Recruiting studies
- NCT05068310Recruiting
Test a high-detail eye-like scan on skin tumors before biopsy
This study tests a high-resolution scan (called OCT) to better see skin tumors before they’re removed or biopsied. It may help doctors evaluate both non-pigmented and pigmented skin spots that look like possible skin cancer.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06869252RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Fat cell therapy for skin and hair concerns
This study uses your own fat cells to improve skin appearance and hair growth. It may help with wrinkles, fine lines, loss of skin firmness, uneven color, scars, or hair thinning and loss.
Lewes, DelawareAges 21–80 - NCT07091604Recruiting
Looking at skin color differences in healthy people and patients
This study looks at natural differences in skin color. Researchers measure skin pigmentation in healthy volunteers and people with skin conditions to better understand variation.
Leiden, LeidenAges 18 years+ - NCT03022773Enrolling by invitation
Eye exam study measuring macular pigment in specific eye disease
This study measures a pigment in the eye and also looks at other body tissues in people who have a specific inherited eye condition called adult vitelliform dystrophy. It may help researchers better understand the disease and how it can be confused with early age-related macular degeneration.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 7 years+ - NCT06074276Recruiting
Almonds for facial skin collagen and wrinkles
This study tests whether eating almonds can improve collagen and reduce wrinkles on your face. If you are between 35 and 70, maintain your usual diet and skincare, and don't have a nut allergy, you may be eligible.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 35–70 - NCT06575270Recruiting
Study of skin color and pulse oximeters in children with heart disease
This trial checks how well pulse oximeters (devices that measure oxygen levels) work in children with congenital heart disease who have different skin colors. It aims to make sure these devices are accurate for all children during heart surgery.
New York, New YorkAges Up to 18 years - NCT07415187Recruiting
Study on skin tone and pulse oximeter accuracy
This study will check if a person's skin tone affects how well a pulse oximeter (the clip on your finger that measures oxygen) works. You may join if you are already scheduled for an arterial blood gas test to compare the readings.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04875715RecruitingPhase 4
Almond oil cream vs hydroquinone for facial dark spots
This trial compares topical almond oil to hydroquinone to see which works better to reduce facial pigmentation (darkness). You may join if you fit certain skin-type and health needs and can follow a schedule of stopping or changing other face products during the study.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06142019Recruiting
Testing pulse oximeters in healthy adults during low oxygen
This study checks how well pulse oximeters (the devices that clip on your finger to measure oxygen levels) work when healthy people breathe lower-oxygen air. It helps make sure these devices are accurate for everyone.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–50 - NCT07173530Recruiting
Low-level light therapy for dry eye & skin pigmentation
This study tests whether low-level light therapy can improve dry eye symptoms caused by blocked oil glands (Meibomian Gland Dysfunction). It also looks at how the treatment affects skin pigmentation under the eyes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06571721Recruiting
Almond oil vs. tretinoin for face wrinkles in certain women
This study compares a topical almond oil cream to tretinoin to see which reduces facial wrinkles better. It is for post-menopausal women with light to medium skin tones who have fine lines and wrinkles.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06868615Recruiting
MIRIA laser for skin conditions

Waltham, MassachusettsAges 18–70 - NCT05408117Recruiting
Compare suture types to reduce skin color changes after surgery
This study looks at whether different types of stitches (sutures) can lower the chance of pigment changes—skin color looking lighter or darker—after dermatology surgery. It may help patients who want to reduce the risk of visible skin color changes as their wound heals.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06655129Recruiting
Intense pulsed light for hair, acne, redness, or spots
This trial tests a light-based device (IPL) to treat unwanted hair, acne, redness (rosacea), or age spots. It may help if you are an adult with one of these skin concerns and have a lighter skin type (not very dark). The treatment is quick and gentle, with little downtime.
