Anti-wrinkle pill cuts crows' feet by up to 30 per cent

Research results from trials on 480 post-menopausal women in Britain, France and Germany suggest that popping pills three times a day can help shrink wrinkles from the inside.

The pills, comprising vitamins C and E along with compounds from soya, tomatoes and omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oils, activate "master" genes which boost collagen levels and improve skin tone.

The research found that after subjects took the pills just three times a day for 14 weeks, their "crow's feet" became 10% shallower on average. In the most successful cases, the wrinkles shrunk by 30 per cent.

Skin biopsies taken from participants in one of the French studies showed that a fifth of women who took the pills had significantly higher amounts of fresh collagen in the dermis – the bottom layer of skin – than those who took the placebo.

Next month, Unilever will release the product in 44 spas it co-owns in Europe and Canada. The pills won't be tested by any regulatory agency in these countries because the ingredients have already been approved and the company isn't claiming that the pills make you healthier.

Nichola Rumsay, of the University of the West of England's appearance research centre, said: "We should be accepting wrinkles gracefully. Someone should develop a pill to stop people worrying about their appearance.

"That would make people a lot happier."
