What does Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline do for the skin?

Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline helps to improve skin elasticity and firmness by supporting the skin's natural collagen production. This can lead to a reduction in the visible signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles.

Is Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline a type of collagen?

No, it is not collagen itself, but a derivative of hydroxyproline, an amino acid that is a major component of collagen. It acts as a collagen booster, helping the skin to produce its own collagen.
