Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 30–65 with visible cosmetic concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, or uneven texture, and who can commit to the at-home regimen and smartphone app use.

Probably not a fit

Individuals without visible cosmetic concerns or who do not respond to at-home devices or skincare regimens may not experience benefit.

What this trial studies

This interventional study will evaluate changes in cosmetic skin appearance, texture, sagging, and wrinkles after 4 weeks of at-home use of a multi-functional beauty device, with supporting topical serum and mask. Approximately 50 adults will participate and use the device and products per a prescribed protocol while safety is monitored. The trial is conducted at Johns Hopkins University with APR Co., Ltd. as the lead sponsor. Participants must have visible cosmetic concerns and be able to use a smartphone for app-based device functions. Key eligibility includes adults 30–65 with Fitzpatrick skin types I–V and no recent cosmetic facial procedures during the study period.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may see improvements in facial skin appearance, texture, and firmness from at-home device use alongside skincare products.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies of at-home cosmetic devices and topical regimens have shown mixed results; this trial explores a combined approach in a real-world setting.
