Study on MARK LA's E.Q. Clear Skin Collection
Menning Labs (MARK LA)
Menning Labs, a leading player in the skincare industry, is committed to providing innovative and effective solutions for various skin concerns. With a focus on enhancing individuals' confidence and well-being, Menning Labs has developed a range of skincare products, including the EQ line. The company's mission is to address common skin issues and contribute to the overall improvement of skin health.
What is the E.Q. Clear Skin Collection?
Reset your skincare routine with our comprehensive EQ Clear Skin Collection™, designed to exfoliate, cleanse, protect, and moisturize your skin while combating inflammation caused by breakouts, acne and environmental aggressors.
How was the E.Q. Clear Skin Collection tested?
The study enrolled 36 participants who were dealing with acne-related symptoms. The impact of Menning Labs' EQ products was assessed through a combination of quantitative and qualitative measures.
Participants self-scored the impact of their acne symptoms using the validated Acne QoL scale, providing standardized data on the overall effect on their quality of life. Further, they answered study-specific questions to evaluate the appearance and severity of their acne symptoms over time and provided self-taken photos of their skin, which were then graded by dermatologists to objectively assess improvements in skin condition.
Turning Participant Feedback into Statistics
Product claims that tout the quantifiable effects of a product are memorable and impactful for consumers. For example, a claim may state that "90%" of study participants saw improvements in a given area of skin health or appearance. How do you create these kinds of claims for your products?
Enter: Clinical Research. Clinical trials and other studies are the only way to generate these numerical claims about your formula's performance. You must have concrete study data in order to create statistical statements about the effects of your product. Luckilly, this kind of research is easilly attainable with the help of contract research organizations (CROs) such as Citruslabs.
Benefits of Clinical Research for MARK LA and Other Brands
Cosmetic product claims that are backed by clinical research appeal to consumers for the formula transparency they provide. Brands like MARK Los Angeles create science-backed performance claims which empower customers to pick the products that are right for them, and to have confidence in the safety and efficacy of these formulas.
