- Product Highlights
Collagen is a protein that plays a key role in the connective tissue as it helps keeping the skin moisturized and compact. Its composition is a sequence of 19 amino acids – including proline and hydroxyproline – with a molecular weight of 300.000 Dalton. The collagen is present in the dermis, where together with elastic fibers and glycosaminoglycans forms the three-dimensional structure that holds and supports the skin in giving strength and elasticity benefits. As a result of aging, collagen synthesis tends to decrease, thus significantly affecting skin tone and firmness.
