Yea but as long as you injest it from the foods that are building blocks to collagen- NOT a collagen powder in a drink which is also as useless as applying to the skin
As a dermatologist myself , I can approve what she said with the certainty . Because collagen is something that only works from inside , not from serums or, creams . Collagen tablets are best for a boost up in skincare Hope it helps❤❤
right. problem is ppl want results within few minutes they cannot wait and these companies promise for faster results and lure them for their profits and ppl happily get scammed.
Still not quite true. Collagen is a protein and once you ingest it, like any other protein, the body splits it into amminoacids (protein bricks) which get send where protein production is more needed, not necessarily collagen for a glowy skin. Also, collagen is the most abundant protein in mamnals body, and it's mainly found in connective tissue.
@@ggd3579 Right! The simple answer is just eat a healthy balanced diet. Humans, and all the other animals, have been doing that since the dawn of time, and we've managed pretty well with it. The body makes collagen from raw materials, including vitamin C, it doesn't just pull it in from your intestines then slap it onto your skin! I'm not exaggerating when I say 90% of the cosmetic "youth" industry is bullshit and nothing else. And 90% is being conservative. They spend their money on marketing, not ingredients. The clever new ingredients are added for the sake of marketing, so they can mention them in the ad. It's not like their customers are all biochemists. You've no idea what that stuff actually does, so people take the company's word on it. The company that wants to sell you a pot of basically-moisturiser for an absolute fortune. It's one of the world's big scam industries. Just use moisturiser, sunscreen, and eat a good diet. That'll do 10x more than an overpriced pot of sciencey-sounding gunk. And whoever said women can't have wrinkles anyway? As I get older I find myself attracted to people my own age, like I always have. You start to appreciate how people look as they go through life. It's not ugly or horrifying. Just ordinary and human.
I hate it when they end the video without completing it. People who do this are greedy. They should have put (Part 1 of 2) to let the viewers know that the video is incomplete.
Glad she mentioned the ingredients list, because its the same with our food... the BEST way to know what you're ACTUALLY getting of benefit, whether its your skincare or food, is when you look at the back or side, & notice where certain ingredients fall on that list... if the ingredient is mentioned in a prominent way on the marketing or packaging, yet its closer to the end of the ingredient list, with a whole bunch of filler ingredients - what MOST well known skincare lines are doing BTW - then its really NOT going to do much for you... & this is why so many skincare lines take weeks or months to start to show ANY evidence of working, this is how they keep you buying... so PAY ATTENTION to the ingredient list! Whether you're grocery shopping, or skincare shopping. Don't just buy something, because the marketing or the number of social influencers promoting it... sales psychology IS a thing. EDUCATE yourSelf on what you're ACTUALLY getting from the investment...
You're right. But when you mention it taking months to show a result, that might just be wishful thinking. You might just be having a good skin day and falsely thank the expensive skin stuff for that. It's all marketing. Sunscreen, avoiding sunlight, enough water, and enough vitamin C will keep your skin young more than any ridiculous tub of nothing.
@@rstewart2691 229 likes on my comment, so I highly doubt I mentioned something "people already know"... & if MOST people knew, they'd be doing it, lol... & NO, they do NOT teach people HOW to PROPERLY read & UNDERSTAND the ingredients list on the side of food containers in HS... move on with your trolling commentary...
The Olay product uses collagen as a surface filler. It acts sort of like a primer and moisturiser combined. The serum utilises the collagen to strengthen it's filmogenic properties - which means it pulls the skin tighter as it dries and acts as a skin bra until you wash it off. The collagen peptide acts on the surface to improve various skin concerns. Nothing that you can buy from a mass-market cosmetic manufacturer is going to have the power to make long-term improvements to your skin. That can only be achieved by treatments from a licensed aesthetician, cosmetic doctor, surgeon or dermatologist. However, using a mass-market cosmetic product such as any of the three you just showed, will help to prevent trans-epidermal water loss and preserve the health of the skin, regardless of the ingredients (because none of them has active ingredients that are powerful enough to correct the skin, by law).
