Overview
Hydroxyproline is the main amino acid found in collagen and is necessary for collagen synthesis.
Often presented as dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline, a format that penetrates the skin more easily, this ingredient is said to promote collagen synthesis and reduce the visible signs of aging by enhancing skin tone.
However, more research must be conducted to verify this claim.
