Abstract

Turmeric and tamarind leaves extract creams have potential as anti-aging agents, but their use has never been studied in vivo. Therefore the purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of turmeric and tamarind leaves extract cream in maintaining skin quality in vivo. This research was carried out by applying turmeric and tamarind leaf extract cream to 24 volunteers (having received approval from the ethical commission). Variables observed included sebum content, pore size, pigment content, moisture or moisture content, elasticity and collagenase content. The results showed that turmeric and tamarind leaves extract cream can increase sebum content up to 31.1%, reduce pore size to 0.017 mm, increase pigment content up to 13.2%, moisture up to 54.2%, elasticity up to 21.4% and collagenase content up to 37.3%.
