Recommended for pure hydrolyzed collagen powders: Great Lakes Collagen Hydrolysate Positives: silica-free / silicon-dioxide-free sodium benzoate-free / benzoic acid-free stearic acid-free / magnesium stearate-free hypromellose-free / hydroxypropyl methylcellulose-free Negatives: (none) All ingredients: Collagen hydrolysate (kosher, beef). There are others listed in the above link. Doctor's Best and Neocell were not recommended but I can't tell why Great Lakes is better (beyond being from grass fed cattle-which I'm still not sure is super important for collagen supplement) Doctor's Best Best Collagen Types 1 & 3 Positives: silica-free / silicon-dioxide-free sodium benzoate-free / benzoic acid-free stearic acid-free / magnesium stearate-free hypromellose-free / hydroxypropyl methylcellulose-free Negatives: (none) All ingredients: Collagen types 1 & 3.

Sun protection of all types - sunscreen, hats, avoidance. Number one thing you can do for your skin.
Not smoking is probably number two for skin but number one for overall health. Skin is significantly affected by the health and number of capillaries in it. Smoking damages them, cardio makes them healthier. Those are both prevention which is much more effective than treatment but there is a lot for anti-aging skin treatment now days. I'm a real believer in mild exfoliation and use a Clairsonic with a Delicate brush a few times a week. But I worry that we will find in 10 or 20 years that long term and frequent use of Retin A will cause some women's skin to thicken and toughen. That's based on my understanding of skin from my nursing background but I'm not a specialist in dermatology. I've had red light therapy and micro current from an esthetician for years but then have not been able to do them regularly in the last two. They have to be done regularly to be effective. I can tell the difference and just ordered this from Sephora to start doing microcurrent at home. I'll probably get the red light head for it, too, at some point.
