Collagen for loss of firmness: how to use it and what to expect

If this is your concern, Collagen is one of the most evidence-backed options out there.

What is Collagen

Collagen is the skin's main structural protein, responsible for firmness and density.

How Collagen helps for loss of firmness

Firmness declines with age as collagen and elastin break down. Collagen approaches the problem from a different angle: collagen is the skin's main structural protein, responsible for firmness and density. As a result, used consistently, it gently improves the skin for loss of firmness.

How to use it

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

Precautions

Topical formulas support the barrier, while real collagen synthesis is driven by retinoids, vitamin C and peptides. Retinoids, peptides and vitamin C support skin density.
