Dermatologist Shereene Idriss reviews three collagen skincare products and finds collagen molecules are too large to penetrate skin, so topical collagen likely does nothing. She checks ingredient lists and explains why peptides work better than intact collagen.
Here. You just have a question. Yeah. What's the difference between all these collagen products and do I actually really need them?
That's a really good question, because collagen has been on the market for so many years and everybody is so geared to thinking they need it in their skincare routine. But do you really? Three products. We have l', Oreal, we have Olay, we have Neutrogena. I'm not sponsored by any of these guys. This says collagen moisture filler. The reality is, when you look at the ingredient list, collagen is all the way at the bottom in the form of a soluble collagen. First of all, it's really weak. It's probably not high enough. But second of all, and more importantly, it's way too big to get absorbed into your skin. It's like putting a piece of chicken on your face. Yeah, it's eight bucks, but don't be fooled. You're getting zero collagen out of this. Olay and Neutrogena. This says collagen peptide. This says collagen Triple lift serum. Which one is worth your money? Ole. One has a peptide also known as Palmitoyl penta peptide 4. Whereas the Neutrogena hydrolyzed collagen.
