A randomized, triple‐blind, placebo‐controlled, parallel study to evaluate the efficacy of a freshwater marine collagen on skin wrinkles and elasticity
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology Oct 02, 2020
Evans M, Lewis ED, Zakaria N, et al. - In this randomized, triple‐blind, placebo‐controlled study, researchers tested the effectiveness and safety of a hydrolyzed marine collagen (Vinh Wellness Collagen, VWC) on aspects of skin health and quality in women between 45 and 60 years of age. Using the VISIA skin analysis system, Cutometer, and Skin Quality Visual Analogue Scale, assessments of skin wrinkles, elasticity, and self‐reported appearance were performed. Participants supplemented with VWC had a significant 35% decline in wrinkle score from baseline after 12 weeks. A 24% greater reduction in wrinkles on the right side of the face was found by participants in the VWC group than those on placebo. VWC group participants showed a higher percentage of improvements in overall skin score and wrinkle, elasticity, hydration, radiance, and firmness scores relative to placebo at week 12. Overall, the authors concluded that supplementation with VWC has been found to be safe and well‐tolerated. The use of fish‐derived hydrolyzed collagen for improving skin health in an ageing population was supported in this analysis.
