Collagen - Does it Work??

Collagen is a hot trend, and not just in the skincare and beauty industries. As a catchphrase, we have to ask ourselves: does it really work?

What is Collagen?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. It is an important part of the skin as well as other connective tissues in the body, including ligaments, tendons and muscles. Collagen makes up 70 percent of the dermis and is produced by fibroblasts. Over time, collagen production slows, leading to fine lines and wrinkles, sagging, and even poor healing.

What Does it Do?

Collagen is not generally known for its water-binding abilities; We usually use hyaluronic acid for this. However, this retention capacity makes collagen very effective for use in moisturizers and is an excellent skin protectant. In addition, collagen can prevent transepidermal water loss, making it an alternative to combat dehydration.

Whether applied topically or taken as an oral supplement, there is growing evidence that collagen can help repair not only the skin but also the joints and speed up wound healing.

Collagen is a popular ingredient in both skin care and nutritional supplements. It is the most abundant protein in the body and is considered the scaffolding of the skin. As with all natural aging processes, collagen degrades over time, leading consumers to overproduce it. Taking collagen supplements can be helpful in slowing down skin aging; However, topical application of collagen has never been shown to stimulate collagen synthesis. To regain that youthful look to your skin, alternative treatments and products may be a better option.
