05 Dec 2022 --- US-based researchers have found that pomegranate extract (PE) can improve biophysical properties of the skin, including the reduction of facial sebum production and transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Additionally, smoothening of wrinkles and shifts in skin microbiome were observed with oral supplementation of the extract. They conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial using Verdure Science’s patented pomegranate extract dubbed Pomella. The results of the four-week study showed a “statistically significant” decrease in the facial wrinkle severity and a decreasing trend in the sebum excretion rate on the forehead.
