The review brings together human and animal research, but its abstract does not quantify visible skin benefits or identify a proven product.
Systematic review of 176 studies, synthesized narratively rather than statistically pooled.2025
30-second takeaway +
The review describes ways carotenoids may influence skin aging, including effects on oxidative damage, inflammation, and the skin’s structural support. It also discusses hydration and elasticity. However, the abstract combines human and animal evidence without separating their results, so it cannot establish how much a dietary or topical carotenoid would improve someone’s skin.
Keep in mind: The studies differed in design and outcomes, preventing pooled analysis. The abstract gives no separate human effect estimates, treatment durations, or detailed bias findings, limiting conclusions about practical skincare benefits.

A review reported improvements in skin measurements, with uncertainty about study bias and how noticeable the changes were.
Systematic review and meta-analysis of 10 randomized controlled trials.2025
30-second takeaway +
The pooled results favored oral collagen for measured skin hydration and elasticity. These findings suggest improvements in those specific measurements, but the abstract does not establish whether people noticed a difference in their skin. It also does not show that any particular dose works better than another.
Keep in mind: This abstract-based explanation cannot resolve unclear study bias or differences between studies. Most trials could not control weather-related factors, and the authors could not assess publication bias.
