Our Members Asked:
Do any supplements reduce wrinkles, increase skin elasticity, or tighten the skin?
Answer:
Several dietary supplements, as well as a topical vitamin, have been evaluated for improving signs of skin aging, but not all seem to work.
Sign in as a member to learn which seven supplements might have some benefit for reducing wrinkles and which three may not help. Supplements discussed include astaxanthin, biotin, bone broth, cocoa, coenzyme Q100 (CoQ10), collagen, phytoceramides, rosemary extract, soy, and vitamin E.
Also see our article about supplements that may be helpful for protecting the skin from sun damage, as well as our article about topical estriol (estrogen) creams, which are available over-the-counter and as compounded drugs.

February 11, 2025Collagen made a huge difference in the skin elasticity around my neck. Have some strange issues (dermatologists have been no help) . One of which looks like Poikiloderma of Civatte with a loss of elasticity around my neck. I took 10 grams of Walmart Equate brand collagen (cheapest I could find, no affiliation) and enough of the skin structure came back that I could shave again without hacking up my neck. Even being careful and almost hovering over my skin with a beard trimmer would result in multiple small cuts on the front of my neck before the collagen.
Wasn't even taking it for that. Was just hoping it might help my joints a bit. Didn't notice any difference in my joints ironically.
