Efficacy of Oryza Sativa L. (Black Rice) and Opuntia Ficus Indica L. Blend in Men with Androgenetic Alopecia: A Randomized, Double−Blind, Placebo−Controlled Clinical Trial

Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) is a progressive hair loss type affecting up to 80% of men and 50% of women. The putative mechanisms in the pathogenesis of AGA include microinflammation, premature cell senescence, oxidative stress, follicle vascular changes and altered sensitivity of hair follicles to androgens. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was carried out on 86 male subjects with AGA from II to III vertex (Hamilton-Norwood). Product efficacy was measured after 3, 6 months of product intake and 1-month post-supplementation. The hair cycle parameters measurement by phototricogram were integrated by the global photography assessment and the self-assessment questionnaire. The results showed an increase of the total hair density and the % of hair in anagen phase with a simultaneous decrease in the % of hair in telogen phase; as consequence the anagen/telogen ratio was improved of about 45.7% and 85.8% at 3 and 6 mo, respectively. The instrumental data were confirmed by the clinical analysis carried out by a board-certified dermatologist and by the self-assessment questionnaire. The obtained improvements were also maintained 1-month post-supplementation. The intake of 250 mg of ActrisaveTM improved the hair life cycle increasing hair growth, density and slowing down hair loss in men with mild-to-moderate androgenetic alopecia.

The skin sensitive syndrome is a widespread condition with an impact on the quality of life of the affected subjects. Cosmetics may be formulated specifically for sensitive skin conditions, alleviating the relative symptoms. The present study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of a natural extract containing polysaccharides from Opuntia ficus-indica (cladodes extract), biophenols from Olea Europaea (olive leaves extract) and flavonoids from Capparis spinosa (caper fruit) on skin discomfort induced by different stressors such as skin redness and skin barrier function alteration by shaving/ epilation; neurogenic mediated by capsaicin; and skin redness induced by UV exposure. Three randomized double-blind, controlled studies were carried out on 20 Caucasian subjects. Product efficacy was measured by means of both instrumental measures (redness and transepidermal water loss, TEWL) and by subjective scoring of the functional signs (itching/stinging and burning sensations) induced by each stressor. The active ingredient showed to decrease: the skin redness and the TEWL after shaving/epilation, the capsaicin-induced skin discomforts and the UV-induced skin redness. Our results demonstrate the ingredient efficacy in decreasing the skin discomforts induced by physical, chemical and environmental agents. The soothing and protective activities besides this cosmetic ingredient might be used in formulations for sensitive skin condition management.
