The Claim
A 12-week daily regimen of hydrolysed collagen plus vitamin C reduces facial wrinkle depth by 19.7% compared to placebo in adults aged 40-60 with crow's feet, as assessed by profilometry Rz index.
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 a daily combination of hydrolysed collagen and vitamin C for 12 weeks reduced wrinkle depth around the eyes by nearly 20% compared to a placebo in people aged 40-60.

When you take the hydrolysed collagen and vitamin C supplement, your digestive system breaks the collagen down into tiny protein pieces called peptides. These peptides travel through your blood to your skin, where they tell your skin cells to make more collagen. Vitamin C from the supplement helps your body build strong collagen by acting as a helper in the chemical process, and it also protects your existing collagen from damage caused by sun exposure and stress. Over 12 weeks, this process increases the amount and quality of collagen in your skin, making wrinkles less deep.
What the research says
1 studyThe study tested the same supplement and found that it reduced wrinkle depth by about 20%, just like the claim says, so it supports the claim.
