  ABSTRACT: We describe a novel, non-invasive peptide-based product intended to counter several pathophysiological signs of aged skin through the topical application of signalling molecule mimics. Several aesthetic parameters of skin physiology were assessed. The product was tested on 20 healthy Caucasian women (35 - 55 years-old) who applied the product twice-daily to the face for 30 days. Skin elasticity, firmness, sagging, brightness, and luminosity were assessed. Additionally, over a period of 3 hours, the hydrating effect of the product vs placebo vs non-treated skin was assessed. After 30 days, participants showed significant increases in skin elasticity (11.8% increase, p
