WHICH SERUMS HELP BOOST COLLAGEN ON FACE??

Dazlin — Wed, 21 Aug 2024 19:35:23 GMT

I already use Retin A at night, and take a collagen peptide in morning.

Do any serums help with collagen on the facial area....have any of you used and liked?? Please advise me...thank you!!

The only serum I use is Beekman's Vitamin C serum which I love! Not to go off topic here and I'm not sure if this would help at all but I recently discovered Nuetrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel moisturizer and I am blown away by the results! I was in a hurry one morning and also used it on my neck and it works better than my Prai neck cream which I really like.........@SilleeMee is the person to ask.

Retinoids, vitamin C and niacinamide will all increase collagen production when applied to the skin.

Topical Vitamin C will also help build collagen. As for an actual collagen serum, I've been using one from Lab Direct and another from CosRx. Do they really work any magic? I'm sure the RetinA and a good Vitamin C serum do more, but I like my collagen serums for surface plumping.

@Dazlin @JeanLouiseFinch @LindaSal @SilleeMee

I use all of them mentioned so far, but the one I see the most immediate results with is Matrixyl.

I use C serum too, and sunscreen 🙂...just been thinking if I should add another serum/peptide.

My derm suggested laser or microneedling, professionally done if I want to help boost collagen, elasticity plus added benefits they may add...figured I'd ask about a serum 1st

@LTT1 , I haveTimeless Matrixyl...I stopped using it because I use retin A at pm, then C in am, so I honestly didn't know when to combine Matrixyl or if it's needed...I didn't know it helps collagen either.

I like Algenist Liquid Collagen serum. also, Pacifica makes an entire line of various products that all use Vegan Collagen. Good ones to try, not saying any are miracle workers.

Collagen molecules in serum are too big to penetrate the skin. Collagen is protein and with any protein it holds moisture so it's a good moisturizer...helps keep the skin plump so fine lines and wrinkles are less visible. Topical collagen does not build collagen in the skin.

@Dazlin -

This is the first one I bought from Lab Direct.

I don't see it on ShopLC right now so I'm wondering if they are replacing it with this one...

If you shop on the Beauty Beaker website, they may have these. They have one by Doctors Preferred that seems similar when you compare ingredients.

And, yes, CosRx products can be found on Amazon.

I feel like I need to add if you have very sensitive skin, sometimes you aren't able to profit from some of this, and maybe it causes redness and irritation.

I have found that if you eat a good diet it does an awful lot for your skin. Your body needs the nutrition it needs to keep your skin healthy. And for some of us, makes a gigantic difference in the health of y our skin.

Adding this not to disagree, but to let some folks know that some of us can't tolerate a lot of these helpful products.

That's an excellent point, @Sooner. When I changed my diet five years ago and got off sugar and some other things, my complexion improved.

ETA - I also do long intermittent fasting 20:4 which is excellent for the skin, to rid the body of damaged proteins.

@JeanLouiseFinch I have no basis for this except experience from my life, but I do believe that the moisture you get from fruits and veggies really does boost your skin's appearance. I can tell that if I don't get it my skin starts to look not as good, no how much water I consume.

Dazlin — Wed, 21 Aug 2024 23:15:26 GMT

@JeanLouiseFinch Looks good!! Do you use both together...I see cosrx is more like a toner? Also can these applied after C serum

SilleeMee — Wed, 21 Aug 2024 22:12:19 GMT

There's this thing called skin glycation and it has to do with collagen in aging skin. It's rarely talked about but it has a lot to do with diet. You can look it up. There's just too much to talk about it here.

🤔 hmmmm...so why bother?? Then I could just use a moisturizer?? Arrrggghhh, I was believing they promote collagen...I looked at lab direct and CosRx...sounds so promising

@Dazlin

The serum I use is somehow linked to the peptides.

I will get a pic of it.

Here is the one I have had such good luck with
