Making this post as a counter to @likenesss retarded collagen guide that just showed up in my feed.
Preface:
-Water intake and diet barely impact collagen production.
-DHT doesn’t lower collagen, it raises it. DHT lowers elastin. Despite common belief on this forum, nuking your DHT is retarded bc DHT serves important biological functions at every age. Stop post-finasteride-syndrome maxing.
Things that have been proven to significantly impact collagen synthesis in the dermis:
2g Vitamin C-Ester-c daily
0.025-0.1% tretinoin (the higher the better)
tazaratrene instead of tret if you’re a beast
1mm dermastamp weekly
200mg/kg bovine collagen
15m 670nm red light daily
aloe vera
3-16% ghk-cu serum
3% estriol
2% progesterone
5% melatonin
