摘要

本研究以左手香(Plectranthus amboinicus)萃取物之系列保養品進行對臉部皮膚的皮脂分泌、毛孔及粗糙度的功效評估。皮膚功效性檢測，使用多功能皮膚檢測儀(Multi Probe Adapter MPA；Courage + Khazaka, Koeln, Germany)搭配皮膚油脂測定儀Sebumeter® SM 815探頭，檢測皮膚表面油脂分泌含量。使用VISIA膚質檢測儀(VISIA Complexion Analysis)檢測皮膚毛孔及粗糙度。共有14位受測者完成完整試驗，包括4位男性及10位女性。受測者皮膚皮脂分泌量的檢測結果顯示，與使用前相比較，使用產品後30分鐘、7天及28天，右臉及前額之皮脂含量皆顯著減少。而停用本系列產品後一週後，即恢復接近使用前的皮膚分泌量。受測者皮膚毛孔的檢測結果顯示，右臉在使用後7天及28天、前額則在使用後28天，皮膚毛孔粗大的情形都各自有顯著的改善；且在停用一週後，右臉皮膚毛孔粗大的情形仍有持續性顯著改善。而受測者皮膚粗糙度的檢測結果顯示，與使用前相比較，使用28天後，右臉及前額皮膚粗糙度有顯著的改善；且在停用一週後，右臉及前額皮膚的粗糙度仍有持續性的顯著改善。整體而言，左手香萃取物之系列產品可顯著減少皮膚表面油脂分泌量，改善皮膚粗糙及毛孔粗大之情形，適用於偏油性健康肌膚者使用。未來將持續探討此萃取物對於調控油脂分泌之作用機制，並鑑定其有效成分，期望能有助於提升美容保養品之專業與技術。

In this study, a series of skin care products of Plectranthus amboinicus extracts on the secretion of sebum, pores and roughness were evaluated. The multifunction skin detector (Multi Probe Adapter MPA; Courage + Khazaka, Koeln, Germany) with skin oils Sebumeter ® SM 815 meter probe was used to detect skin surface sebum content. VISIA Skin detector (VISIA Complexion Analysis) was used to detect skin pores and roughness. A total of 14 subjects completed the full trial, including four men and ten women. Skin functional assays were conducted before product used and 30 minutes, 7 days, and 28 days after product used on check and forehead and found the products can reduce sebum content significantly on both cheek and forehead. However, stop using this series of products for a week will restore sebum secretion as usual. The results also showed that skin pores were reduced significantly after 7 days and 28 days of product uses on right cheek and reduced significantly after 28 days of product uses on forehead, respectively. Even stop using products for a week, pore sizes on check and forehead showed significant and persistent improvements. While the results of roughness test showed skin roughness both on check and forehead were significantly improved after 28 days use of products compared to before use. Stop using the products for a week, skin roughness both on check and forehead were still showed significant and persistent improvement. In general, Plectranthus amboinicus extracts products can significantly reduce these sebum secretion, improve rough skin and pores sizes. Further investigation will be focus on the mechanism of regulation sebum secretion and identified the active ingredients. Hopefully this study can promote professional techniques of developing skin care products.
