Brief Summary  
Argireline can help increase collagen production. Increased collagen production can
result in plumper-looking skin and improved skin elasticity, leading to reduced visible wrinkles.
Topical niacinamide provides benefits on skin such as , improving appearance of texture,
hyperpigmentation, and red blotchiness. In addition, it also helps in improvement in wrinkles,
firmness (elasticity), and sallowness (yellowing).Niacinamide and Phytic acid also gives a skin
brightening effect.
FirmX, which contains all the above mentioned ingredients is claimed to reduce the appearance
of expression lines, improve skin texture and skin radiance.
This purpose for this study is to evaluate the benefits of the serum objectively by using 3D
imaging and skin GlossMeter and subjectively by self-assessment questionnaire
