- Global Publication Trends and Advances in Striae Distensae Research: A Bibliometric Analysis. [Journal Article]J Cosmet Dermatol. 2026 Jun; 25(6):e70944.JC
- CONCLUSIONS: The bibliometric analysis of 234 SD publications from 2015 to 2024 has given us an insight into the trends and hotspots in the field, which are important for promoting international collaboration and driving improvements in clinical practice. More scientific breakthroughs in the prevention and treatment of SD are needed to meet the growing global demand for skin health.

- Supraumbillical Skin Retraction After Laser Assisted Liposuction/Lipolysis. [Journal Article]J Cosmet Dermatol. 2026 Jun; 25(6):e70948.JC
- CONCLUSIONS: Laser-assisted liposuction/lipolysis is associated with measurable changes in supraumbilical contour and apparent vertical skin retraction, with greater effects observed in patients with higher preoperative skin elasticity and a longer preoperative jugulum-umbilicus distance, highlighting the importance of objective measurements for patient selection.

- Chlorella Polysaccharide Extract Attenuates Skin Aging via MAPK Pathway Suppression: Implications for Cosmetic Dermatology. [Journal Article]J Cosmet Dermatol. 2026 May; 25(5):e70919.JC
- CONCLUSIONS: CPE exerts potent anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging activities primarily through suppression of the MAPK signaling pathway, leading to reduced expression of downstream mediators. These findings highlight CPE as a promising bioactive ingredient for dermatological applications and functional skincare products.

- Similarities and Differences in the Perception of Artificially Modified Faces Between Caucasian and Chinese Observers. [Journal Article]J Cosmet Dermatol. 2026 May; 25(5):e70938.JC
- CONCLUSIONS: Caucasian and Chinese observers share similar (negative) perceptions toward excessive facial modifications but differ in the specific features they evaluate least attractive. These results indicate that a similar aesthetic perception emerges particularly when multiple facial features are altered.

- Evaluation of Tissue Response to Coinjection Versus Individual Injection of Hyaluronic Acid Filler and Polycaprolactone Microsphere-Based Filler in a Rabbit Model. [Journal Article]J Cosmet Dermatol. 2026 May; 25(5):e70941.JC
- CONCLUSIONS: The combined or sequential injection of HA filler and PCL microsphere-based filler alleviated the initial inflammatory response and improved PCL microsphere dispersion compared to PCL microsphere-based filler injection alone, indicating a favorable safety profile. However, HA filler did not directly promote collagen deposition. These findings support the combined use of these materials as a safe approach with a modulated tissue reaction.

- Skin Glycomics: Unmasking the Role of Glycation End Products in Cutaneous Aging and Dermatology. [Review]J Cosmet Dermatol. 2026 May; 25(5):e70937.JC
- CONCLUSIONS: Glycation represents a key yet underrecognized driver of cutaneous aging. Addressing glycation may enhance both aesthetic outcomes and long-term skin health, though further clinical validation is required.

- Efficacy, Tolerance, and Safety of a Novel Botanical Anti-Inflammatory Moisturizer in Rosacea: Results From a Double-Blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial. [Randomized Controlled Trial]J Cosmet Dermatol. 2026 May; 25(5):e70910.JC
- CONCLUSIONS: The oat and aloe anti-inflammatory moisturizer was superior and outperformed 0.75% metronidazole cream in both erythema and lesion reduction in rosacea subjects after 8 and 12 weeks of treatment.

- Novel and Simple Punch Treatment for Xanthelasma Palpebrarum: A Preliminary Case Series. [Case Reports]J Cosmet Dermatol. 2026 May; 25(5):e70940.JC
- CONCLUSIONS: PAXNE is a promising, minimally invasive approach showing excellent short-term aesthetic results, but it needs more investigation in larger cohorts with long-term follow-up.

- Probe-Based Measurement of Skin Translucency and Relevant Factors Analysis Among Chinese Young Females. [Journal Article]J Cosmet Dermatol. 2026 May; 25(5):e70928.JC
- CONCLUSIONS: In young Chinese females, the probe-derived alpha value has a strong association with EI, hydration, MI, and sebum level. Lower alpha, which indicates higher translucency within the device framework, corresponded to lower MI, EI, sebum and hydration. These findings are exploratory and warrant further validation in broader populations and with independent optical methods.

- Efficacy and Tolerability of a Triple Acid-Containing Serum Combined With 0.1% Adapalene in Mild-to-Moderate Acne Vulgaris: A Randomized, Open-Label Controlled Trial. [Randomized Controlled Trial]J Cosmet Dermatol. 2026 May; 25(5):e70929.JC
- CONCLUSIONS: TAS in combination with AG was shown to improve mild-to-moderate acne with good tolerability and may effectively reduce the recurrence rate when applied as a maintenance treatment post-AG.

- Synergistic Effects of Endolift With Complementary Cosmetic Procedures: A Narrative Review and Comprehensive Approach. [Review]J Cosmet Dermatol. 2026 May; 25(5):e70922.JC
- CONCLUSIONS: Endolift represents a robust, minimally invasive tool for facial and body sculpting. While current data support its efficacy, particularly within multimodal treatment plans, the standardization of protocols through larger, randomized controlled trials remains a priority to confirm long-term durability.
