Collagen

Structural protein that provides skin with elasticity and fullness. In cosmetics, hydrolyzed collagen is used — it moisturizes and improves the feel of the skin, although it does not penetrate deeper than the stratum corneum.

What is it?

Collagen in cosmetics is mainly hydrolyzed collagen or soluble collagen. The molecules are too large to penetrate through the skin, so they act as a moisturizer and form a protective film on the surface. Marine and plant collagen are alternatives to animal collagen.

Used in moisturizing creams, masks, serums, and essences. Often combined with peptides and hyaluronic acid in anti-aging formulas.

Topical collagen does not restore the skin's own collagen — it acts as a moisturizer. Retinol and peptides are more effective for stimulating collagen synthesis.
