Collagen vs Collagen Peptides: Which is Best for Your Skin?
When it comes to skincare, the conversation surrounding collagen is omnipresent, and for good reason. With the relentless pursuit of youthful skin, understanding the difference between collagen and collagen peptides is essential. Today, we’re diving deep into these two forms of collagen, comparing them to give you a clear picture of which is best for your skin health. And don’t worry, I’ll also explain why Benjamin Button’s hydrolysed marine liquid collagen stands out among the crowd!Understanding Collagen and Collagen Peptides
Collagen is a vital protein that makes up a significant portion of our skin, providing structure and elasticity. It’s like the building block of our skin, hair, nails, and joints. However, as we age, our body produces less collagen, leading to signs of aging such as wrinkles and sagging skin. On the other hand, collagen peptides are basically the “younger sibling” of collagen. These are small, bioactive fragments of collagen that are more easily absorbed by the body. They help in stimulating the body’s natural collagen production and can lead to improved skin elasticity and hydration.Pros and Cons of Each
