Media about us:

Diamond, gold, platinum, silver, graphite and... Vegan. There is something for everyone. Plus a supplement in capsules. The names of the products that Colway offers sound great, and the manufacturer praises them even more.

This is why we decided to take them under the microscope. Together with Ilona Krzak, M.Sc. in Pharmacy, we will present an analysis of Colway's collagens.

The following is a review of the products.

.

From this article you will learn:

.
  • What collagen products Colway offers.
  • .
  • What quality they are.
  • .
  • And whether they are worth buying.
  • .

In analysing Colway collagens, we highlighted:

.

    .
  • Technologies used - standard collagen applied to the skin is unlikely to penetrate itand. We checked how the manufacturer's claims compare to current scientific knowledge.
  • Collagen origin - affects its quality, efficacy and  safety.
  • No unnecessary additives - a definite no to dyes, preservatives and unnecessary fragrances.
  • Additional active ingredients - more for the same amount? I'm buying!
  • User reviews - no one better to evaluate a product than unbiased users. Here you can see the full criteria.
  • .

Collagen (English: collagen) applied to the skin will not penetrate into the dermis (its molecules are too large) and will only externally support the skinand. However, the manufacturer Colway claims to use ground-breaking, innovative technology. It asserts that the pure proteins in their formulations, are able to penetrate the skin.

.

What is molecular weight?

Molecular mass is the sum of the masses of the atoms in a molecule, measured in Da (daltons). Put simply: it is the way chemists measure the size of molecules.

Colway cites a study that suggests that collagen with a mass of 3500-4500 Da absorbs better than other moleculesand. Only the issue gets more complicated. According to research and what the pharmacist says, the pure collagen proteins that Colway communicates it uses have a molecular weight of between 120 000 and 300 000 Da . Previous scientific knowledge suggests that such large molecules have no right to penetrate the dermis.

This means:

.

If the collagen protein used in the product is indeed unprocessed, then it will not penetrate the dermis.

There is also some inconsistency in the communication. The study cited by Colway was not conducted on humans ... only on animal skin sections. It is therefore difficult to say in good conscience that the behaviour of this protein will be similar in humans.

Furthermore, this study mentions hydrolysed collagen, while Colway emphasises that it offers native collagen and suggests that it is the hydrolysate that has problems with absorption.

Colway claims that their collagen is distinguished by the presence of trihelis in an intact form. This structure is the hallmark of a natural youth protein.

In short, this means, the Colway collagen you buy to apply to your skin is unlikely to be absorbed (it can only provide gentle, external support).

Colway Kolagen Diamentowy

Colway Kolagen Diamentowy
  • Key ingredients: IOC Transdermal Collagen Peptides®, triple helix collagen, sodium hyaluronate, caprylyl glycol, lactic acid, elastin
  • Form: gel
  • Capacity: 50 ml
  • Directions for use: massage into cleansed skin in the morning and evening
Product description

A light gel with collagen in the form of peptides. Thanks to its lactic acid content, it can act as a moisturizer.

Why it's worth it
  • Lactic acid can have a moisturizing effect on the skin.
  • The composition is simple, there are no fragrance enhancers or preservatives.
Additional information
  • Collagen is an “empty” ingredient - it will not work on the dermis. It can only provide superficial support.
  • Elastin (like collagen) is a large protein and will not absorb into the dermis (unless it has been hydrolyzed).
  • There is no information about the size of hyaluronic acid molecules - it is very likely that it is also an empty ingredient. If they are too large, it will only provide your skin with superficial hydration.
  • Caprylic glycol can cause allergic reactions (known as hives) in some.
Expert opinion

Colway Kolagen Vege

Colway Kolagen Vege
  • Key ingredients: collagen amino acids, algae extract, sodium hyaluronate, aloe vera extract
  • Form: gel
  • Capacity: 45 ml or 95 ml
  • Directions for use: massage into cleansed skin in the morning and evening
Product description

A gel that contains a collagen protein substitute in the form of amino acids extracted from green algae. Combined with numerous plant extracts, it shows anti-inflammatory and anti-wrinkle effects.

Why it's worth
  • Algae exhibit antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties .
  • The composition is rich in numerous plant extracts (we spared you from listing all the ingredients), which enrich the product with additional care properties (e.g. moisturizing, anti-aging).
  • Birch extract soothes irritated skin .
  • Aloe vera nourishes, moisturizes and regenerates the complexion .
  • Horse chestnut improves the elasticity of blood vessels and seals them .
  • Wild rose (source of vitamin C) promotes collagen synthesis .
  • Magister of Pharmacy praises the use of natural (non-synthetic) ingredients.
Additional information
  • It's not vegan collagen but a collection of amino acids that go into making real collagen. There is a lack of research on whether these ingredients actually form collagen in the body.
  • The rich composition may be a drawback for people with allergies or sensitivities.
Expert opinion
The manufacturer, when claiming a supplement, is not verified in any wayób – it can write whatever it wants on the package. Collagen is made up of amino acidsós, but providing them to the body in a plant-based product does not make it the protein of youth (dopóki there is no research on this).

Colway Atelokolagen Złoty

Colway Atelokolagen Złoty
  • Key ingredients: tropocollagen, atelocollagen, procollagen, sericin, nano colloidal gold
  • Form: gel
  • Capacity: 50 ml
  • Directions for use: massage into cleansed skin in the morning and evening
Product description

Collagen gel enriched with gold and liquid silk. According to the manufacturer, it is supposed to show anti-aging effects and make your skin velvety to the touch.

