Lingonberry and Amla May Improve Wrinkles

A 2019 study found that women who drank an extract of lingnonberries and amla (Indian gooseberries) had significant improvement in wrinkles compared to placebo over 12 weeks. Skin elasticity, skin thickness, and stratum corneum (the outermost skin layer) water content also significantly improved with the drink. Lingnonberries and amla can cause gastrointestinal or other side effects.
