Congratulations to Saie Beauty for completing a clinical trial with Citruslabs
Hydrabeam boosts undereye health and radiance
Saie investigated their hydrabeam undereye concealer for markers of under-eye skin health, including hydration, firmness, and brightness. The study received IRB approval and was registered on www.clinicaltrials.gov. This was an open-label single-group clinical trial that used participant outcome methods for data collection. This means that there was one study group (the one that received the intervention); all participants received branded samples of the Saie products and had to complete baseline as well as intervention questionnaires.

Study design
This was a single-arm observational study over four weeks. Participants applied the concealer dialy after their standard skincare and completed extensive questionnaires at weeks two and four to evaluate the product properties and performance.
The participants
33 female participants, aged 18-45, completed the study. All participants were generally health with varying skin concerns, and exclusion criteria included the use of prescription medication for the skin.
Abstract
The observable effects of Hydrabeam on the undereye area
This observational study conducted with Saie is a great first step and foundational for their research. It established a baseline for their product's effects and performance. The next step for Saie would be to invest in a double-blind placebo-controlled study, the gold standard for clinical research.
Aims & Objectives: To evaluate the effects of Saie's Hydrabeam concealer on undereye skin appearance and overall look and health of the undereye area.
Study design: Interventional and observational.
Methods: A total number of 33 female participants completed the study across 4 weeks, using the concealer daily after normal skincare. The participants were surveyed using an extensive questionnaire at baseline and weeks two and four.
Results: After using Hydrabeam, 87% of participants reported increased brightness in the undereye area, 78% reported that it blurred imperfections, and 75% reported healthier looking eyes overall.
Conclusion: Saie's Hydrabeam significantly improved participants' undereye appearance and health, and the majority of users noted its ease of application as well as immediate and long-term improvements in observable eye health.
Results
Saie Hydrabeam boosts brightness and improves undereye health
91% agreed Hydrabeam brightened and illuminated the eye area over time
91% agreed the skin around the eye area felt hydrated and moisturized over time
Conclusion
Saie's Hydrabeam concealer demonstrated significant results from baseline to two weeks and at the fourth and final week of the study. Of the 33 participants involved, the majority reported improvements in skin appearance as well as skin health following daily use of the concealer.
Improvements in appearance were seen in brightness, blurring of imperfections, and reduction of dark circles upon application. Long term benefits to undereye skin health were also reported by the majority of participants, including increased smoothness, elasticity, and hydration.
Saie has created a significant foundation on which to base their product claims, and now presents their Hydrabeam concealer with clinically-backed results.