@@mumiyumi7554 they are both for different skin conditions. I'd recommend getting a skin analysis if you can to find out which conditions you have. They are always treated in a certain order - sensitisation first and dehydration. This is because dehydrated skin can create or contribute to the sensitivity and gives off a false reading. After that, comes everything else - tone, texture, pigmentation etc. Some conditions are long term, such as dehydration, which you should continue to address with a serum and moisturiser containing hyaluronic acid, through every season.
@@beautycirclepro ok, thanks so much for answering, just felt like she didn’t finish the other two and was left wondering.😂 Have a great week/weekend.😀
Collagen won't affect the collagen in your skin or add any collagen to what you have, just as you stated. It is a nice humectant, though. The way it is advertised is deceptive, but it's not useless.
The marketing people put in deceptive descriptions based the extent of how the regulations will allow them to go. They even sue each others for false advertising to check the boundaries.
I used to put a cream which had collagen advertised in it. That cream mad my wrinkles disapeared on my forehead. I believed it was thanks to collagen until I got wiser on skin care products. It's a bit 🤢 to be lied that way, indeed. 😮💨
I see collagen in skincare similar to hyaluronic acid. The regular molecules are too big and are more for the surface to trap moisture - but then there’s brands with “5 different weights of HA” with the smaller ones claiming to penetrate and provide deep hydration. Do you think this is the same for collagen? I’ve seen more brands (specifically in Korea) release products with micro-collagen, hydrolyzed collagen, etc - and claim to penetrate. What are your thoughts?
I like collagen cream/sunscreen in the winter, because those big, sticky collagen molecules help to keep my skin from flaking in the day, as it keeps my top layer of dead skin cells glued down a bit. It does nothing to improve skin health, it is strictly cosmetic and temporary. It just helps to stop my peeling winter skin from flaking(especially around the mouth from moving) until I wash my face.
You need to remove the flakey skin to help renewal. Nutrimetics has an affordable microdermobrasion gives incredible smoothness and i lovr the radiance beauty balm that is amazing as under makeup smooths everything out. Also doubles to moisturize neck really nicely. Message me if you want some to try.
Try exfoliating instead of gluing down dead skin. If you used glycolic acid a few times a week, that should take care of the flaking. And if you struggle with dryness in the winter, put a more heavy duty moisturizer under your sunscreen. Maybe one with ceramides
@@shireads2954 My skin in the winter is cracking and flaking, because my skin barrier is messed-up. The last thing I want to do under those circumstances is to further irritate my skin with chemical or manual exfoliation that will disrupt my skin's acid mantle. What I want is to cosmetically improve the look of my stratum corneum under my make-up, while slowing down trans-dermal water loss in low humidity environments. Ceramides are also helpful, especially Ceramide NP I have found, but those BIG FAT collagen molecules are a god-send when you need to go outside in -20C and near zero humidity. The heavy duty creams "I" like best for "me" during a polar vortex are the ones with some collagen. When I wash my face at night, my hands themselves will likely provide all the exfoliation I need. To do more can just cause a never-ending cycle of dry, irritated skin, especially if you use prescription retinoids, like I do. I am 40y, and glycolic acid just doesn't hit the same anymore; same with SA. Even when I was in my 20's with acne, there was no way my skin barrier could have handled a glycolic acid peel more than once a week without the risk of redness or irritation. I DO sometimes use a lactic acid or similarly mild PHA "Sleep Mask" when I want to turn over some skin cells - but not in the winter, and never on flaking/irritated skin.
She totally brings up a lot of drug store brands that I started using because of her! Vanicream cleanser, L'Oréal glycolic acid, No 7 vitamin C. All those have been avail at my nearest CVS and super affordable

Topical collagen to me is only really beneficial for makeup priming the skin when needed or if you have dry skin in need of a surge of radiance and suppleness. I do hate how the industry implies that collagen is absorbed through the skin though. It's an entirely temporary effect and I wish more brands educated consumers on this.

Yes yes yes. Whenever i use it, my skin is glowing thr next morning 😂 Even my friend now follows me in using that product. Sadly, now I don't live in the US anymore and l'oreal don't sell that product here, and I have to buy from someone abroad, and it is almost 40 USD 😢 I guess, I need to travel to US to stock up that l'real moisturizer 😂
Korean skin care still has collagen in it because they understand that it is a very good humectant and keeps the moisture in not because it’s going to change anything on your skin. It’s more about prevention then reversing. Collagen, technically, doesn’t change your skin, but it can effectively moisturize it keeping the top layer protected. When we use moisturizer we’re not looking for it to penetrate the skin. We’re looking for it to cover the skin and any skin care we’ve layered underneath it.
