antioxidant
Ketocarotenoid with singlet-oxygen quenching capacity approximately 6000× greater than vitamin C; crosses lipid bilayers to protect membranes.
Astaxanthin is a antioxidant backed by early but promising evidence (evidence tier 3 of 4). We track 3 studies for it, 3 reporting a positive effect. It is typically effective at 0.01–0.1% in a formulation.
Nutrients · 2021 · meta analysis
Meta-analysis of 8 RCTs of oral astaxanthin (4–12 mg/day, 4–16 weeks): significantly improved skin moisture (SMD 0.53, 95% CI 0.05–1.01) and elasticity (SMD 0.77, 95% CI 0.19–1.35) versus placebo; wrinkle-depth reduction was not statistically significant (SMD −0.26, p=0.11); evidence limited by small sample sizes.
Journal of Dietary Supplements · 2021 · systematic review
Systematic review of 11 studies: oral astaxanthin 4–12 mg/day improved skin moisture and elasticity; topical 0.01–0.1% reduced crow's feet; most studies were small (n<50) and industry-funded; independent replication needed for wrinkle endpoints
Acta Biochimica Polonica · 2012 · rct · n=36
Combination of oral (6 mg/day) and topical astaxanthin for 8 weeks significantly improved crow's feet wrinkle depth, skin moisture, and elasticity versus placebo; oral-only and topical-only showed smaller individual effects
