Clinical study on the effects of a cosmetic product on dermal extracellular matrix components using a high‐resolution multiphoton tomograph

Background/purpose: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effects of selected plant extracts in a cosmetic cream on the dermal network components after a 3‐month treatment using an in vivo multiphoton tomographic device.
