NCT ID NCT07792447
First seen Aug 28, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026
Summary
Researchers are testing whether a 12-week program combining an antioxidant-rich diet with structured facial exercises can reduce wrinkles and improve skin quality in women aged 45 to 50. Participants are randomly assigned to either follow the program or maintain their usual lifestyle. The study measures changes in crow's feet wrinkle depth and other skin outcomes using standardized imaging before and after the program.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A 12-week program combining an antioxidant-rich diet with structured facial exercises
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a drug-free, at-home approach to reducing wrinkles and improving skin quality in middle-aged women.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is small and early, and results depend on participants sticking to the program. Skin changes may be modest or vary widely between individuals.
