Abstract
The study aimed to evaluate the in vitro properties of a new gel formulation (P-3086) as anti-aging treatment. Two in vitro methods aimed to assess and compare the efficacy of the gel formulation in reducing oxidative damages, artificially induced by UVA on skin-derived keratinocytes and in promoting the synthesis of collagen, compared with other four formulations. P-3086 reduced reactive oxygen species production after UVA stress with the highest effect observed at 0.016 mg/ml and 0.031 mg/ml concentration. P-3086 also promoted the collagen synthesis faster when compared with other formulations. The new gel product, based on hyaluronic acid, Vitamin E and Humulus lupulus, showed a good efficacy as anti-aging effect reducing the oxidative damages derived by the action of ROS, moreover stimulating the synthesis of one of the components of the connective tissue, the collagen.

The desire for a long and healthy life is not an invention of modern times
We investigated the effectiveness of P-3086 to counteract oxidative damages, artificially induced by UVA on skin-derived keratinocytes, comparing the result with that of other formulations
The concentration of the actives in the different test products reflects those of P-3086, taking into account that the excipients content is unchanged in the different test products
Summary
The desire for a long and healthy life is not an invention of modern times. The dream of eternal youth has accompanied humans since ancient time and in all cultures: from the Byzantine Empress Zoe Porphyrogenita, that tried to keep her youth appearance until a prolonged age, applying on herself cosmetic essences and fragrances made in her personal laboratory in the imperial palace [1] to Indian traditional medicine and the ayurvedic perspectives on theories and management of aging [2]. All of them tried to seek a remedy to rejuvenation. The demand for an anti-aging therapy is higher day by day. People want to look younger because a youthful appearance reflects in a physical and mental health until very old age.
