The reason why such so called collagen based “best firming skin lotions” are ineffective and an absolute waste of hard earned dollars is that the collagen in these applications cannot be soaked up by our body. Clinical trials have verified that the collagen molecule in these creams is too large to sink in the skin. In fact the upper layer of our skin called “epidermis” turns down the collagen molecule from entering within. Then what else to say about the deeper layers! You can substantiate these scientific facts by referring a skin doctor or by seeing any reputed medical web site.
