RESUMO
The aim of this study was the development, evaluation of the stability and the efficacy of cosmetic formulations containing acetyl hexapeptide-3 (AHP), or acetyl tetrapeptide-5 (ATP) or mixture of di- and peptides (DTP). For this purpose the 6 following formulations (F) were developed: F1- containing hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), methylphenyl polysiloxane (MPPS), batyl alcohol, and lecithin (BAL); F2- HEC, MPPS and C12-C20 PEG-8 alkyl ester (AE); F3- acrylate copolymer (AC), MPPS and BAL; F4- AC, MPPS and AE; F5- HEC and MPPS and F6- AC and MPPS, which were supplemented or not (vehicle) with 10% of AHP or 10% of ATP or 4% of DTP and submitted to the evaluation of physical stability by the determination of the rheologic behavior and also to the sensorial analysis. For clinical efficacy studies, formulations were applied to the volar forearm and to the face skin (eye corner and cheek region), of 60 female volunteers. Skin conditions in terms of skin moisture, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), skin mechanical properties (anisotropy) and skin microrelief, before and after 2 hours (immediate effects) and after 15 and 30-day period of daily application (long term effects). Results obtained were statistically analyzed using the ANOVA parametric test. In the rheological study, the formulations number 1, 2, and 5 were considered more stable than the others. Moreover, the formulations number 5 and 6 showed the best sensorial attributes, and for this reason the formulation number 5 was selected for the efficacy study. The evaluation of immediate effects of formulations showed that the application of the formulations studied in the volar forearm increased the water content of the stratum corneum, while only the formulations containing the peptides provoked an increased in this content, when face skin was analyzed. When the volar forearm skin microrelief was analyzed, the application of all the formulations studied provoked a significant decrease in skin roughness (Ser) and depth of roughness (Rt), furthermore only the formulation supplemented with the DTP showed a significant increase in the skin smoothness (Sesm). In the evaluation of long term effects, all formulations provoked a significant reduction in TEWL values and the formulations containing the peptides studied provoked a significant increase in the water content of the stratum corneum of eye corner; when the volar forearms and the cheek region were analyzed, all the formulations containing or not the peptides studied, provoked an increase in this parameter. When the skin microrelief was analyzed, only the formulation supplemented with AHP or ATP or DTP, provoked a significant increase in the skin smoothness (Sesm), when applied in the cheek region. The application of formulations containing the peptides studied in the volar forearms provoked a significant decrease in the skin anisotropy. The formulation nº 5 (F5) containing the peptides studied, showed immediate effects on skin hydration, roughness and smoothness, and also long-term effects on skin hydration, smoothness and mechanical properties, which demonstrated the importance of the use of these peptides in cosmetic formulations with hydration and anti-aging purposes.
