Evaluation of adapted dermocosmetic regimens for perimenopausal and menopausal women using an artificial intelligence‐based algorithm and quality of life questionnaires: An open observational study

“…compare the self-perceived effects of a facial anti-aging product to those automatically detected from selfie images of Chinese women of different ages and cities. 37 Although the use of an effective skin care regimen may not be expected to have an impact on the health status dimension, it has been reported that the use of an effective skin care regimen may have a positive effect on QoL 31 and we observed significant improvements for the vast majority of responses for the self-esteem and social effect dimensions. In previous publications on the role of estrogen HRT in skin aging, the visible signs of dryness, wrinkles, and sagging contributed to an increased perception of aging and decreased attractiveness 38 with a significant impact on QoL.…”

“…MSkinQoL was previously demonstrated to distinguish postmenopausal women from non‐menopausal women.

There have not been any findings related to this specific issue or any measurement (instruments) in this regard . Therefore, the main objective was to analyze the metric properties of a questionnaire which has been designed to show the perception of Spanish general emotional well‐being.…”

Preliminary Research on the Effect of Cosmetic Containing Ginseng Extract on Quality of Life of Healthy Women Based on Skindex-16

“…Many skin diseases are detrimental to social interactions, and thus it is important to evaluate their psychosocial effect as an aspect of the efficacy of treatment. Patients perceive a personal "disability" in different ways, which are not necessarily proportional to the clinical severity of disease [6][7][8].
