue changes were less in SBTG, and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and pH were also significantly reduced. Filaggrin was also significantly increased in SBTG. KLK7, PAR-2, and TSLP in SBTG also showed significant reduction compared to the LBEG and DMTG. Conclusions Scutellaria baicalensis extract restores skin barrier and relieves inflammation through the creation of skin fat barrier. This means that the Scutellaria baicalensis extract can regulate Th2 differentiation through the creation of the epithelial fat barrier.

콜라겐 펩타이드(collagen peptide)는 단백질의 가수 분해물로서 주름 완화, 보습력 증대, 탄력 개선 등의 특정 피부 효능을 나타낼 수 있어 화장품 혹은 피부 개선 기능식품으로서 활용되고 있다. ${\gamma}-aminobutyric$ acid (GABA)는 척추 동물의 뇌, 척수에 존재하는 신경전달 물질로서 수면의 질과 양을 개선해 준다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 콜라겐 펩타이드와 GABA의 복합물이 수면 장애가 있는 여성에게 8주 경구 섭취를 통해서 수면 및 피부 상태를 개선할 수 있는가에 관하여 확인하였다. 복합물(J85091900)은 8주간 연속적으로 섭취 시, 수면장애지수(PSQI)가 유의적으로 감소하였으며, 수면 시간을 7% 증가시켰다. 또한, 피부 거칠기, 눈가 주름 및 피부 수분량(capacitance)을 유의적으로 개선하였다. 이상의 결과에서 콜라겐과 GABA의 복합물은 복합 수면 장애에 따른 피부의 노화 현상으로부터 피부를 보호할 수 있음을 확인하여 먹는 화장품의 핵심 소재로 활용 가능함을 확인하였다.

피부과 시술 후 피부 상태는 정상인과는 다른 피부 상태로 변화하게 된다. 시술과정에서 레이저와 같은 빛이 피부를 통과함에 따라 피부 홍반과 관계되는 화학적인 인자들이 활성화될 것이다. 이로 인해 피부에 건조함, 가려움, 벗겨짐 등이 발생할 수 있다. 비비크림의 본래의 목적은 메이크업 제품이라기보다는 민감한 피부에 스킨케어 기능을 제공해주는 제품이다. 일반적으로 사용되는 비비크림은 모든 피부 타입에 적합하며 특히 민감하고 여드름이 발생하기 쉬운 피부를 가진 사람들을 타깃으로 하고 있다. 그것은 피부상태를 개선해주는 스킨케어의 기능과 홍반이나 결점들을 효과적으로 커버해주는 메이크업 기능을 동시에 구현해주는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 민감한 피부를 효과적으로 진정 및 홍반 개선을 해주는 스킨케어 기능과 홍반을 컬러적인 측면에서 자연스럽게 커버해주는 메이크업 기능을 갖는 제품에 대한 연구를 통해 피부과 시술 후 진정 및 홍반 개선 효과를 갖는 메이크업 제품을 개발하였다.

Several studies have demonstrated that ginseng-berry extract has several beneficial properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and vasodilation properties. Ginseng-berry extract has also been shown to have the great potential against skin aging. Its beneficial mechanism against skin aging, however, has not been examined in detail. Also, the effects of ginseng-berry extract on microcirculation and skin cellular responses have not been investigated. Inhibition of skin microcirculation is the primary cause of many adverse biological effects, which is responsible for the skin aging and darkening. We investigated the beneficial effects of ginseng-berry extract on blood circulation, transcutaneous oxygen pressure in vivo model and also on skin microcirculation, cellular response and skin brightening effect in clinical trial. We found that oral administration of ginseng-berry extract markedly increased blood flow rate and transcutaneous $O_2$ pressure, but decreased transcutaneous $CO_2$ pressure. Also, it improved skin tone on cheeks, as is skin brighteness. These results suggest that ginseng-berry extract is a potent candidate for the treatment of skin aging and brightening by improving skin microcirculation.

본 연구에서는 락토바실러스 람노서스(Lactobacillus rhamnosus) J2K-821 균주로부터 한외여과를 통해 엑소좀을 분리하고, 피부에 대한 여러 효능을 평가했다. 나노입자추적분석 결과 3.22 × 10⁸ particles/mL 농도의 크기가 50 ~ 200 nm인 락토바실러스 람노서스 유래 엑소좀(LRDEs)을 확인하였다. 염증 완화 효과를 검증하기 위해 LRDEs를 lipopolysaccharide (LPS)로 염증반응을 유도시킨 RAW 264.7 대식세포에서의 nitric oxide (NO) 생성 저해능을 확인한 결과, 농도 의존적으로 NO 생성을 저해하였다. 그리고 항산화 및 피부 장벽 개선 효능을 평가하기 위해 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) 라디칼 소거 활성, hyaluronidase 억제 활성을 확인한 결과, 농도 의존적으로 항산화 및 hyaluronidase 억제 활성이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 이를 통하여 LRDEs는 항염증, 항산화 및 피부 장벽 개선에 효과적인 천연 화장품 소재로 사용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

In this paper, we present the improvement in low moisturizing ability and stability that existing skin softeners have due to the low oil content, by developing skin softener using nanoemulsion of phospholipid liposome, based on the properties of nanoemulsion in cosmetic formulation. In this study, two types of oil; dimethicone (DC 200/6cs) or medium chain triglyceride (MCT), and two kinds of lecithin; unsaturated or saturated were respectively applied to produce nanoemulsion. In the particle size analysis of nanoemulsion, the droplet size of nanoemulsion containing DC200/6cs and unsaturated lecithin was the smallest, and all nanoemulsion showed high stability in the measurement of zeta potential. Therefore, with the smallest particle size and high stability, moisture contents and trans epidermal water loss(TEWL) were measured using the skin softener of DC200/6cs and unsaturated lecithin contained nanoemulsion, and the measurement was compared with the non-oil skin softener and the skin softener with only small amount of oil. The results showed that the moisture content of the skin softener using nanoemulsion increased greatly than other two skin softeners, showing high hydration ability and water retention capacity, and TEWL decreased greatly, therefore preventing the evaporation of moisture from the skin. As a result, the oil content and stability of the skin softener was improved by utilizing nanoemulson based of phospholipid liposome, and it is expected to be used in various ways in cosmetic industry.

피부의 상태는 얼굴부위별로 차이가 있다. 본 연구에서는 안면피부를 9부위로 구획화하여 수분, 유분, 건조감, 각질량, 거칠음 등의 특성을 기준으로 부위별 피부 관리 후 개선효과를 확인하였다. 20~35세 여성 98명을 대상으로 지각하는 피부의 특성을 부위별로 선택하여 순서대로 나열하고 가장 강하게 느끼는 부위에 가중치를 두어 분석하고 그 결과를 토대로 부위별 보습 관리를 시행하였다. 가장 건조감을 느끼는 부위는 입가와 눈가, 각질량이 가장 많은 곳과 거친 곳은 턱으로 나타났다. 또 부위별 관리 후 특정 부위 및 안면 전체 수분량의 유의한 증가를 보였고(p<.05), 90.5%의 건조감 해소에 대한 만족도를 나타냈다. 이상의 결과로 안면 부위별 관리는 뷰티 디바이스 또는 안면 마스크팩 응용 개발에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.
