Oral Collagen vs Topical Collagen

Hydrolyzed collagen peptides exhibit a reduced molecular size in comparison to full collagen, which enhances their bioavailability through both topical application and oral ingestion. While topical collagen aids in moisture retention and skin rejuvenation, recent studies suggest that the oral consumption of hydrolyzed collagen peptides may be advantageous. Ingesting these peptides has been shown to significantly stimulate the body’s endogenous collagen production, thereby promoting superior skin rejuvenation and improving firmness and elasticity. This evidence underscores the potential benefits of oral collagen supplementation as an effective strategy for enhancing skin health.
