Protecting skin cells with a new active ingredient
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a skincare active ingredient designed to protect the energy-producing parts of your skin cells (called mitochondria). It aims to see if the ingredient can help your skin stay healthier, and it involves taking tiny skin samples from your back to measure the effect.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a woman between 35 and 45 years old.
- Your skin type must be Fitzpatrick type III (this means you have light to medium skin that may tan lightly).
- The skin on your back must be even in color, without freckles, moles, or other marks in the test areas.
- You need to be using reliable birth control if you are able to become pregnant, or not be sexually active.
- You must be willing to undergo four tiny skin punch biopsies on your back as part of the study.
- In the past 3 months, you should not have used tanning beds or had heavy sun exposure on your back.

This study tests a topical product to see if it improves the balance of bacteria on your skin and helps with sensitivity and early signs of aging. If you qualify, you'd use the study product for 14 weeks and have your skin swabbed to check for changes.
This trial tests whether a food supplement can improve skin health in people with normal to dry skin. You would take the supplement or a placebo every day and have your skin checked over a few weeks.
This study tests a new medicine called SPOT-mRNA01, given as a small injection under the skin, to see if it is safe and well-tolerated. It is an early-stage trial in healthy volunteers, which means it is not yet testing whether the medicine works for a disease.
This study tests two sunscreen products to see how well they protect the skin from sun damage. Participants will have a small area on their back treated and then exposed to a controlled amount of UV light to measure the products' effectiveness.
This study tests how safe and well-tolerated a skin patch is on the back. It is for adults with sensitive skin who want to help evaluate a new cosmetic product.
This early-stage study looks at how your skin’s genes respond after a controlled skin procedure. It may help researchers understand differences in skin biology between younger and older adults.
