5 Reasons Women Over 35 Are Making This Crimson Microalgae Softgel Part of Their Skin Routine

Radiant skin doesn't only come from what you put on it.

Serums, creams and masks all work on the surface. But a growing number of women are adding something to their routine that works from the inside: astaxanthin, the deep-red carotenoid antioxidant that gives wild salmon its color. Researchers in Japan have been studying its effects on skin for more than a decade. Now, with INNAREVE Astaxanthin+ For Her, you can get 12 mg of natural microalgae astaxanthin in MCT oil in one simple daily softgel.* Here's why women are making the switch.

Five Reasons You'll Love This Daily Skin Ritual

Your skin is hungry for fat-soluble antioxidants – and this one comes already dissolved in oil

Astaxanthin is a fat-soluble carotenoid, which means your body absorbs it best alongside fat. Research on oral astaxanthin found that lipid-based formulations improved its absorption compared with a standard supplement format.³ That's why INNAREVE Astaxanthin+ For Her suspends every dose in MCT oil inside a soft, easy-to-swallow softgel – and why we suggest taking it with a meal.*

“I am trying astaxanthin+ For Her from innareve with fairly modest expectations. I am pleased so far, with hydration being the part I keep coming back to.”

Skin hydration that starts from within

Moisturizer works on the surface. Astaxanthin works differently: it's taken daily and supports skin moisture from the inside.* In a 16-week placebo-controlled study in healthy Japanese women, skin moisture and wrinkle measurements worsened in the placebo group over the dry autumn months, while the groups taking 6 mg or 12 mg of astaxanthin did not see the same decline.¹ INNAREVE Astaxanthin+ For Her delivers 12 mg per serving, the higher dose used in that study.

★★★★★

“I notice fewer of those suddenly-parched-looking afternoons at my desk. I've been interested in how innareve astaxanthin+ For Her fits my approach to skincare.”

– Teresa G. · Verified buyer

Natural microalgae astaxanthin – never synthetic

Much of the astaxanthin produced worldwide is synthetic, made mostly for fish feed. INNAREVE Astaxanthin+ For Her uses only natural astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis, a red microalgae that produces it to protect itself from intense sunlight. It's never synthetic or petroleum-derived and is formulated to match authentic Japanese astaxanthin protocols. Natural algal astaxanthin is also the form used in much of the published skin research.²

★★★★★

“Keeping a steady routine has made it easier to notice when my skin looks comfortable. I wanted a skincare routine that felt a little more intentional. I chose astaxanthin+ For Her from innareve with skin hydration in mind. I like noticing a small difference without making a big production of it.”

– Gladis M. · Verified buyer

Supports elasticity and the look of fine lines*

As we get older, everyday oxidative stress from sun, screens and dry air takes a visible toll. Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect collagen from that everyday oxidative stress and supports skin elasticity.* In published human studies, natural astaxanthin from H. pluvialis was associated with improvements in skin elasticity and the appearance of fine lines.² INNAREVE Astaxanthin+ For Her makes it a simple daily habit – no new steps added to your skincare routine.

★★★★★

“I like a fresh finish that doesn't require much effort to maintain. My skin seems a bit more supple, which gives it a younger-looking finish. That's my impression while trying innareve astaxanthin+ For Her.”

– Kellie R. · Verified buyer

Made for women 35+ – with a bonus for tired, screen-weary eyes*

INNAREVE Astaxanthin+ For Her was created specifically for women who want radiant skin that starts from within. And astaxanthin's benefits go beyond skin: in a randomized, placebo-controlled study, adults aged 40+ who took astaxanthin daily for six weeks better maintained their visual sharpness after long stretches of screen work.⁴ Just take 1–2 softgels a day with a meal.*

★★★★★

“I tend to notice dryness before I notice anything else about my face. So far with innareve astaxanthin+ For Her? The texture is still real skin, but it looks less coarse to me.”
