The Latest Collagen-Boosting, Anti-Aging Skincare
Collagen-boosting skincare unsplash Let's face it: Collagen reduces the appearance of wrinkles and minimizes sagging. As we get older and produce less collagen, we may turn to collagen supplements to stimulate collagen production, but it can also be applied topically. There are also collagen-boosting skincare products that contain ingredients like vitamin C or retinol, which help stimulate collagen production, as well as peptides. Collagen as we know it, which is made up of amino acids glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, is not just in our bones. It's a protein that helps give your skin structure and elasticity. Even though there is no scientific evidence to support topical collagen boosting internal collagen production, collagen face creams have grown in popularity in recent years, which aim to help slow down premature aging. Fan favorite skincare brand Neutrogena recently worked with Kenvue's dermatologists to develop patented, micro-peptide technology, which plays a key role in the Neutrogena Collagen Bank Moisturizer and Neutrogena Collagen Bank SPF Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30. According to Star Walsh, Director of Skin Health R&D at Kenvue, research shows that beginning in your 20s, the average person loses up to one percent of their collagen every year. 'With younger generations increasingly concerned about their skin, Neutrogena recognized the importance of providing Gen-Z and younger millennials with a science-backed, pre-aging product line at mass, ensuring consumers have access to effective skincare solutions at an affordable price,' she said.

(Photo byfor Neutrogena ) Getty Images for Neutrogena Kenvue worked with dermatologists for eight years to create these new moisturizers, which are designed to strengthen the skin's existing collagen and promote the building of new collagen. 'It leaves the skin visibly plump and glowing,' said Walsh. Neutrogena's SPF Moisturizer is ideal for daytime. 'It is formulated with SPF to defend against one of the biggest collagen-depleting environmental stressors—the sun. Meanwhile, the Collagen Bank Moisturizer is ideal for nighttime. 'It's formulated with Bakuchiol, a retinol alternative that helps defend against damaging skin aggressors and helps preserve natural collagen,' she said. 'It protects collagen levels following exposure to UV rays, reduces collagen-depleting MMP enzymes, and stimulates cell turnover to complement skin's vital collagen,' said Walsh. 'When used together, these Collagen Bank Moisturizers are clinically proven to visibly improve five early signs of collagen decline; fine lines, radiance, texture, firmness, and elasticity.' Other brands tuning into collagen bandwagon include the brand medicube, which has a Collagen Jelly Cream that boosts your skin, while First Aid Beauty has an Ultra Repair Firming Cream with Peptides, Niacinamide + Collagen. Peter Thomas Roth's FirmX Collagen hydra-gen face and eye patches help give a youthful glow, andKatini Skin's Collagen Boosting Oil Serum helps brighten the skin and is helpful for those who have dry skin.

Beyond your typical supplements, Revive Collagen is a liquid collagen drink supplement, which helps with marine collagen to help skin, hair nails and joints with reishi mushroom, folic acid, selenium and vitamins. Marine collagen has a smaller molecular size compared to other forms like bovine collagen, making it easier for the body to absorb and build skin elasticity, hydration, and strength. 'Our carefully selected ingredients include Type 1 hydrolyzed marine collagen and key vitamins, which work synergistically to promote youthful skin, strong hair, and resilient nails,' said Jen Mackinder, resident nutritionist at Revive Collagen. 'As we age, our natural production of collagen declines, which can lead to sagging and wrinkles. Studies have shown that collagen supplementation works wonders increasing collagen levels in the skin, leading to improved firmness and elasticity.'

'Hydrolyzed liquid collagen is the most bioavailable way to ingest collagen, due to the fact collagen peptides are broken down in the hydrolysis process, which allows for better absorption,' said Mackinder. 'On average, you'd need to take 20 collagen tablets to get the same dose as one of Revive Collagen's liquid sachets,' she adds. 'With a 90 to 95 percent absorption rate, its active ingredients work quickly from the inside out to help achieve younger looking skin from within.'

