CITIZEN SCIENCE

True Skin Alchemy

Developed in collaboration with some of our most loyal customers, this product-blinded, 8-week Inner Circle explored participants’ experiences of using True Skin Alchemy to support their skin in everyday life. 

Led by Dr Jenna Macciochi, the study followed 55 women aged 34–55 and recorded the changes they perceived in how their skin looked and felt through structured self-perception questionnaires.

 Clinical trials tell us what happens under controlled conditions; the Inner Circle helps us understand how a product supports our customers in real life.
