I'll be brutally honest here: you've pretty much been scammed, anybody selling "proprietary" collagen creams and such is taking advantage of your ignorance of biochemistry. Namely, collagen molecules are simply to large to be absorbed into the skin, they just sit there doing nothing.

Not quite been scammed yet as I was wise enough to ask here before buying xD.

What about tablets, would they work any more effective? I have heard both of them being great for younger looking skin to be honest, including smoothing out wrinkles etc. I was having a look at the reviews on Amazon.

I haven't seen any solid evidence thus far, the most reliable way to increase collagen production is still with topicals, specifically retinoids or Vitamin C, which you can make at home for next to nothing.

What about Extra Virgin Olive Oil?

I have been using this for the past few months and seen huge improvements, mainly in evening out the skin tone and reducing red spots, but It seems to have helped smooth out my scars quite a lot too.

Although I seen good results, I'd still like to know if it may help to push the collagen?

As far as I know, olive oil doesn't substantially boost collagen production the way those other topicals do. But its a great moisturizer, that always helps.

What you're likely seeing is a temporary plumping effect, it's basically the illusion of fullness. But that all really depends on what kind of scars we're talking about.

Thanks for the advice. You mentioned "homemade" tropicals.

What about lemon juice? That is high in vitamin C, so maybe that would work to speed up the collagen.

My scaring is in the topic I have just created:

Lemon juice is too acidic and can end up irritating your skin in the long run. I was talking about making Vitamin C serum, you buy the powder and dissolve it in distilled water, there are a whole bunch of guides available, just google it.

Thanks! I will give it a search tomorrow.
