“Research carried out by Holland-based Campina Industrial Products shows that a milk protein it has launched can lead to a 50 percent reduction in acne within the space of two weeks. The company was testing its Praventin milk extract, which was launched on the European and North American markets towards the end of last year. Following the launch, the company has reported a big success in the take up for the extract, citing its own research as proof of its efficacy.
Tests were carried out through the research and development arm of parent group DMV International. Its tests showed that of 44 volunteers taking a topical treatment that included the extract, by the second week less than half of the individuals were still suffering from acne.
A continuation of the study showed that less than 30 percent of these individuals were still suffering from acne symptoms after four weeks and over 95 percent reported no symptoms after 8 weeks, results that the company says prove that the ingredient remains effective with continued treatment.
Accordingly, the company also claims that 86 percent of the teenagers who participated as volunteers in the test said that they would continue to use the treatment as they were happy with the results. ”
