If you’ve ever tried collagen in your skincare routine before, you probably have realized two things: it is a powerful ingredient that can drastically reduce the appearance of signs of aging, and it can be pretty expensive.

Collagen works so well for anti-aging beauty because it is a protein that is naturally produced in the body to help build healthy and strong skin and hair cells. However, as we get older our bodies’ collagen production drops – and this starts happening as early as in your twenties. Introducing new collagen into your skin can help your skin to rebuild itself by erasing fine lines and wrinkles, strengthening the moisture barrier, firming and smoothing skin and promoting a bright and soft complexion.

Though collagen products can be quite pricey, we did some digging and found collagen serums you can shop in a drugstore that cost less than $30.
