Efficacy and Tolerance Evaluation of a"revitalizing" face treatment consisting of a day and a night cream

Change of wrinkles grade, around the eyes (Crow's feet)
Variation of wrinkles grade from baseline of the Glogau's reference photographic scale (visual score from 1-4) where: * Type 1: early wrinkles * Type 2: wrinkle in motion * Type 3: wrinkles at rest * Type 4: Only wrinkles
Time frame: Baseline visit (T0), 1 month (T1), 2 months (T2), 3 months (T3)
Change of wrinkles grade of nasolabial folds
Variation of wrinkles grade from baseline of the Lemperle's reference photographic scale (visual score from 1-6) where: * Grade 1: no wrinkles * Grade 2: just perceptible wrinkles * Grade 3: shallow wrinkles * Grade 4: moderately deep wrinkles * Grade 5: deep wrinkles, well-defined folds * Grade 6: very deep wrinkles, redundant fold
Time frame: Baseline visit (T0), 1 month (T1), 2 months (T2), 3 months (T3)
Change of skin surface microrelief's regularity
Variation of skin surface microrelief's regularity grade from baseline of cheek surface microrelief photographic scale where: * Grade 1:very regular * Grade 2: regular * Grade 3: irregular * Grade 4: very irregular.

Homogeneity grade was determined according to specific reference clinical and photographic scales and to the following clinical score: 0 = very homogeneous 1. = homogeneous 2. = quite not homogeneous 3. = not homogeneous 4. = very not homogeneous 5. = marked not homogeneous
Time frame: Baseline visit (T0), 1 month (T1), 2 months (T2), 3 months (T3)
Change of roughness profilometric parameters
Crow's feet profilometric parameters measured by Primos compact portable device (GFMesstechnik). Ra is average roughness of the analysed profile, Rt is wrinkles total high, Rv is wrinkles maximum depth.
