Collagen skin cream this and collagen anti-wrinkle cream that. You see it all the time on TV commercials or online ads. Their $100 anti wrinkle cream claims to have collagen that is absorbed into your skin and reduce wrinkles. So you order it and add it to your skin care regimen.

You use it for a few weeks waiting for the wrinkles to disappear. And what happens?

Not much. You're out $100 and you still have wrinkles to worry about. And then you chalk up another product into the scam category and on to the next product.

Let's back up and discover why this type of product will not work for you.

Collagen is a crucial ingredient of our bones, skin, cartilage, and tendons. It is a vital building block or your skin. It makes up almost a third of bodies. It is also produced naturally by the body. As we get older our ability to produce collagen decreases and that's when wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin starts to appear. And it's at this point that collagen based anti-wrinkle cream ads look more appealing.

But this is where you are likely throwing your money down the drain. Collagen is too large to be absorbed by the skin. That is why there are collagen injections. If collagen was absorbable through the skin then you could just rub it on and everything would be fine and the wrinkles would disappear. Then we wouldn't have Botox or collagen injections. If only it were that easy.

Anything that says it contains collagen does you no good, since it won't get under your skin to provide any benefit. You are better off with an injection. Or you can try to boost your collagen production from the inside out with the foods you eat.

Recent studies have shown there are creams that can help you boost collagen production. Those provide a better alternative than the ones claiming they have collagen in them that will be absorbed in your skin.

Anti-wrinkle cream advertisers and manufacturers hope you don't find out the truth about their collagen based anti wrinkle creams. They would rather sell you the promise of better looking skin for $100 a pop. But now you know better. And that will save you hundreds of dollars a year easily.
