Introduction: Minéral 89 (M89), comprised of 89% Vichy mineralizing water and hyaluronic acid, has been formulated to help strengthen and restore skin barrier.Aim: Assess tolerance and efficacy of M89 in post-esthetic procedures and dry skinrelated facial dermatoses.Method: Adults post-esthetic procedure or presenting with inflammatory dermatoses (47 subjects; mean age 40.9 ± 13.2 years; any Fitzpatrick or skin phototype), applied M89 for 4 weeks, once or twice daily, as an adjuvant treatment. Information on clinical signs and subject-reported symptoms, skin characteristics, tolerance, and subject and investigator satisfaction were collected.Results: Following 4 weeks of M89 use, significant decreases with complete resolution of erythema (27.6%), desquamation (29.8%), irritation (32%), and skin dehydration (35.8%), as compared to baseline signs and symptoms, were observed. Overall grading improvements for erythema (84.8%; p < 0.001), desquamation (91.7%; %; p < 0.003), irritation (91.7%; %; p < 0.015), and skin hydration (46.2%; p < 0.015) were noted.There was no significant improvement in papules and pustules. Evaluation of subjective signs demonstrated significant decreases in skin sensations such as burning (−73%; p < 0.0001), itching (−71%; p < 0.0001), stinging-tingling (−66.7%; p < 0.0001), as well as in skin dryness (−60%; p < 0.0001). M89 texture was rated very pleasant by 90% of patients. Investigators assessed M89 tolerance to be either good or very good (93%), and satisfactory or highly satisfactory impact on patient's skin (91.5%).
Conclusion:M89 is a highly tolerable adjuvant treatment that significantly improved clinical signs and symptoms related to a compromised skin barrier in various facial dermatoses and post-aesthetic procedures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
