Two new studies published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology have revealed promising effects of krill oil supplementation on skin barrier function

The research, which involved 101 healthy adults with normal to slightly dry skin, explored the impact of different krill oil doses on transepidermal water loss as well as secondary outcomes like skin hydration, elasticity, and the omega-3 index.

Both studies showed that daily intake of krill oil, at 1 g and 2 g doses, significantly enhanced skin barrier function, improved hydration, and increased elasticity compared to a placebo group.
