I have read about face creams etc but it’s very difficult to identify the truth from the marketing. From what I can tell, the whole industry is nonsense and preys mostly on insecure women. It seems like there is no way to prove it since if the results are less than expected, the reply would be “imagine how much worse it could have been.” Maybe too many questions but is there any correlation between cost and effectiveness?

Not a scientist or anything, but from my own research etc collagen generally seems to be a scam. Collagen indeed is the “netting” of our skin to make it tight, when it’s loose we get wrinkles, so they’re not lying.
However collagen are long protein chains that cannot penetrate our skin in the first place, so applying it topically wouldn’t do anything. Collagen foods go to our stomach, and are broken down into, well not collagen, so it doesn’t help if if we ate it anyway.
The no1 method to prevent wrinkles is sunscreen, like many will say, apply it everyday. Why? Cause the thing that breaks down collagen is UV light, and there’s tons from the sun. The reason why the advice is to apply it even when it’s cloudy, is cause there’s always UV rays regardless if it’s that hot or not.
