Clinical Test Results Shows GeneLink's Dermagenetics™ Skin-Care
Formula Reverses Signs of Aging
June 2, 2004
MARGATE, NJ – BUSINESS WIRE – June 2, 2004 – GeneLink BioSciences, Inc. (OTCBB:GNLK) the bioscience company announced today that a recent
clinical trial showed that its Dermagenetics™ skin-care formulation
significantly reduced the signs of skin wrinkling and skin-aging while
outperforming a similar placebo crème.
The eight week, double-blind, randomized and controlled study compared
the performance of placebo crème versus the performance of
a "genetically guided" crème containing active ingredients
formulated for each participant. Utilizing GeneLink's patent pending
Dermagenetics™ Profile Assessment, thirty-one women were genetically
pre-screened and provided with individualized formulations linked
to their genetic predispositions
For those using the genetically guided formulations, 62% reported
substantial reduction in the appearance of wrinkles after 14 days
of treatment. After 56 days, the number of participants reporting
reduction in the appearance of wrinkles rose to 70%. Similarly, after
14 days, 56% of the participants indicated improved skin-firmness
and after eight weeks of treatment those with improvements in skin-firmness
rose to 70%.
The final report is still being drafted but will include physiological
measurements in skin firmness, wrinkle reduction, skin moisture,
skin tone, skin suppleness, and skin pigment uniformity.
"GeneLink is the first and only company to offer a 'personalized
skin-care system' utilizing the power of SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism)
based genetic information," says John DePhillipo, GeneLink's
CEO. "GeneLink is now in a position to license these powerful
new anti-aging skin care products to both national and international
companies with well established distribution bases."
GeneLink's formulations address key individual genetic characteristics that
can accelerate skin aging, skin wrinkling and other specific oxidative stress
deficiencies in the skin and preliminary studies demonstrate that GeneLink's
system is significantly more effective than random topical anti-aging skin
products. The "genetically guided" skin-care system is exclusively
offered in combination with GeneLink's Dermagenetics™ Profile Assessment
which predicts a person's resistance to skin aging, skin irritation and tissue
breakdown.
