Chapters

Hey, Dr. Idris, what do you think of this new collagen moisturizer? Well, well, well, well, well. What I appreciate is that it's not just a collagen moisturizer, because collagen moisturizer means nothing. A collagen moisturizer alone is not like it's going to renew your collagen. However, when you look here, pro collagen peptides, that makes all the difference, because they're not trying to work off of your insecurities and your fears or your misunderstanding that collagen is going to renew your collagen, because it's not. The peptides are. What I also really like about the product is that it is squalane glycerin, and they're not trying to work on hydration and hyaluronic acid, because that's such an easy game to work off of. The beauty industry is worth billions of dollars. And guess who's leading the pack? Hyaluronic acid.
