Abstract

Angelica gigas Nakai is used as an herbal pharmaceutical material in Korea. To investigate the anti-wrinkle effects of A. gigas Nakai root extracts (ARE) using mineral-rich water in vivo trials. During a double-blinded in vivo clinical study, participants were randomly assigned to use the sample and placebo formulations for the left and right sides of their faces over an 8-week period. We evaluated the anti-wrinkle properties of the formulations using PRIMOS Lite. The use of an ARE lotion significantly reduced the presence of crow’s feet wrinkles in comparison with the use of the placebo after 8 weeks. The use of ARE with mineral-rich water has anti-wrinkle effects in clinical trials.
