Collagen is a key structural protein in our skin. It is a major component of connective tissue and the upper layers of the skin, helping to tighten and smooth the skin, giving us a youthful appearance. Together with elastin, another essential protein, collagen provides the skin with strength and elasticity.

Acting as a protective layer, collagen helps maintain the skin’s hydration, supporting cell regeneration and renewal. It plays an essential role in the skin’s natural renewal process by removing old cells and making room for new ones.

After our 20s, collagen levels in the body decrease by about 1% per year. As we age and collagen levels decline, the skin becomes thinner, drier, and less elastic, while collagen fibers become more fragile. This process contributes to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. This is why many anti-aging creams include collagen to support the preservation of youthful-looking skin.

Collagen is an active ingredient in the Anti Age collection and in Natural Wrinkle Care Repair intensive renewal cream.
