In recent publications much attention has focused on skin changes as a consequence of ageing. During life many internal and external factors have an influence on the condition of the skin but ultraviolet radiation seems to be a major factor in both benign and malignant alterations. To retard the deterioration process, more than cosmetic concern is necessary. In a pilot study, a fish protein product is shown to have the capacity to ameliorate, both objectively and subjectively, the symptoms of photo-aged skin. Recommendations are made for further evaluation.
