Collagen is essential for maintaining skin strength and elasticity, but recent claims about its efficacy from supplements and topical applications are contested. Dr. Afshin Mosahebi of University College London highlights the need for more substantial peer-reviewed studies to validate the benefits of collagen supplements. He notes that age-related changes in collagen do affect skin appearance, but supplementation alone won’t reverse this. Instead, Mosahebi recommends a balanced diet, sun protection, no smoking, hydration, and proper skincare for better skin health.
Mosahebi states there's no direct evidence that collagen supplements significantly benefit skin appearance beyond sufficient dietary protein.
He emphasizes that collagen supplementation won't lead to immediate skin improvement, as the process involves complex absorption and usage throughout the body.
