This study is looking at how a dietary supplement called Immun'Age Fermented Papaya Preparation (FPP) affects skin hydration in healthy volunteers. Researchers want to see if FPP can improve the skin's barrier function, especially in areas like the face, arms, and hands that might show signs of dryness. They will measure this by looking at Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL), which indicates how much water your skin loses. You may be able to join if you are between 50 and 75 years old and are generally healthy. The study will measure TEWL, skin surface pH, and skin surface temperature over 12 weeks to see if FPP has a positive effect. The current status of this study is unclear.
