Collagen is responsible for the skin’s strength and elasticity. In skincare, its main role is hydration. What is collagen, exactly? It's a structural protein naturally found in the skin.
Collagen helps reduce transepidermal water loss. Because it's hygroscopic, it can also attract and hold moisture, making the skin appear smoother and fine lines look less noticeable.
How to use it
You can use collagen any time of day, in any season, during pregnancy, and at any age. You’ll find it in creams, serums, toners, and other skincare products. It works best in leave-on products that stay on the skin longer.
Suitable for
All skin types, especially dehydrated skin.
Things to know
Compatible with all skincare ingredients. Works particularly well with other hydrating ingredients, like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, peptides, and more.
