Let's be honest about what Allantoin can really do, and what it can't.

What is Allantoin

How Allantoin helps for fine lines

Fine lines are often linked to dehydration and an early drop in collagen. This is exactly where Allantoin shines: allantoin softens, soothes and encourages gentle skin renewal. As a result, used consistently, it gently improves the skin for fine lines.

How to use it

  • Cleanse with a gentle, non-stripping product.
  • Apply allantoin to dry skin, starting 2–3 times a week.
  • Seal with a moisturiser to support the barrier.
  • Always use SPF 30+ in the morning.
