Before reading skin-evaluation numbers

Participants, instruments, duration and conditions: four perspectives for understanding efficacy results responsibly.

Evidence begins not with the size of a number, but with who was measured, by what instrument, at what time and under which conditions.

01

Every result has measurement conditions

When CELLshot publishes a human efficacy evaluation, participant count, age range, use frequency, time points and comparison method are shown alongside the results. This evaluation involved N=32 women with sensitive skin and compared the same group before and after use, including measures after use and at days 14 and 28.

The numbers apply to this sample and evaluation protocol. They do not guarantee an identical change for every user.

02

Instruments record change; they do not endorse products

VISIA / VISIA-CR creates standardized facial images, PRIMOS CR measures skin-surface topography in three dimensions and Multiphoton Tomography supports exploratory observation within skin. Each method looks at a different question.

Neither SGS nor the instruments recommend the product. CELLshot’s approach is to disclose the third-party evaluation design, the method and the boundaries within which the results can be understood.

Information reflects the publication date. Always prioritize the final product label and instructions for use and precautions.
