About this study

We will perform a cross-sectional survey study to understand the significance of age-related skin changes to consumers. We will recruit participants through ResearchMatch (a national free and secure online tool) and collect the following data:

Demographic information, including age, gender, race/ethnicity, geographic location, and yearly household income

  • How do participants feel towards their own skin and age-related skin changes?
  • Which aging-related skin changes are the most significant?
  • What factors affect how participants feel towards their skin?
  • What role do age-related skin changes play in other aspects of the participants' lives, such as their social and work life?
  • What treatments are participants currently seeking, and what are their goals for these treatments?
  • How much do they prioritize these treatments?
  • What else are they hoping to do?

Using the demographic information, we will also analyze whether there are differences with:

  • Age
  • Gender identity
  • Racial/ethnic identity
  • Marital status
  • Geographic location
  • Yearly household income
