Let’s say you have a limited budget, limited time, and limited patience with taking a ton of supplements each day. Where do you start if you’re searching for supplements to promote healthier, younger-looking skin?
Good news: you don’t need a hundred supplements or expensive ingredients to whip up daily green smoothies with added-in elixirs. Instead, it helps to follow the advice of experts who live and breathe health and supplements. Case in point: Neuroscientist Robert W.B. Love breaks things down for us on TikTok so that we can invest in three simple supplements that he says can “reduce wrinkles.”

Here are three supplements to take for great skin.
1. Fish Oil
The high omega-3 fatty acid content in fish oil can help boost your skin’s hydration levels, which reduces flakiness from dry and irritated skin. It has anti-inflammatory properties that can curb acne breakouts and conditions such as eczema and fish oil even strengthens your skin barrier and can aid in collagen production for smoother, more supple skin.
2. Collagen Peptides
There has been some controversy and discussion over whether collagen peptides are too large to penetrate skin and make an impact in your skin’s texture, but Love stands by them. “By consuming collagen peptides research has shown that women have fewer wrinkles,” Love says. This supplement can even help you have denser muscles and bones, which is important as we age and lose bone density and muscle mass.
3. Hyaluronic Acid
When taken topically or internally, hyaluronic acid can help “increase skin moisture,” Love says, and help reduce wrinkles. You can find a number of serums on the market, in a variety of price points, that contain hyaluronic acid. But you can also take hyaluronic supplements, which are usually sold as capsules.
