Retrouvé
Founded by Jami and Klaus Heidegger, who bring with them a wealth of experience from their renowned work with their family’s heritage brand, Kiehl’s Since 1851, Retrouvé was born from decades of passion, innovation, and dedication to skin health.
Retrouvé’s mission is to create the most high-performance, results-driven, and efficacious products. Streamline your skincare routine with their fine-quality, concentrated, multi-tasking products that reduce the need for an abundance of items dedicated to a single concern. Each of their dynamic formulas can address a multitude of skin concerns, including hydration, desiccation, smoothness, fine lines, and brightness - for your most radiant skin at any age.
What are the Luminous Cleansing Elixir and the Nutrient Face Serum
The Retrouvé Luminous Cleansing Elixir is a skincare product designed to address the dual challenges of effective cleansing and skin nourishment. This balm-based formula, enriched with avocado and humectants, has been formulated to cleanse the skin while preserving its moisture balance which enables the dissolution of makeup, sunscreen, impurities, excess oil, and debris, all while rinsing away residue and lingering dirt particles.
The Luminous Cleansing Elixir is formulated for daily use and can be either rinsed off or gently removed with a tissue, leaving the skin feeling smooth and rejuvenated. Key ingredients in the Retrouvé Luminous Cleansing Elixir include Glycerin, Avocado Oil, and Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate.
How were Retrouvé's products tested?
Retrouvé partnered with Citruslabs to conduct a consumer perception study to evaluate the effects of two of their flagship products: Retrouvé Luminous Cleansing Elixir and Retrouvé Nutrient Face Serum. The primary goal was to assess the perceived impact of these products on overall skin health, with secondary objectives including changes in hydration, radiance, tone, evenness, clarity, texture, resilience, fine lines, and wrinkles.
The study involved 32 participants who used the Retrouvé Luminous Cleansing Elixir and Retrouvé Nutrient Face Serum twice daily (morning and night) for a duration of four weeks. Participants were instructed to apply the products according to the provided regimen and maintain their regular skincare routine. The study employed subjective assessments through participant feedback alongside objective measurements to evaluate various skin parameters.
Did You Know?
Consumer Perception Studies differ from clinical trial in a few key ways:
1. These studies do not require ethical approval from an Institutional Review Board (IRB) like clinical trials do.
2. Consumer Perception studies use questionnaires that are not always scientifically validated, meaning while they can support your product claims, they do not technically classify as scientific research.
Benefits of Perception Studies for Retrouvé and Other Brands
Consumer perception studies are a fantastic option for a wide variety of consumer brands, including skincare and supplement brands. This research method is a less intensive option than a traditional clinical trial, but still provides brands with data about the performance of their product. These studies use scientifically validated questionnaires to collect data from real people testing out a product. These studies enable brands such as Retrouvé to comply with regulatory authorities while generating marketable product claims.
Study results for the Luminous Cleansing Elixir and Nutrient Face Serum
The consumer perception study concluded that Retrouvé Luminous Cleansing Elixir and Retrouvé Nutrient Face Serum were exceptionally well-received by the participants. The products demonstrated significant effectiveness in improving participants' perception of various skin concerns and parameters, including hydration, youthful appearance, and overall skin health.
- Statistical Significance: Every parameter subjected to statistical analysis exhibited a significant improvement from baseline to week 4, indicating the efficacy of the tested products.
