Abstract

|
|
Purpose: Lip plumpers are cosmetic agents for producing a temporary increase in lip volume. The topical action of lip plumpers has been rarely discussed in the dermatology literature. This study was conducted to assess the volumizing effect of lip cosmetic products.
Methods: We prepared the three different lip glosses: the control (base lip gloss), sample A (2% Zingiber officinale root oil), and sample B (2% Punica granatum flower extract). To assess their efficacy, 30 Korean female subjects (age range 30?49 years) with no negative clinical history of lip conditions were recruited. The impressions of lips were prepared at 0 min, 30 min, and 3 weeks after applying the lip gloss. Scanning electron microscopy was used to scan the impressions. The volume changes in the impressions were assessed by 3D image analysis software.
Results: For sample A, the intensity of wrinkles on the lip was decreased at 30 minutes after application, and the volumizing effect was seen at the same time. Both results were statistically significant. However, there was no statistically significant difference in wrinkle relief and volumizing effect 3 weeks later, as compared to the baseline. On the other hand, sample B both decreased wrinkle intensity and showed volumizing effects at 30 min that persisted 3 weeks later. Also, the wrinkle grade was measured by the experts.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the sample containing the Punica granatum flower extract had long-term effects in relieving wrinkles and increasing the volume of the lips. These results support the possibility of developing functional cosmetics using Punica granatum flower extract.