Here we have three “types” of collagen. Master of Pharmacy, Ilona Krzak explains what characterizes these collagens:

  • Atelocollagen - does not contain telopeptides, so it causes less likelihood of an allergic reaction.
  • Tropocollagen - is characterized by large molecules. The manufacturer claims that it has a transdermal effect, that is, it can penetrate the skin. However, I could not find any studies on this.
  • Procollagen - consists of peptide chains, about the size of which there is no information. In short: it may or may not help - it is not known, the manufacturer does not provide studies.
Why it's worth
  • The sericin content can smooth your skin and make it as soft as silk.
  • Nano colloidal gold can have an antimicrobial effect.
  • Rose oil gives a pleasant, delicate fragrance.
Additional information
  • The content of geraniol, citronellol, may cause allergic reactions.
  • In the formulation you will find phenoxyethanol as a preservative. Its maximum allowed concentration is 1%, above this value it can act as an irritant and allergen. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not provide information on the content of this ingredient.
  • Whether collagen works is unknown. No studies are available.

Note

The manufacturer writes on its website, about “absolute biotechnology innovation 2022.” The patent regarding the production of collagen was filed in October 2003. What's more, on the website of the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland one can suspect (No. 362811) that the right to the patent has expired. It is difficult to interpret this situation.

Kolagen Naturalny Platinum – Colway

Kolagen Naturalny Platinum – Colway
  • Key ingredients: collagen, elastin, lactic acid, caprylyl glycol
  • Form: gel
  • Capacity: 50 ml, 100 ml, 200 ml
  • Directions for use: massage into cleansed skin in the morning and evening
Product description

Gel with a simple formulation, without unnecessary fillers and dyes. The lactic acid in the formulation makes the product moisturizing.

Why it's worth
  • Simple composition without unnecessary additives, fillers.
  • Lactic acid can moisturize the epidermis.
Additional information
  • No information on the type of collagen - it is not known if it will work.
  • Elastin is also unlikely to penetrate the dermis - it will only provide external support.

Here, too, we have user ratings on Ceneo: 4.5/5 (38 reviews). Most of them are positive and read “Great product, super moisturizing, after prolonged use you can see improvement in skin elasticity. Very efficient.”

Unfortunately, there are also less favorable reviews - “The product destroys the complexion. The skin looks tired and gray after using the cosmetic. I tried 2 times and neither time had good results. I used according to the instructions on a damp face and after it dried I applied cream. After a while the wrinkles under my eyes become more and more visible. Are all these positive reviews from Colway employees?”

And what about the rest?"

You are probably now wondering where Natural Collagen Silver and Graphite are. We will not include them in the analysis as they are identical products to Natural Collagen Platinum. The formulations have the same ingredients and differ only in name and price. For 200 ml of Natural Collagen Graphite you will pay PLN 327, while the exact same product (packaged in a different marketing) already costs PLN 547 (Natural Collagen Platinum).

Interested in the subject, I decided to contact Colway directly. When asked how the products differ, I received the following response: "The products differ in the degree of pigment purification. The more times it is passed through the mulberry silkworm's screens, the less of it it contains and, consequently, the more expensive it is".

What does this actually mean?"

Pharmacist, Ilona Krzak replied that this passing through the silkworm screens has a positive effect on the purity of the collagen. She added that by doing so, Colway has confirmed that it uses natural collagen in its products. Yes, the one with a molecular weight of 120 000-300 000 Da. And yes, the one that will not penetrate your skin according to current scientific knowledge.

Pharmacist's review of Colway gel collagen

The manufacturer Colway writes on its website: "Natural collagen is a gel formed by fish collagen molecules that attach water molecules in the process of hydration (a discovery of Polish biochemistry). The only 'living' (retaining the triple helix conformation) protein preparation in world cosmetology".

.
Collagen retaining the triple helix conformation usually has about 120 000 - 300 000 Da, so it is nowhere near the range of well-absorbable collagen 3500-4500 Da from the study quoted by the manufacturer. In addition, the study mentions hydrolysed collagen all the time, which is challenged by the manufacturer as being macromolecular. Where is the truth? I don't think Colway itself knows.

The manufacturer Colway also states that "Fish collagen at the molecular stage is characterised by transdermality - impossible in cases of large molecules of hydrolysed collagens - and an almost identical structural structure to human collagen."

.
The aforementioned large particles of hydrolysed fish collagen can be as small as 600 Da, which is an incomparably smaller size compared to natural collagen (or native collagen), whose molecular weight is around 120,000-300,000 Da.

In addition to collagen gels, Colway also offers you a dietary supplement. Is it better here? Yes, but... Not much.

.

Why it's worth it:

  • Content of tocopherol (a derivative of vitamin E) covers the daily requirement of this vitamin in adults.
  • Liophilised collagen taken orally can support health and beauty from the inside out.
  • Algae have been shown to have a positive effect on the health and beauty of the body.
  • Algae exhibit anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects.
  • .

Please note:

  • There is no information on the form of collagen (hydrolysate or natural). However, the MSc emphasises that regardless of the type, the protein content is low.
  • .
  • In the patent that the manufacturer states, there is no word about freeze-drying (this is a process that should aim to 'concentrate' the collagen in the capsule).
  • .
  • No information on the origin and type of marine algae.

Summary

.

Colway collagens are a bit of an unknown. The manufacturer provides conflicting information on the website. The studies it mentions are for hydrolysed collagen, which is treated by the manufacturer. The studies that suggest that non-hydrolysed collagen is absorbed through the skin were done on animals and stand in opposition to the rest of the scientific literature on the absorbability of collagen molecules. The 2022 breakthrough technology was filed with the Polish Patent Office in 2003. What to think about all this? I can only leave the conclusions to you.
