Improvement of dermal parameters in aged skin after oral use of a nutrient supplement

摘要

PurposeSkin aging is a progressive and degenerative process caused by a decrease in the physiological functions of the skin tissue. In addition, environmental factors as well as concomitant diseases and lifestyle (nutrition, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, etc) negatively impact the aging process. An association between oral administration of collagen peptides combined with vitamin C and extracts of Hibiscus sabdariffa and Aristotelia chilensis (Delphynol^®) (Eximia Firmalize Age complex^®) on dermal thickness was studied and the improvement in aging signs was evaluated.