I see collagen in skincare similar to hyaluronic acid. The regular molecules are too big and are more for the surface to trap moisture - but then there’s brands with “5 different weights of HA” with the smaller ones claiming to penetrate and provide deep hydration.

What are your thoughts?
@@CRCC830 I’ll admit Korea has some good technology, but some some of that micro stuff is just fluff. I would stick to just understanding the basic use of collagen in their skin care. It’s gonna do the same thing whether it says micro or whatever.. it’ll have the same effect and will just moisturize the skin. Actually, in Korea hyaluronic acid is not a prized ingredient. It’s still used in many of their products . Glycerin ceramides and other humectants ( like ginseng) are what people gravitate towards. Hyaluronic acid is not something that I gravitate towards all the time because I travel a lot and hyaluronic acid is terrible in dryer climates. It would actually have the opposite effect. There’s no water in the air to pull from so it will literally pull the water out from your face. I find that when I’m in a dryer climate, I have to layer some kind of spray water and add humectant, and then seal it with a ceramide. For colder climates I literally put all of those products plus the tiniest bit of cerave ointment or baby butt cream ( triple paste diaper) And I have oily skin. I’m not putting down multi molecular hyaluronic acid down at all. I would say the hyaluronic acid is a very good ingredient for all skin types in the right climate. I hope that helps. 💕
@@CRCC830 I also want to add that the thing that’s been changing my skin. The most is the timeless CoQ10. It has peptides in it. I don’t know how it works but it’s doing wonders for my skin.
@@user-gj9hd8dp2i Thank you! I’m afraid I have to agree - I think I was slightly hopeful but I asked ChatGPT (my new go-to resource for in-depth chemical/biological questions on skincare) and they agreed collagen no matter what form is just film / isn’t long-term beneficial
It feels great to be a med student at times like this cuz I'm not getting fooled by all these modern beauty trends. Some of those are literally unnecessary and useless. And they just want to squeez money out of u.
Anna, the nail technician from The Salon Life🙌🏻 says something like: *Applying keratin on top of your nail plate is like rubbing a chicken breast all over your quads and expect the protein to cause muscle hypertrophy. THIS ISNOT HOW KERATIN WORKS.* #spittingfactsteam 🧛🏻♀️🖤
I think olay is best option, collagen topically doesn’t penetrate from what I learned from here and peptides she is a fan of so probably the peptide one helps with collagen, so I think she ment olay
@@mimivee5494 yeah, I think so too. Honestly, I’m so happy with how much my skin has improved since following her channel. She’s got me safely using hydroquinone over here in Australia during winter. An option I had no idea about. I’m so grateful for the knowledge she shares.

The collagen molecule is so big that can never be absorbed by your skin. Difficult to absorb even ingested. The best way is to induce collagen production by heat.
The collagen cream is too large a molecule to get down to the dermis where it's needed. Ingesting a good quality collagen in liquid or powdered format with Vit C r more effective. They shoukd b at least 8mg of collagen. Vitx helps absorption. This is per Dr. Vanita Rattan who is a cosmetic formulator on You Tube etc.

True. Yrs ago, I watched a "Boston Legal" ep about what they do. They lock bunny's head in a guillitine. Then pry open their eyes to pour in experimental "ingredients". The scorching pain is often so excruciating that bunnies often break their own necks trying to eacape said guillitine. Of course, I know Boston Legal was a TV show, but the eps were based on ac🎉🎉tual cases. No, they didnt mention L'Oreal, but I immediatly followed up with research & L'oreal is one of the worst.
According to my cousin doctor when she was doing the rounds during residency, and at the time happened to be in dermatology, best quality and value is Olay in general.
You don’t put collagen on your skin. Ingest it along with collagen precursors like vitamin C and then put collagen building topical cream on your skin, like Retin-A, AHA’s, glycolic acid, etc.

