From the journal "Dermatological Therapy", researchers investigated efficacy, tolerability, and safety of a base cream containing 0.5% BAs (Boswellic Acid aka Frankincense) in the treatment of clinical manifestations of photoaging of facial skin with a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, split-face study.

Researchers noted the following significant improvements with topical BAs in comparison with placebo:
- the Dover's global score for photoaging
- tactile roughness
- fine lines
- increase of elasticity
- decrease of sebum excretion

They also observed that the treatment was always well tolerated without adverse effects.

Their conclusion?
"The present findings seem to indicate that topical application of BAs may represent a suitable treatment option for selected features of skin photoaging."
