The myth that a collagen cream can improve your skin’s health or reduce wrinkles has been debunked by numerous experts. The creams have been around for years and most people know they don’t work. The latest things are the pro-collagen creams.Pro-collagen creams stimulate the production of new cells and elastic fibers. Some of those cells will produce pro-collagen molecules, which means that the levels of the protein in the skin should increase. The benefits should include thicker, firmer and smoother skin.
A variety of compounds are used in the pro-collagen creams. The benefits of the finished moisturizers depend on the concentration of active ingredients and the inclusion of cheap fillers or irritating ingredients.
The active ingredients are those that have proven to stimulate skin growth or collagen-content in clinical studies. Some of them include peptides, bioactive keratin, coenzyme Q10, avocado extract and wakame kelp extracts.
Cheap fillers include petrolatum, mineral oil and paraffin. Those are petroleum based ingredients. They are derived from crude oil. They will clog your pores, cause breakouts and are prone to contain cancer causing contaminants.
Water is an ingredient in every pro collagen cream. Although people are often disappointed to see it listed as the main ingredient, water is a skin moisturizer. Plus, the fact that water is needed to rehydrate plant extracts and other ingredients.
