In women, Estrogen is the main hormone that stimulates collagen production
In men, DHT is the main hormone that stimulates collagen production
This is a huge reason for collagen a large part of facial attraction. Women with high collagen have high estrogen levels, signaling fertility. While men with high collagen have high DHT levels, signalling potency and masculinity.
This is why if you take DHT-blocking drugs such as finasteride you are an idiot. You are cucking your main sex hormone. Testosterone alone isn't enough, DHT is 5-10x more potent than testosterone, and doing the math that means it is responsible for around 75-80% of your masculine traits (big dick, chiseled face). It is not a big surprise that this super hormone is also the main collagen secreting hormone in men.

Action of androgen on fibroblast collagen synthesis: a receptor-dependent response. - Pediatric Research
Several groups are still investigating an "in vitro" biological response of androgen action. The purpose of this study was to determine whether dihydrotestosterone (DHT) influences the secretion of collagen by cultured foreskin fibroblasts raised from patients with normal or undetectable...
