Buttocks - In vivo efficacy tests

A study was conducted on a group of 20 female volunteers with moderate to pronounced cutaneous sagging on the buttock area in order to assess the efficacy, cosmetic qualities and skin tolerability of a cosmetic treatment with a lift effect, consisting of the following products:
- LIFTENE Body Lift Buttocks
- LIFTENE Buttocks Cream

For this purpose a home use test was carried out in tandem with laboratory tests, for a duration of 30 days, during which time the volunteers used the products being tested, applying them to the skin of the buttocks as follows:
- LIFTENE Body Lift Buttocks: once a day (in the evening), taking 3 ml of product with the graduated applicator and dividing the product evenly between the two sides, massaging in gently for at least 1 minute;
- LIFTENE Buttocks Cream: once a day (in the morning), massaging in gently until fully absorbed.
