Efficacy outcomes included skin luminescence, color, trans-epidermal water loss, moisture content, gloss, elasticity, firmness, wrinkle depth, surface roughness, and collagen distribution. Safety was assessed using a dermatological assessment and subject-reported intolerance questionnaire for adverse events. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; INDUS1530 significantly improved skin hydration and wrinkle depth, while INDUS1520 significantly reduced transepidermal water loss compared with Placebo. Both creams showed a trend of decreased skin roughness and increased collagen distribution, although this difference was not statistically significant between the groups. All treatments, including Placebo, increased skin gloss. No adverse events or skin irritation were observed. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;Both fenugreek seed extract creams were well tolerated and demonstrated potential anti-aging benefits, with INDUS1530 showing more pronounced effects on skin hydration and wrinkle reduction. These findings support the use of standardized fenugreek seed extracts as safe and effective ingredients in anti-aging skin care products.&lt;/p&gt;
