Can You Really Add More Collagen to Your Skin?
Many claims have been made, either directly although most are indirect, about the effectiveness of collagen cream. There is no doubt that it can improve one’s skin condition, but does it do it by adding more collagen into the skin?
No. That is because collagen is made up of very big molecules that cannot be absorbed by our skin. What this means is the collagen molecules are left on top of the skin. This is actually good because collagen can trap the moisture and let it stay on our skin for a longer time. This in turn keeps our skin ideally moisturized. For this purpose, a collagen cream or lotion is therefore an effective moisturizer.
So before you get too confused whether you can increase your skin’s existing collagen content, remember that you cannot do so through topical means. However your skin can still benefit greatly from using a collagen cream.
