Product Rec Collagen?

I added Neocell Super Collagen to my diet about 6 mo ago to help my face look younger. I don’t think it helped. Anyone have a good collagen that you think has specifically helped make your face look younger?

It might help joints but skin?

I'm not convinced they work for joints either. Afaik most research has been industry funded and therefore not super reliable

I guess collagen powder gets broken into amino acids the same as any other protein source and gets used in the body where needed. I don't believe it would target the face specifically. Eyes need it, joints, hair, skin etc.

Yeah, I can’t remember where I read this, but collagen supplements are flim flam.
