Collagen is a component of the human body, known to have a beneficial effect on human health when consumed as a food or dietary ingredient. This double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AP collagen peptides (APCP) containing 3% glycine-proline-hydroxyproline, on improving skin wrinkles, elasticity and hydration. Totally, 105 subjects with crow’s-feet wrinkles were randomly assigned to receive either placebo, APCP 1,000 mg or APCP 1,500 mg, once daily for 12 weeks. Efficacy endpoints of skin wrinkles, elasticity and hydration were measured at baseline, 6 and 12 weeks, and at the 2-week follow-up visit. Compared to the placebo group, the visual evaluations and R3 (average roughness) values of crow’s-feet wrinkles were significantly decreased in both APCP groups at 12 weeks, and these effects were maintained until 2 weeks after completion of ingestion. During the intake period at 6 and 12 weeks, three parameters for skin elasticity (R2, R5, R7) showed significant improvement in both APCP groups, as compared to the placebo group. The APCP groups also showed a statistically significant difference in skin hydration compared to the placebo group, at 12 weeks and at 2 weeks after the end of intake. No adverse effects were encountered during the study period. These results indicate that APCP 1,000 mg and 1,500 mg can be used as a functional food ingredient to improve human skin conditions related to skin aging and hydration.
