Collagen (topical)

What is Collagen?

A structural protein used topically as a humectant and film-former; hydrolysed or low-molecular-weight forms are common in Korean products. Topical collagen does not replace skin collagen, so claims should stay on hydration and surface smoothing. Marine and bovine sources are not vegan.
