Nature’s Power in Each Application
Science You Can See
At Derma-QI™, we believe skincare claims should be backed by evidence, not hype. That’s why we invest in clinical trials and advanced imaging to measure real-world benefits for sensitive skin and related conditions.
Rosacea Clinical Trial
We completed an 8-week user driven trial with a leading Canadian skincare brand.
Purpose: Evaluate the ability of Derma-QI™ to reduce redness, calm inflammation, and improve skin comfort in rosacea-prone individuals and assess how this relates to consumer likeliness to buy a formula including the Derma-QI bioactive.
Results: After just 2 weeks, participants using a Derma-QI™ formulation reported 50% improvement in symptoms—outperforming the control group by 28 percentage points. Improvements were sustained over the 8-week period.