Yes I know it won't absorb or replace the collagen in my skin, but good amount of good quality collagen DOES pack a punch with hydration and healing due to that hydration as collagen is a pretty good humectant. Quality and amount does matter because I got collagen face mask treatments from those velvet masks that estheticians use and the way my skin feels and looks after the session is very different from most collagen creams and serums out there. But some goods I know from kbeauty, namely Etude House moistful cream and The Saem babobab collagen cream.
Vaseline ladies!!!! It's an oldie but a goodie! After cleaning/toning/ acne treatment.... Let dry completely THEN go to all the "aging" areas and under eyes/neck and chest. Best stuff out there.
@@kasap8737ok, why are there so much disdain for dark skin? Then people who Are from the US love to tan. So that one will be great for those who like tanned skin opposed to pasty skin. People that are dark in skin tone or Melanin is because of the pigmentation. Guess what, they're HUMAN BEINGS! 🎤Dropped🤨😣🦊🐾🦋🐻🦁🐯
you dont need collagen topically on ur skin, the only way to get more collagen is to increase natural collagen production which happens when u use a retinoid or get a laser or micro needling, when the skin get damaged the skin release collagen to repair and give life to skin. so the best way is to get collagen production up or consume collagen like bone broth and broth in general, not topically..

Quick web search says L'Oreal haven't tested on animals since 1989. That's when the big hoo-ha over animal testing became big, so companies started dropping it. It was of dubious value anyway.
The L’Oréal one may not be rich in collagen as it stated, but it’s pretty rich in moisture, I love to use it at night time and it hydrates my skin really well
Yeah can't agree more. I don't really care with the collagen claim, but what makes me like to use it that it makes my skin glowing. It is a really good moisturizer
I use a Korean collagen cream, but only because it restores the moisture to my skin after I wash my face. I use a drying face soap to remove the excess oil from my greasy face, and that collagen cream restore the moisture better then traditional moisturizers. Other than that, I use collagen peptide powder.
@@monram8653 palmitoyl pentapeptide 4 is the second ingredient on the list of olay and from all forms proven to be the most effective one. Hydrolysate collagen in neutrogena isn’t specific about what type of peptide they are using, so it can be anything to not working or less working ones. + its way more down on the list. That and she actually mentioned that Olay is better in another Video
My mom has been using Olay and Lancome since her early 20s and she's now 67. She has taken such amazing care of her skin daily and people do not believe her when she tells them her age. She has NO wrinkles on her face and looks stunning without makeup on. Just take care of your skin people
They help ur ligaments, tendons and joints if you take it orally. You pretty much deal with less pain and if you pair it with turmeric then inflammation is also reduced.
One hundred percent right on that you can't absorb it and you can't even digest it. I've heard many many dermatologist say that, mrs. Pimple popper dr. Sandra Lee says collagen does not work on your skin four creams are ingesting it the best collagen is your own collagen
I have a condition that causes lots of collagen deficiency and my body doesn’t process it effectively, ingesting heaps of it is the only way that’s really helped my body (including my skin) I add marine collagen powder to smoothies, eat mostly pescatarian, bone broth whenever possible, and dark leafy greens (often in smoothies). I love skincare but a lot of skin problems can be reduced with dietary changes, I have oily acne prone skin and avoiding fried food and having small portions of it helped a lot
They're all a waste of money. You cannot absorb collagen through your skin. At least not yet. Maybe in the future. For now, you're better off trying to supplement collagen into your food or drink.
@@svgarcloudyes, peptides are actually tested so watch her video on peptides and maybe look into a cream that has peptides in it. That said, retinol is also a very good and well tested builder for collagen so you may want a cream/serum with a bunch of ingredients in it - peptides, a retinoid, melanin inhibitors etc. It would be more logical to hit your skin issues from a few different pathways. That said, don't go destroying your skin by using the ingredients too often
There's dermatologists who don't recommend taking collagen supplements when they haven't been sufficiently studied. They recommended just use collagen peptide in your night face cream routine.
true. Plus: if you could not eat it then dont put it on your skin. Put butter or cream on your skin and stay out of the Sun, dont smoke, eat well, drink lots of water, always weigh the same: you will virtually look young forever
@@BecomePneuma11235 yes you are right I use a soap too but a very mild one, honey soap but often I just splash cold water on my face, like only twice a week I use the soap. And on my meniscus torn knee I put heavy cream instead of ointments that have a chemical base from pharmacy
I learned in Cell Bio that if you throw collagen on a bunch of cells the cells will move together. Based on this mechanism, it is thought that putting collagen on your skin is a good healing mechanism. But not sure about absorption, I always thought Collagen creams smelled/felt gross anyways.
