Study led by Calkin and Boudreaux Dermatology

CARLSBAD, Calif., Aug. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Colorescience^®, a leading dermatologist-recommended specialty skincare company, announces published results in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Efficacy and Tolerability of a Novel Skin Cream for Improving Periocular Rhytids and Dryness. The 8-week open-label clinical trial assessed the efficacy and tolerability of the Colorescience Total Eye® Firm & Repair Cream for treating subjects with periorbital wrinkles, dryness, laxity and dark circles.

Dr. Jacqueline M. Calkin and Dr. Alison A. Boudreaux, board-certified dermatologists at Calkin and Boudreaux Dermatology in Sacramento, CA, along with Barbara Taylor, Product Specialist, led the study.

Dr. Jacqueline M. Calkin shares, “As investigators for the Colorescience® Total Eye Firm & Repair Cream clinical study, both Dr. Boudreaux and I were able to observe and measure firsthand the multiple benefits of this product. We were particularly impressed to see improvement in laxity, especially in the upper eyelids, and dryness as early as 4 weeks and pleased that 100% of subjects showed global improvement by week 8. Total Eye® Firm & Repair Cream perfectly complements the Total Eye® collection and has quickly become a patient favorite.”

Results of the clinical study showed significant improvements for laxity and dryness as early as week 4, and for dark circles by week 8. All subjects (100%) showed global improvement by week 8. Additionally, all subjects “agreed” or “strongly agreed” that the product made their eyes feel more hydrated (100%), look and feel healthier (95%) and increased confidence in their eye appearance (91%). An impressive 97% of subjects would continue using Total Eye® Firm & Repair Cream. The Total Eye® Firm & Repair Cream was well tolerated and successfully demonstrated improvements in the overall appearance of the periorbital area and in the subjects’ eye concerns.

On average, skin around the eye area is 5x thinner than the rest of the face, and the top skin concerns affecting the skin in this area include dark circles, loss of firmness, fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness and dehydration. Total Eye® Firm & Repair Cream was developed to target these common concerns with a patented Total Eye® Complex – a blend of unique specialty ingredients, while specifically focusing on increasing firmness of eyelids and the under-eye area, delivering intense hydration, and smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Colorescience® Total Eye® Firm & Repair Cream is part of the brand’s Total Eye® regimen and can be used alone or in conjunction with award-winning Total Eye® Renewal Therapy SPF 35 as well as the Total Eye® Hydrogel Treatment Masks and Total Eye® Concentrate.

What can I expect during my skin care consultation at Calkin Boudreaux Dermatology?

Initially, I will take specialized photographs that quantify the levels of sun damage and inflammation in the skin and often reveal skin conditions that patients were unaware of. I will then ask the patient to share their skin concerns and goals, products that they are currently using, and budget for skin care products. Together we develop a personalized treatment plan to address their concerns and allow patients to achieve outstanding results.

What are the three most important products for my skin—from a dermatologist’s perspective?

The three most important skin care products will vary depending on the patient’s concerns. An acne patient, for example, will require different products from someone with aging and sun damage as primary concerns. For the aging skin patient, we typically recommend a medical-grade antioxidant serum, a retinoid and a growth factor product. Of course, all patients need a mineral sunscreen tailored to their skin type.

What exclusive products are offered at Calkin Boudreaux Dermatology? 

Drs. Calkin and Boudreaux proudly offer their exclusive line of medical-grade skin care, MD Alchemy. The products are wildly popular among our patients and deliver almost magical results. Additionally, we are the only practice in Northern California to offer Custom Dose by SkinCeuticals, a custom skin serum that is compounded in our office specifically for your skin concerns. These are only a few of our offerings, however. Please visit our office for your complimentary, professional skin care consultation. I would love to show you our portfolio of services!
