Skin study that checks gene changes in young and older adults
Part of Skin clinical trials.

This trial tests whether a type of laser treatment can help protect older adults’ skin from turning actinic keratosis (a sun-related precancer) into more serious skin problems. It focuses on the forearms and may help reduce future skin damage while checking safety and comfort.
This study tests whether a specific sunscreen can reduce signs of skin aging on the face more than your normal routine. If you have moderate to advanced signs of aging and want to see if a new sunscreen can help, this might be for you.
This study compares how well your skin repairs DNA damage in people who mainly work day shifts versus night shifts. It may help researchers understand whether shift work affects skin health and how the skin responds over time.
This study uses a device to take detailed images of the skin. It aims to help doctors better understand skin conditions. Most people with healthy skin may be able to join.
This trial looks at certain markers in the skin of people with sun damage. It tests how your skin reacts to a small amount of simulated sunlight, and may help understand skin cancer risk.
This study uses a special camera to look at the deeper layers of facial skin in Chinese women of different ages. It aims to understand normal aging changes in healthy skin, which may help with future skincare research.