Collagen is best ingested. When next you go to your local butcher get some bones, he might give for free or you might pay a little something. Boil that and consume the broth. 👌🏾
@@dcanes5720 Right! Sunscreen, water, good diet. And actually most of it is genetics, but you can't do much about that. My family all look younger than their ages. Not bragging, just sayin'.
Omg I been using the L’Oréal one for the last month. No wonder my skin is so dull and patchy now! Ahh. Please tell us more about this drug store products 😅
Ive been not buying any over the counter creams. I tried a glass skin mask that is a recipe that indian women have used for years. I was so impressed with the results that I decided to look for more natural homemade creams for my face.
Gelatin in Jello is cooked collagen does the same thing consumed and even better then collagen because it allows your poop to move smoothly. Collagen also cant help with anti aging if you're already going through menopause because you need estrogen to get it into the cells.
I'm happy with how my skin looks and feels alternating days between the pixi glow tonic and adapalene, following with la roche posay moisturizing cream in the evening and never skipping sunblock during the day
You can’t add collagen to your face with the cream and you can’t add it by drinking a powder. It is, however, an extra boost of protein in a protein shake.
I use aloe Vera gel and then virgin coconut oil and sunscreen and I’m almost 40 I’ve tried everything through the years, nothing worked better than coconut oil.
I use the Olay one. I don’t think it improves or maintains my skin, but it does look better when applied on for the day. I recently started collagen supplements as well and after 3 weeks I already see the difference in less fine lines.
Some comments are suggesting to ingest collagen istead, but collagen is a protein and once you ingest it, like any other protein, the body splits it into amminoacids (protein bricks) which get send where protein production is more needed, not necessarily collagen for a glowy skin. Also, collagen is the most abundant protein in mamnals body, and it's mainly found in connective tissue
Please make a full video on why powder collagen doesn’t work and how to get it in our foods and how we can use skin products to make more collagen in our skin.
I consume the collagen peptides in food My body does the rest. Tropical Retinol/retinoid/Retin-A is better at restoring collagen. Retinoids increase collagen production. Retinoids are biologically active anti-aging molecules that stimulate fibroblasts to synthesize collagen fibers. This increase in collagen production can reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin color, fade age spots, and soften rough patches of skin. Retinoids also increase the production of new blood vessels in the skin, which can improve skin color. Retinoids can also inhibit the breakdown of existing collagen. Using sunscreen and moisturizers to keep skin healthy is great too
My sister and I tested the theory and we saw similar results and we saw no change with topical application but very obvious change with ingesting after just 1mos.
Never tried the creams. But I’ve used hydrolysed collagen peptides that are ingested and have seen improvements in my skin, hair and my nails grew fast and strong. I won’t stop taking oral collagen
If you want the benefits of collagen, you have to ingest it it’s usually in the form of a powder it has absolutely no taste whatsoever so you can mix it in whatever you want smoothies, water, beverages, etc. and yes it’s very beneficial in so many ways you should take it with vitamin C
Why she left without telling the best product ? Because.. For safety reasons... She read out the main ingredients to search about and compare...Avoided naming them good or bad directly (big brands) . She shared knowledge, gave hints and left safely.
A heart surgeon once told me that our bodies cannot use collagen taken externally as food or skin cream, and it has to be made internally in our bodies. But he also told me that there are many placebo effects just from how we think about something.
Yes, I have also been told before that collagen molecules are to big to get absorbed by our skin. 2 months ago I baught collagen powder to digest and it helped me with my skin and digestion! My skin was super dry before and I had a lot of digestive issues to. So i would suggest collagen powder to anybody that deals with the same.
It is like how putting protien on your hair doesn't do anything to nurish your hair it just sits there on dead cells. If you want healthy hair eat healthy. If you want healthy skin eat healthy.
