Clinical Study: Improved softness and decrease in skin desquamation
40 women (mean age of 40.5 years) took ceratiq powder 80 mg per day for one month. Corneometry, dermatological evaluation, and self-assessment showed ceratiq to be well-tolerated at this dose, with a trend towards increased skin hydration, including improved skin on the legs (p = 0.15), improved skin softness (p=0.05), and a decrease in skin desquaation (p = 0.06).

Clinical Study: ceratiq enables hydration and wrinkle reduction
64 women (average age 55.8 years old) received either 350 mg of ceratiq oil or the placebo for 12 weeks. In the ceratiq group, wrinkles were significantly and visibly reduced from 8 weeks (p < 0.001), compared to the placebo. The wrinkle reduction was visible for 88% of women after 12 weeks. The results demonstrated that skin was better hydrated after just 4 weeks.
