Ingestible Collagen
Collagen-infused powders and supplements may have had a big moment this year, but much like facial rollers, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Sonia Batra, MD, argues that there isn't much science to back up any product claims.

"Because collagen is the most plentiful protein in the body, ingested collagen typically will find its way to other organs, muscles and bones tendons and won't necessarily help your skin," she explains.

But should you be looking for the extra collagen boost, Batra recommended beefing up your nutrition instead. She notes that eating a nutrient-rich diet containing protein, vitamin C, zinc, and copper can contribute to the creation of collagen.
