NEWS: Ditch the collagen

Scientists have revealed today that topically applied collagen products has – literally - no effect on out skin.

The collagen molecules are too large to pass through the epidermis, or top layer of the skin, so just sit on the surface waiting to be washed away. The bottom line – any anti-ageing products with high volumes of collagen probably aren’t going to work, so save your pennies!
