The Truth About Collagen Creams: Can They Really Reverse Aging?
Collagen has gained immense popularity in the beauty industry as the ultimate anti-aging solution. Countless cosmetic companies have launched luxurious and often expensive collagen creams, promising to prevent or even reverse the visible signs of aging. But are these creams truly worth the hype? Can they live up to these lofty claims? To find out, let’s delve into the science of collagen.
What is Collagen?
Collagen is quite simply the most abundant protein in the human body. It accounts for approximately 80% of your skin and serves as the structural framework for healthy bones and connective tissues. Optimal collagen levels are associated with the desirable traits of youthful skin: firmness, plumpness, elasticity, and a soft, radiant appearance.
However, the inevitable truth is that everyone’s collagen levels begin to decline over time. Factors such as smoking, sun exposure, and the natural aging process all contribute to this loss. In fact, on average, individuals lose about 1% of their collagen each year from their twenties onward.
Given that collagen loss is a primary driver of skin aging, collagen creams might seem like the perfect solution. Unfortunately, most collagen creams on the market are, for the most part, ineffective. Here are three key reasons why:
1. No Topical Collagen Product Can Increase Collagen Production
There’s a common misconception that collagen creams can stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. Regrettably, this is a myth. No known cosmetic substance has the magical power to kickstart your body’s collagen production.
Some companies suggest that long-term use of a “high-quality” collagen cream can elevate your skin’s collagen levels sufficiently to combat the effects of aging. This notion may provide a comforting sense of security, but it is contradicted by scientific evidence.
2. Collagen Molecules Are Naturally Massive
Collagen molecules are not only complex; they are enormous. A single collagen molecule resembles a lengthy rope of intricate protein fibers that twist into a sophisticated triple helix. The intricacy of these molecules is responsible for their role in maintaining skin elasticity. However, it also means that collagen molecules are far too large to penetrate the outermost layer of the skin (the epidermis). Thus, while expensive collagen creams may feel pleasant on your skin, the collagen itself is washed away, having no meaningful impact.
3. Limited Scientific Evidence for Efficacy
In the end, most companies cannot offer compelling scientific evidence that their products genuinely enhance skin appearance. Some brands cite anecdotal evidence from a small number of satisfied customers who believe their cream improves the look and feel of their skin. However, this is, at best, a temporary illusion. Any moisturizer can temporarily reduce the prominence of wrinkles by smoothing the skin’s surface. Nevertheless, the fundamental issue remains: your collagen levels continue to decline, and your skin will continue to age.
So What’s the Solution?
Despite this seemingly discouraging reality, it’s essential to note that not all collagen creams are ineffective. Research indicates that hydrolyzed collagen peptides, which represent a modified form of collagen molecules, can genuinely enhance skin elasticity, hydration, and the appearance of wrinkles.
Introducing Modere CellProof
Modere CellProof features a unique cosmetic-grade hydrolyzed collagen known as BioCell Collagen® CG. This natural matrix of collagen peptides and hyaluronic acid is distinct for its patented Bio-Optimization™ process, which yields collagen micro-molecules of the ideal, optimal size. Notably, this is the same collagen featured in the top-selling and multi-patented Liquid BioCell® supplements, supported by the award-winning Collagen/HA Matrix® Technology.
Modere CellProof: Backed by Clinical Trials
Does it work? Yes, indeed. Results have been quantified and documented in two third-party clinical trials that assessed CellProof Serum. Participants used the product daily for a full month and underwent evaluations at two and four weeks to measure visible changes in their skin.
The outcomes were compelling:
- 100% experienced increased skin hydration at two and four weeks.
- 80% experienced improved skin tone at two weeks.
- 85% experienced an improved appearance of skin texture within four weeks.
- 92% experienced increased exfoliation within four weeks.
- An additional clinical trial of CellProof Serum showed a significant reduction in the appearance of wrinkles.
Moreover, a panel of impartial industry experts conferred their endorsement. The Modere CellProof Essentials collection (comprising Infusion Mask, Serum, and Moisturizer) was honored with the Editor’s Choice accolade in the 2020 Beauty Shortlist Awards for natural, eco-friendly, and ethical beauty. So, in addition to benefiting your skin, CellProof Essentials also aligns with environmental sustainability.
