Ageing may be considered as the accumulation of diverse deleterious changes in cells and tissues. Skin ageing is one of the most important current dermatological concerns.

A double blinded, randomised, placebo controlled clinical study (Naticol ® 5g/day)

The study here reported was intended to assess the anti-ageing potential of specific fish collagen hydrolysates, Naticol®, on the ageing signs of the skin of mature women. This study also evaluated the effect of fish collagen peptides, Naticol® on several different skin locations including the abdomen skin. Assessments of this specific skin site may open new application areas, in particular, for women after giving birth or people after a heavy weight loss.
