Study Summary

This trial tests if taking astaxanthin pills can help improve skin hydration, elasticity, pigmentation, and reduce redness.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 30-55 interested in improving skin health, specifically hydration and elasticity. Participants will be selected to represent different skin types (Fitzpatrick skin type 1-6). Exclusions include pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, recent changes in hormonal contraception, use of certain skincare products, carotenoid allergies, new supplementation with tocopherol, and significant tobacco use.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if taking astaxanthin (a supplement) daily can help with signs of aging on the skin like dryness and loss of stretchiness. It's a double-blind study meaning neither participants nor researchers know who gets the real supplement or a placebo—a fake pill without astaxanthin.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Astaxanthin is generally considered safe but could cause minor side effects such as changes in skin pigmentation or redness. Allergic reactions are possible for those sensitive to carotenoids.
