Many advertisements these days proclaim a products use of collagen and/or elastin on increasing the texture of your skin. These structural proteins are often claimed to have magical qualities when applied to the skin. However, the truth of the matter is, when added to a product, collagen and elastin has absolutely no benefit to the skin. The only benefit products get by adding collagen and elastin to a product is improve its consistency, making it silky smooth.
Here is Why
Collagen and elastin are proteins found in all animal's skin, including our own. These proteins makeup the dermal layer of the skin, the healthy layer. However, collagen and elastin, when infused in a product, cannot be absorbed into the skin because their molecular size is too large. Adding further, if you take these proteins out of a human or animal source, the proteins are dead. Therefore, even if they could be absorbed into the skin, they would be inactive and provide no benefit. The only collagen and elastin our bodies can use is that created by our own cells and tissues.
If it were Beneficial
For a moment, lets consider adding collagen and elastin to a product was beneficial and our skin could absorb it. It would be important to take note of the quality of the proteins used. Most of the collagen and elastin found on ingredient lists are "soluble collagen" or "hydrolyzed elastin". This means the manufacturer has actually cut the proteins into tiny pieces. Therefore, even if it were beneficial, you are not getting true collagen and elastin; you are only getting pieces of these proteins.
Conclusion
Adding collagen and elastin to a product provides no benefit to your skin; it only improves the consistency of the product, making it silky smooth to the touch. Beware of products marketed with the ploy of increasing the texture of your skin with an infused collagen and elastin complex.

Thank you very much! I really appreciate the comment! :)
ReplyDeleteAs a side note, the experts in the sector should know this, if they don't, they are just being ignorant. Adding collagen and elastin in products increases its marketability and thus profitability.
It may not actually benefit the human body, but I bet you most people think it does. That's the sad truth in the skincare industry.
Thanks,
