Collagen is responsible for giving our skin its fullness and elasticity and isn’t only found in the fillers from plastic surgeons. It’s also in several over-the-counter products, including ones at your local drugstore. From moisturizers to masks, brands are loading up their formulas with collagen peptides.

Collagen-infused products don’t just stop at topical creams. There are also several ingestible options such as supplements and powder that help speed up your body’s collagen production from within. As with any product, you should always be sure to read all of the labels and check with your doctor before starting a new regimen.

These products aren’t going to be as potent as injections. But if you are patient and consistent, you’ll definitely reap the benefits such as minimizing the appearance of wrinkles, increasing the skin’s density and improving elasticity.
