Published Clinical Studies

Unlock Flawless Beauty Backed by Published Clinical Studies with Colorescience!

An Open-label Study assessing the efficacy and tolerability of a post-treatment skincare protocol following Radiofrequency Microneedling for facial rejuvenation

Elizabeth Grieshaber, MD, and Alison Glorioso, CMAJournal of Clinical Aesthetic Dermatology

A post-treatment skincare protocol (Finishing Touch® Protocol) was evaluated for its effects after radiofrequency microneedling. The study aimed to determine how much the protocol influenced participants’ confidence, comfort, satisfaction, and willingness to undergo future treatments. Results showed that 97% of subjects noticed visible improvements in redness or treatment marks, and 90% felt more confident, with 86% feeling very or extremely comfortable returning to normal activities. Mild-to-moderate side effects occurred in a few cases but resolved quickly and were consistent with known treatment effects. Overall, the protocol enhanced post-procedure recovery experiences without introducing any new or severe adverse events.

Open-label study assessing the efficacy and tolerability of topical skin care and sun protection alone and in combination with intense pulsed light therapy

Jennifer Deaver, MD and Tracy M. Katz, MD, Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology

Evaluating the effectiveness and tolerability of combining a topical skin care regimen (TSCR)- consisting of a three-in-one facial cream and a mineral-based SPF power sunscreen- with a single intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment for facial redness caused by rosacea. Results showed that 80% of participants were satisfied or very satisfied with the regimen after 18 weeks, and all participants reported improvement in skin redness from baseline. The combination treatment was well tolerated, with no significant dryness, scaling, or itching observed; only mid, temporary burning occurred after IPL. Overall, the TSCR used alongside IPL significantly reduced facial redness, and extended use of the topical regimen may lead to further improvement over time.

Sabrina G. Fabi, MD, Isabella Guiha, MD and Isabela T. JonesMD, Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology

This clinical study investigated the efficacy of combining intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy with  a daily topical skincare and sunscreen regimen for the treatment of facial photodamage. The combination approach produced significant improvements in overall photodamage and hyperpigmentation compared to baseline measurements. Patients who used the skincare regimen experienced reduction in post-IPL erythema, stinging, and itching, indicating enhanced treatment tolerability. The majority of participants reported high levels of satisfaction with improvements in both skin quality and comfort.

Colorescience Multi-Center Clinical Experience Study

Cascade Eye & Skin Centers, Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery, DermaCare, EBMed Spa, Sandlake Dermatology

This multi-center clinical study evaluated the updated Finishing Touch® Protocol following various non-ablative facial treatments. Subjects and investigators assessed comfort, appearance, and tolerability immediately after application and at 48 hours and five days post-treatment. Results showed high satisfaction, with 97% of participants feeling protected and confident immediately after use, and over 90% maintaining confidence and normal activity levels through follow-up. After five days, nearly all subjects indicated they would continue using the products at home. The Finishing Touch® Protocol products were shown to be safe, effective, and well-tolerated post-procedure protocol that enhances coverage and maintains the integrity of the original protocol while incorporating new innovations in sun protection and cosmetic skin care.

Faqs

The Colorescience® Finishing Touch® is a protocol that will correct, calm, treat and protect your skin. Generally applied after non-ablative procedures, The Colorescience® Finishing Touch® Protocol leaves your skin feeling calm, comfortable, while ultimately protecting your treatment results and overall skin health. Colorescience® encourages individuals to continue usage of these products for improved long-term skincare health.

The Colorescience® Finishing Touch® Protocol was designed and studied to help individuals feel confident, comfortable and protected. Using these products pre-procedure, post-procedure, and every day will provide the same experience.

The Colorescience® Finishing Touch® Protocol offers immediate and on-going correction of pigmentation, redness, sensitivity and eye concerns. These products provide broad spectrum, chemical-free, and all-mineral UVA/UVB protection. The Total Protection®  products used in the protocol are powered by EnviroScreen® Technology which provides protection from aggressors such as UVA/UVB, pollution, blue light (HEV) and infrared radiation.

The Colorescience® Finishing Touch®  products are all created with ingredients that will soothe and calm sensitive, post-procedure skin. That said, your skin may be sensitive due to the nature of a post-procedure or treatment you just received.

All Colorescience® products are 100% free from parabens, phytates, synthetic fragrance, talc, dyes, mineral oils, drying alcohols, and chemical sunscreen. Colorescience® never tests on animals.

Yes, all the products in The Colorescience® Finishing Touch® Protocol are gluten free.

Colorescience® believes in a layered protection approach. The UVA and UVB protection comes from the patented chemical-free, all-physical, mineral ingredients Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. The EnviroScreen® Total Protection family of products include Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, plus specialty ingredients, to protect you from pollution, blue light (high energy visible light) and infrared radiation. The EnviroScreen®  specialty ingredients are iron oxides, anti-oxidants and natural hydrators.

Chemical sunscreen ingredients work by creating a chemical reaction that changes UV rays into heat and then releases that heat from the skin. It can take up to 20 minutes after the application of a chemical sunscreen before it begins to work. Chemical sunscreens can also cause eye and skin irritation. Unlike chemical sunscreens, all-physical, mineral sunscreens work by providing a protective layer on the top of the skin, reflecting the sun’s rays and dispersing the energy. The protection is immediate upon application. Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide are the effective patented physical sunscreen ingredients used in Colorescience® products. Post-procedure skin can be more sensitive, making mineral sunscreens an ideal product to apply.

The Colorescience® products provide natural-looking coverage and color correction for redness or hyperpigmentation. They can be customized to your specific skin concerns. Colorescience® uses iron oxides, not dyes, to create the shades and color variations found in every product.

The products in the Colorescience® Finishing Touch® Protocol are selected to treat and protect, provide color correction and enhancement, and reapplication of protection and hydration. For more product details, visit the Colorescience® Finishing Touch® Protocol page.

Yes. Colorescience® Finishing Touch® Protocol products compliments not only procedures but can also be used as part of your daily skincare routine. By using Colorescience® Finishing Touch® Protocol products, you get immediate correction, chemical-free protection and specialty ingredients that support the results you are trying to achieve.

Yes. The Colorescience® Finishing Touch® Protocol has been studied and published in multiple peer-reviewed journals.
