28 healthy female subjects took 6 mg of astaxanthin supplement and applied astaxanthin topical product (manufactured by Fuji Chemical) for 8 weeks. Crow's feet condition was evaluated before and after the study. 

of wrinkles that are simultaneously confirmed by both dermatologists  and instrumental assessments (see studies below). 
In this light, AstaREAL� Astaxanthin can be extremely beneficial to manufacture new or upgraded products line that satisfy emerging needs of modern women for all daily cycle. Sepcifically, AstaREAL� Astaxanthin can used to produce skin care creams and supplements for antioxidant skin protection usually applied in the morning before the "daily skin battle".

For instance, in the Asia Pacific region 35 people out of 1000 suffered from dermatitis and 90 from recurrent eczemas (Asia-Pacific Center for Skin Ageing, 2010).
Therefore, AstaREAL� Astaxanthin can be added to existing products in order to increase resilience against hyperpigmentation and anti-inflammatory responses. Finally, in-vitro studies demonstrated that AstaREAL� Astaxanthin protects fibroblasts and favor collagen production despite UVA irradiation (Tominaga et al, 2009).
