Résumé
Multiple effective treatments exist for correction of skin photoaging. Topical L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is a well-known anti-oxidant and topical human platelet extract (HPE), a novel off-the-shelf cosmetic ingredient has shown positive results in recent clinical studies. HPE is a leukocyte-depleted allogeneic product derived from U.S.-sourced, pooled, apheresed platelets produced with consistent batch quality, purity, and effect. The authors sought to characterize the effect of topical HPE (plated ) Intense Serum (Rion Aesthetics, Rochester, MN) compared to vitamin C (C E Ferulic® with 15% L-Ascorbic Acid, SkinCeuticals, L'Oréal, Paris) in skin rejuvenation of dorsal hands after 12 to 26-weeks twice daily use. This prospective, longitudinal study sought to compare the effectiveness of two known treatments for skin rejuvenation. Evaluations at baseline, 6, 12, and 26 weeks included photo documentation to assess common skin concerns related to aging. For age-related skin appearance on the dorsal hands, topical HPE was non-inferior to topical vitamin C for improvement in brown spot fractional area, wrinkle fractional area, and improvement in luminosity at 12 weeks after twice-daily topical use. HPE performed as well as vitamin C to rejuvenate the skin on the dorsal hands after 12 to 26 weeks of twice daily topical use. Both topical serums may yield similar or superior results than invasive procedures, such as intense pulsed light (IPL), in reducing brown spots on the dorsal hands. These topical products work equally well in both sexes. Skin improvements lasted through 6 months.

OBJECTIVE
The authors sought to characterize the effect of topical HPE (plated ) Intense Serum (Rion Aesthetics, Rochester, MN) compared to vitamin C (C E Ferulic® with 15% L-Ascorbic Acid, SkinCeuticals, L'Oréal, Paris) in skin rejuvenation of dorsal hands after 12 to 26-weeks twice daily use.
METHODS
METHODS
This prospective, longitudinal study sought to compare the effectiveness of two known treatments for skin rejuvenation. Evaluations at baseline, 6, 12, and 26 weeks included photo documentation to assess common skin concerns related to aging.
RESULTS
RESULTS
For age-related skin appearance on the dorsal hands, topical HPE was non-inferior to topical vitamin C for improvement in brown spot fractional area, wrinkle fractional area, and improvement in luminosity at 12 weeks after twice-daily topical use.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
HPE performed as well as vitamin C to rejuvenate the skin on the dorsal hands after 12 to 26 weeks of twice daily topical use. Both topical serums may yield similar or superior results than invasive procedures, such as intense pulsed light (IPL), in reducing brown spots on the dorsal hands. These topical products work equally well in both sexes. Skin improvements lasted through 6 months.
