Does Virgin Coconut Oil Penetrate the Skin Deep Enough to Stimulate Collagen when Applied Topically?

I have read that virgin coconut oil is found to promote wound healing when applied topcally to skin. At the same time, collagen is stimulated, which seems to be an anti-aging benefit. I wonder if the oil truly penetrates the skin to a deep enough level to stimulate collagen. I would appreciate your feedback. Thank you, Lisa

You can only know it by experiencing. Two days ago I had my implants removed after 5 years. And i have been using it for my breasts. I feel its effect. Also virgin coconut oil has so much other benefit it is almost magical.
