(Br J Dermatol. 2017. 176(5):1231-1240) Double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover study: Lycopene-rich tomato nutrient complex with phytoene and phytofluene, lutein, placebo; N=65 men and women (30s-50s) Compared to placebo and lutein alone
Protect skin against damaging effects of UVB and UVA radiation
Completely inhibited UVA1 & UVA/B induced genes involved in solar radiation induced skin damage including: matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) a key enzyme involved in collagen breakdown & thus photoaging of skin and those involved in oxidative stress (heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)) and skin inflammation (intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1))
Significant improvement in skin dryness, roughness, suppleness, evenness & texture
↑skin radiance, evenness, hydration, smoothness, suppleness, elasticity
Participants reported more beautiful, visibly younger & healthier looking skin

↑ in skin density & thickness
↓ in skin scaling & roughness
Benefits on epidermis and dermis

Topically applied carotenoids NOT as effective as orally administered treatments
Topical: Stored in the stratum corneum for only short period of time due to desquamation, tactile contact, washing, and environmental stress
Oral: stored in body fat tissue, slowly released into skin layers over time
