Detailed description

Controlled clinical trial that foresees the application of the study product for an uninterrupted period of 4 weeks. 4 visits will be performed: a basal visit (T0), a short term evaluation 20 minutes after the 1st product application (T20min) and a long term evaluation after 2 (T2 - intermediate visit) and 4 (T4 - final visit) week-treatment. The study will be conducted on 33 healthy volunteers of female sex, 11 women for each of the following groups: * 35-44 years * 45-54 years * 55-65 years The volunteers accept to respect the rules fixed in the list of recruitment criteria and not to deviate from their normal life habits. Moreover, the month preceding the inclusion visit and during the entire period of treatment, normal cleansing habits must be maintained, sun and UV light exposure, avoided. In the case of UV exposure must be used a sun screen total block cream. Each volunteer is precisely informed about the study, a consent form being completed and signed. At the end of the study the investigator will declare to have informed all the volunteers participating it, signing and dating the relative form.

For each volunteer a Case Record Form is filled and to each one a progressive number is assigned. Personal data, subject's history, clinical and instrumental evaluations are registered in basal conditions and at all study visits. During 3 hours before the visit the volunteer must not smoke, drink coffee or alcohol. Any cosmetic product can be used on the skin test area during 2 hours before the visit. All measurements are performed under standard environmental conditions (Temperature=22+\\-2°C; Relative Humidity\<60%). Before each visit the volunteer will get acclimatized under relax conditions for at least 10-15 min. Each volunteer will report on the personal diary card all information about the date, the time of study product application and a comment if necessary.
