The Claim
Daily oral supplementation with 5 g hydrolyzed collagen and 80 mg vitamin C for 16 weeks reduces periorbital wrinkle volume by 13.8%, maximum wrinkle depth by 16.9%, and indentation index by 8.5% in women aged 40–65, as measured by 3D multispectral analysis.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Taking 5 grams of hydrolyzed collagen and 80 mg of vitamin C every day for 16 weeks reduces crow's feet wrinkles in women aged 40 to 65. The treatment decreases wrinkle volume by 13.8%, depth by 16.9%, and a measure of skin roughness by 8.5%.

When you digest the collagen supplement, it breaks into tiny protein pieces that enter your blood and travel to the skin. There, they tell skin cells to build more supportive fibers like collagen and keep them from breaking down. Vitamin C helps this building process. Over time, the skin becomes thicker and firmer, making wrinkles less deep and less visible.
What the research says
1 studyThe study tested the exact same supplement (collagen plus vitamin C) in the same age group for the same amount of time, and found that wrinkles got smaller and less deep, just like the claim says.
