Marine collagen are Type 1 collagen peptides. This is the most abundant in the human body and is found in our skin, hair, bones, tendons and ligaments. Orally consumed collagen improves collagen uptake in the dermis. Collagen topically applied doesn’t penetrate the epidermis as the molecule is too large. It just acts as a moisturiser in this setting.

Since matrikines have the ability to increase the production of collagen, elastin, and other macromolecules in the ECM, synthetic peptides like palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 have been created to mimic these effects. Thus, the inclusion of palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 in the Olay Collagen Peptide 24 serum means you may notice an improvement in skin firmness after using these products. Additional key ingredients in the Olay Collagen Peptide 24 serum are niacinamide, glycerin, and panthenol. This collagen serum by Murad is said to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles in just 2 hours. The formula contains collagen amino acids, which are more easily absorbed by the skin than the large collagen protein. Collagen amino acids are thought to help the skin form new collagen, resulting in a firm, plump appearance. Murad Rapid Collagen Infusion also features winged kelp extract, which improves hydration and increases skin suppleness due to its rich supply of omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids. Collagen production reduces by 1% every year from 21 onwards. This leads to loss of skin elasticity, which causes wrinkles, dry, thinning and sagging skin. Progenix Collagen Serum is said to support collagen production for a plump and lifted look with the ingredient Pro Coll One, which provides results similar to retinol without the irritation. With daily use, Progenix Collagen Serum is said to provide a noticeable difference in as little as 4 weeks. Collagen fibres are synthesized primarily by the fibroblasts in the deeper layers of the skin. This is why replacement must happen orally.The product is meant to be taken indefinitely (give or take periodic breaks), so there may be some reversal in benefits if stopped completely. This innovative formula contains plant-derived collagen to help boosts skin structure. It’s a plant-based based collagen blend from rice, soy, carrot, quinoa, and ginseng.

Formulyst’s new Anti-Aging Concentrate is a fragrance free, highly concentrated formula that conditions your complexion and helps reduce the appearance of age spots, wrinkles, and fine lines. This serum contains Matrixyl 3000, a peptide complex composed of the matrikines palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7. These two peptides work synergistically to restore and maintain the skin’s youthful appearance by signaling to cells to produce more collagen. Numerous studies have proven the anti-aging and anti-wrinkle efficacy of Matrixyl 3000.Yes it can be consumed any time; the Peach flavour contains caffeine so you may not want this too late in the day.
