Collagen fragments broken down to peptides and amino acids. Moisturize the skin surface but do not integrate into the dermis's own collagen. Marketing often exaggerates the effect.

Moisturizing

Evidence by route

Topical application

Very weak or conflicting data.

Surface moisturizing effect via water retention is confirmed. Collagen molecules are too large for dermal penetration even in hydrolyzed form. No clinical evidence of collagenogenesis from topical application.
