I think the neocell and doctors best simply because they were the only type 1 and 3 collagen supplements I found.
Type 2 collagen is mainly for joints and ligaments.
Types 1 and 3 are more for the skin.
I found this....
Overall, the amount of collagen in the skin tends to decline with age. However, different types of collagen behave differently. In particular, a child's skin has a lot of collagen III, the type is common in fast growing tissues. The abundance of the type III collagen is partly responsible for the softness of the young skin. As the body growth slows down, the skin content of type III collagen declines, while that of type I increases. In fact, type I collagen continues to build up until about the age of 35, when the skin reaches the peak of its mechanical strength. After that, type I begins to decline as well. The dynamic of age-related changes in other collagen types remains unclear. However, we do know that by the age of 60, all types of collagen are significantly below their youthful levels.
I think its fabulous for the skin...I'm in my late 40's and have taken it for years. My age is usually assumed to be in my early to mid 30's. Which is always good for a laugh when I'm out with my 28 year old daughter.
I think your face thins as you age...and this just adds a bit of poof to everything. My skin is also so soft. I'm scared to stop actually.
