Abstract

Turmeric as an antioxidant has been emerging studied for its many uses, especially for the health aspect, especially in counteracting free radicals. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of 0.25% turmeric extract cream and grated yellow turmeric (Curcuma longa) in improving skin elasticity after skin application for 21 days. The experiment was conducted in a Hasanuddin University Hospital in Makassar from March 2017- April 2017. Prospective cohort method was preferred in an observational analytic study. The subjects are women aged 30-50 years old who visited the dermatovenereology outpatient department of Hasanuddin University Hospital. A total of 13 subjects are given 0.25% turmeric extract cream, grated yellow turmeric, and vitamin C creams for the control group. All the cream was applied once a day on the right arm above the appropriate marker that has been given. The same method was applied twice daily in the upper left arm. On day 8 and day 21 skin analyzer was used to measure the skin elasticity following cream application.

The results showed no significant changes between the 0.25% turmeric extract cream and grated yellow turmeric applied once and twice a day. However, there is a tendency of increasing skin elasticity score on day 21 of 0.25% turmeric extract group.
