The Claim
Oral supplementation with 60 mg/day of a hyaluronic acid matrix for 12 weeks reduces skin scaliness by 0.8 SEsc units 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 milligrams of a hyaluronic acid supplement daily for 12 weeks reduces skin flakiness around the eyes by 0.8 SEsc units 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 scaliness by 0.8 SEsc units on the periocular area in healthy women aged 35–65, indicating improved skin surface integrity and reduced flaking.
When hyaluronic acid and related molecules are taken by mouth, they reach the deeper layer of the skin and cause cells there to make more water-holding material. This extra water moves up to the outer skin layer, making it smoother and less dry. As a result, the outer skin cells stop falling off in large flakes and instead shed evenly, reducing flakiness.
What the research says
1 studyThis study found that women who took a daily hyaluronic acid supplement for 12 weeks had noticeably less flaky skin around their eyes, and the test results proved it wasn't just a feeling—it was an actual improvement.
