Methodology
Randomised controlled trial of an oral hyaluronic acid supplement with objective corneometry, cutometry and wrinkle imaging endpoints

Supplementation improved hydration and elasticity measures, while wrinkle depth changes were smaller and less consistent across sites.
Conclusions
Oral hyaluronic acid reliably improves hydration measures; anti-wrinkle effects are more modest.
Limitations
Short duration; industry sponsorship; limited demographic diversity.
Supplements Studied
Supplementation improved hydration and elasticity measures, while wrinkle depth changes were smaller and less consistent.
Outcomes Measured
