What the gurus are saying

Collagen molecules are too large to penetrate skin, so this moisturizer works as a humectant, but experts disagree on whether it's worth the price. The more positive view highlights the humectant blend including Tremella fusiformis and panthenol, plus palmetto oil pentapeptide that may help support collagen production. However, others find the ingredient list underwhelming for the cost, and the price puts it in competition with higher-end brands.

"Collagen creams, L'Oreal, Olay, all of these brands are responsible for putting collagen all over their creams and selling a simple moisturizer for three times the price just because collagen. Like you can't test collagen, you can't apply collagen because the molecule is too large for it to be absorbed into skin naturally. What you end up getting in all of these creams is hydrolyzed collagen which is basically a great humectant, much like hyaluronic acid."

"The Olay Collagen Peptide 24 has a very sad ingredient list. It's not a terrible product, but if you really are looking to combat aging, looking at some peptides in your routine, this just isn't it. Especially the price, these are almost going to be a very similar price, which in the long run for a drugstore brand to be almost as much as some of these Sephora products."

"This is actually a pretty good moisturizer. Collagen is really large and can't actually get into the skin in skincare products, but it has moisturizing properties as a humectant. This also has Tremella fusiformis which is a humectant, and it's got palmetto oil pentapeptide that in theory can help improve collagen and panthenol."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Peptides

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.
