Prolonged sun exposure disrupts the skin’s structural, mechanical, and functional properties, accelerating aging and contributing to skin disorders. To counteract these effects, we developed a formulation containing potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, and reparative ingredients to protect and repair sun-damaged skin. The efficacy of the formulation was evaluated through in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo studies. Results demonstrated that the formulation reduced oxidative stress and suppressed the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8), as well as lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) secretion, in a photodamaged skin model, nearly reaching levels observed in undamaged skin. It also restored collagen levels, improving structural integrity. In vivo, no adverse reactions were observed when used for 28 or 56 days. The formulation improved skin hydration by up to 46%, reduced transepidermal water loss by 20%, increased luminosity by 70%, and reduced hyperpigmented spots by 14%. It also enhanced skin firmness and elasticity by 30% and reduced wrinkle volume and density by up to 53% and 19%, respectively. These findings demonstrate that the formulation’s active ingredients effectively target the pathways altered by UV exposure, offering considerable potential for preventing and reversing sun-induced skin damage while improving both the appearance and functionality of the skin.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder. Revodiol Calming Cream® (RCC) is a novel dermocosmetic product containing cannabidiol (CBD) and Annona cherimola fruit extract, designed for the management of atopic-prone and sensitive skin. Objective: Clinically assess the efficacy and safety of RCC in the management of atopic-prone and/or sensitive skin. Materials and methods: A prospective study included 20 adults and 22 children with mild-to-moderate atopic-prone skin. RCC was applied daily, for 56 days. Clinical evaluation included the SCORAD index, pruritus and dryness scales; and a Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Biometric assessments (Mexameter®, Tewameter®, Visioscan®, Corneofix®) were performed. Subjective satisfaction and quality of life (DLQI) were also recorded. Results: RCC was well tolerated, with no significant adverse events. After 56 days, SCORAD scores decreased by 55% in adults and 60% in children. Pruritus and dryness were significantly reduced, and VAS scores indicated a 65% decrease in discomfort. Biometric assessments demonstrated improvements in erythema, skin barrier function, topography, and desquamation. Subjective satisfaction reached 75% in both populations, and DLQI improved by 23%. Conclusions: The synergistic combination of CBD, Annona cherimola extract, and natural humectants offers a safe and effective daily dermocosmetic care for both adults and children.
