What is Split Face Study on the Cutaneous Tensile Effect of 2-Dimethylaminoethanol (Deanol) Gel about?
**Background/aims:** Beyond subjective assessments, the effect of skin tensors is difficult to assess. The present 2‐phase randomized double‐blind split face study was designed to compare the effect of a gel containing 3% 2‐dimethylaminoethanol (deanol, DMAE) with the same formulation without DMAE. **Methods:** In a first pilot study, sensorial assessments and measures of the skin distension under suction were performed in eight volunteers. In a second study conducted in 30 volunteers, shear wave propagation was measured. **Results:** Large interindividual variations precluded any significant finding in the first study. The DMAE formulation showed, however, a significant effect characterized by increased shear wave velocity in the direction where the mechanical anisotropy of skin showed looseness. **Conclusion:** The DMAE formulation under investigation increased skin firmness.
