The production of collagen in the skin begins to decrease gradually from around the age of 25, but the amount of collagen is also affected by, for example, exposure to the sun, smoking and sugar intake. As we age, we begin to lose more collagen than our body produces. The collagen fibers under the skin become fragile, which leads to a decrease in skin elasticity, lines and wrinkles, and sagging of the skin.

What are collagen peptides and hydrolyzed collagen? Collagen peptides are the building blocks of collagen proteins that are chopped up from whole collagen molecules. Hydrolysis refers to the process by which the amino acid chains of collagen are broken down. Both result in a more absorbable form of collagen. 

Why should you use skin care products containing collagen? Using products containgin collagen contribute in many ways to the condition of the skin. Collagen not only hydrates, but also helps maintain skin's moisture balance, so its moisturizing properties can make skin look plumper.

Who is collagen suitable for? For all those seeking to maintain the skin's moisture balance, as well as for those who need help with the signs of aging. Collagen works well together with retinoids, retinol, peptides and vitamin C.