Collagen is out, sea moss is in — so I tried a tablespoon every day, and this is what I really think
Touted as 'the plant-powered rival to Collagen' and loved by celebrities like Bella Hadid and Kim K, sea moss is having its moment in the spotlight as a potent superfood that can supercharge your health and wellbeing. But is it fad or fact? I decided to take a tablespoon every day and find out for myself. The benefits of sea moss are said to include boosting skin health, immunity, gut health and thyroid function while reducing inflammation. It's a nutrient-dense bomb of beauty benefits that people are using as a 100% natural skincare supplement — no tablets, capsules, or powders in sight. Could sea moss transform my skin? Here's what I really think. Sea moss is part of the red algae family found in places like the Caribbean. Its scientific name is Chondrus crispus, which I (personally) think is catchier for the market, and incidentally sounds like either a character from the Harry Potter franchise or my future rap name. It's also low in calories and fat and is packed full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and iodine. According to Wyld Herbs (more on that shortly), sea moss promotes natural collagen production to improve skin health, fight inflammation and boost immunity. Its fiber and live bacteria content can also support optimal gut health. Sea moss contains iodine, which supports thyroid and hormone function; however, it's worth consulting your physician first if you have a thyroid condition and use medication already. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Then there's the iron content, which can help battle tiredness and fatigue and boost energy, and nutrients like calcium and phosphorus are also present. Although your diet should ideally contain all the vitamins and minerals you need, sea moss is a great supplement to include to give you that little extra boost. Prices start from £15, depending on the product, and can be shipped internationally, although you may have to pay extra for imports. You can also mix and match flavor bundles before checkout. A common method for consuming sea moss is a gel, which is what I've been using. I used Wyld Herbs, which offers sea moss gel in a range of flavors such as turmeric, raw honey (sourced from local beekeepers) and strawberry (my favorite — it tastes like a jam tart!). There are other ways to consume, but I found this the easiest, as I could just swipe a tablespoon straight from the jar. I also sometimes added it to smoothies, shakes, or my go-to oats recipe. Wyld Herbs works with female farmers and wild forages their sea moss from protected Caribbean waters. You can even apply it topically to your face twice per week as a mask if you prefer. Sea moss is high in iodine, so intake should be discussed with your physician if you have a thyroid condition and use medication. General guidelines suggest that one to two tablespoons of sea moss gel consumed daily is safe for most people. The British Dietetic Association doesn't recommend consuming brown seaweed or kelp every day, though, and warns against using seaweed or kelp supplements as iodine levels can vary. You should also avoid sea moss gels if you are pregnant or have a seafood or shellfish allergy. First, the sea moss gel I used tasted delicious, so I consumed it each morning straight from the jar or added it to my smoothies or oats, opting for one heaped tablespoon. I do have a thyroid condition, but didn't experience any adverse effects using this amount. However, always listen to your body, and as mentioned before, ask your physician if you're unsure. I'm going to say straight up that I've been using this product for more than a month, and I haven't noticed any physical or mental benefits so far. That isn't to say that consuming extra vitamins and minerals isn't doing my body good, but I haven't noticed a change to my skin or physical well-being that I can chalk up to sea moss. I'm enjoying the product, and it's a great low-fat and low-calorie topper for yoghurts, oats, or smoothies — or even just straight from the jar when you're feeling peckish. But I wouldn't stray from a balanced diet or expect a wonder cure for your skin, gut and well-being needs. Further research is needed, and I'll be reporting back if I notice any changes to my health over the coming months. Although sea moss is related to seaweed, the majority of research supports the health benefits of seaweed as opposed to sea moss specifically. The benefits are reported to be similar, but the research is (at this stage) limited. A 2021 study suggests marine seaweeds contain 'bioactive components that promote a healthy diet,' listing properties like anticancer, antiviral, antihypertensive, antiinflammatory, neuroprotective and antifungal — to name a few. However, it adds that seaweeds can accumulate heavy metals and minerals, so consumption should not exceed the recommended daily allowance (150 mcg for adults). A risk assessment published by Environmental Science and Pollution Research suggests 4g per day of dehydrated Irish moss seaweeds contributes 'greatly' toward the recommended daily allowance for iodine in children (roughly 25.7%). A study published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine on Chondrus crispus (sea moss) found that it could have prebiotic effects, improving gut health and immune modulation. However, the research was conducted on animals (rats) and not on humans. It's promising, at least, but a gamechanger in tablespoon form? Not yet.
