Collagen: The Basics

What is collagen?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your skin. It forms a network of fibres which provides structural support to help keep skin firm, supple, and radiant.

How does collagen work in skincare?

Collagen comes in a few different shapes and sizes. Each type works in a slightly different way and has its own set of benefits. For example, Collagen Peptides help keep your skin supple and can reduce the appearance of wrinkles by supporting healthy collagen production. On the other hand, Soluble Collagen Molecules bind water to your skin to help improve hydration, plumpness, and radiance.

Why should you use collagen skincare?

Our formulas combine different types of collagen to provide you with a range of rejuvenating benefits. Whether you’re looking to future-proof your skin and preserve its youthful appearance or target signs of ageing, our collagen-powered skincare can help.

Collagen over time

“As we age, our ability to naturally produce collagen declines. This results in decreased skin elasticity, firmness, and moisture retention, leading to the development of wrinkles, sagging skin, and other signs of ageing.

“While skincare products or supplements can't directly replace collagen, they can play a role in supporting your skin's natural repair and renewal processes. This can lead to enhancements in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.

“Incorporating collagen into your skincare routine can help maintain youthful-looking skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and promote a smoother, more radiant complexion.”

Introducing Triple-Action Collagen

Inspired by the innovative science behind wound healing, our German-engineered collagen technology helps repair, protect, and rejuvenate your skin.

Native Collagen Fibres

We use Native Collagen Fibres that are 97% identical to human skin and to make our coveted face and eye masks. As well as controlling active delivery, these fibres help hydrate, soothe, and fortify the skin barrier.

Soluble Collagen Molecules

Soluble Collagen Molecules help to bind water to your skin’s surface. In turn, this reduces transepidermal water loss, improves the appearance of fine lines, and promotes radiant, plumper, more supple skin.

Collagen Peptides

The Collagen Peptides we use in our formulas boast excellent bioavailability thanks to their low molecular weight. This means they can easily penetrate your skin to help trigger collagen synthesis, restore skin firmness, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Collagen is the most common protein in our body, accounting for around 30% of our body’s total protein. Collagen constitutes much of the connective tissue in our body and helps give our skin elasticity and stretchiness.

In order to preserve elasticity, radiance, and an overall more youthful appearance, it is important to use products that support collagen synthesis. Discover our dedicated Firming and Anti-Ageing Collection to unlock the age-defying power of collagen.

There isn’t a “best” form of collagen – different types of collagen offer different benefits to different layers of your skin. However, the quality of collagen might vary from product to product, and that is why we pride ourselves on sourcing the finest collagen, engineered to unwavering standards in Germany.

Our signature Triple-Action Collagen technology helps ensure every layer of your skin, from deep tissue to the surface layers, can benefit from our collagen products.

There are a number of foods that are naturally high in collagen, such as sardines, shellfish, pork, and bone broth. These can be consumed as part of a balanced diet to help support collagen production.
