Vitamin C Skin Hydration Meta-Analysis1 The phenomenon of aging is inescapable and is characterized by multiple clinical manifestations, including wrinkles, reduced skin density, loss of elasticity, xerosis, uneven pigmentation, telangiectasia, sagging, and impaired wound healing.1Nukaly Houriah Y. (2026)Oral and topical peptides for skin aging: systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Vitamin C Skin Hydration Meta-AnalysisPeptides act as signaling molecules that mimic the body's natural processes to stimulate collagen synthesis, as well as enhancing other extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as hyaluronic acid by fibroblasts, help to rebuild the skin's structural integrity, resulting in improved skin texture, reduced wrinkles, and increased elasticity and hydration.1Nukaly Houriah Y. (2026)Oral and topical peptides for skin aging: systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Vitamin C Skin Hydration Meta-Analysis2 4 A prime example of the efficacy of oral supplements is hydrolyzed collagen peptides, that significantly improved skin hydration, elasticity, roughness, and density in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial ().1Nukaly Houriah Y. (2026)Oral and topical peptides for skin aging: systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Vitamin C Skin Hydration Meta-Analysisp p Oral polypeptides significantly improve skin hydration (Mean Difference [MD]: 5.80,< 0.01) and wrinkle reduction (MD: 0.35,= 0.05), outperforming topical formulations.1Nukaly Houriah Y.
