The Claim
Oral supplementation with 60 mg/day of a hyaluronic acid matrix for 12 weeks reduces the skin erythema index by 23.3 AU on the periocular area in healthy women aged 35–65.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Taking 60 mg of a hyaluronic acid supplement daily for 12 weeks lowers skin redness by 23.3 AU around the eyes in healthy women aged 35 to 65.
See the scientific wording
Oral supplementation with 60 mg/day of a hyaluronic acid matrix for 12 weeks significantly reduces skin erythema index by 23.3 AU on the periocular area in healthy women aged 35–65, suggesting a potential anti-inflammatory effect on the skin surface.
When hyaluronic acid and related molecules are taken by mouth, they reach the skin and help it hold more water. This improves the skin's structure and reduces swelling and redness in the tiny blood vessels just under the surface. As a result, less red light is absorbed by the blood, and the skin appears less red.
What the research says
1 studyThis study found that women who took a daily hyaluronic acid supplement for 12 weeks had less redness around their eyes compared to those who took a dummy pill. The redness was measured with special tools, so it’s not just how they felt—it’s an actual change.
