A method for the measurement and analysis of skin fluorescence across multiple subjects. The method includes illuminating each subject with an excitation wavelength, detecting a peak fluorescence level within a corresponding emission wavelength range, determining relative levels of skin glycation for each subject, and evaluating the efficacy of a skin treatment based on the relative levels of skin glycation. The method can include ranking and normalizing the peak fluorescence levels for each subject, and the method is suitable for use in placebo-controlled studies of anti-glycation skin therapies.

Method for determining skin glycation

Disclosed is a composition comprising a combination of:seed extract,extract, palmitoyl wheat protein hydrolysate, algae extract, and tripeptide. The composition may further comprise one or more of the following:peel extract,extract,extract,(pea) extract,fruit extract, and dipalmitoylhydroxy proline. Such compositions are useful in methods for aiding in improving skin firmness, lifting the skin, preventing or decreasing skin sagging, and preventing or decreasing visible signs of aging resulting from internal and external causes such as environmental stresses.

Skin firming and lifting compositions and methods of use

A skin whitening composition includes acerola cherry fermentate. The composition can be topically applied to the human skin and can include one or more whitening agents in combination with acerola cherry fermentate to achieve enhanced whitening effect. A method of whitening human skin includes topically applying to the skin acerola cherry fermentate in an amount and for a period of time sufficient to visibly whiten the skin. The method includes incorporating acerola cherry fermentate with known whitening agents and applying to the skin in an amount and for a period of time sufficient to visibly whiten the skin.
