Summary

This study is testing whether taking collagen peptides by mouth for three months can improve the skin barrier in women aged 45 to 70 with dry, sensitive skin. Seventy-five participants will receive either a low dose, a high dose, or a placebo (flavored water). The main goal is to measure changes in skin barrier function on the face using a device called a Tewameter.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: collagen-derived peptides (dietary supplement)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a simple daily supplement to improve skin hydration and barrier function for women with dry skin.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with no phase designation, so results may not be conclusive. Dietary supplements often show modest effects, and the placebo response can be strong.
