It’s impossible to talk about youthful, toned skin without mentioning collagen. This structural protein, naturally produced by our bodies, plays a fundamental role in maintaining firmness, elasticity, and cohesion in the skin. As we age, collagen production gradually decreases — leading to wrinkles, volume loss, and sagging skin. Today, collagen is a key ingredient in both cosmetic and nutricosmetic products designed to fight signs of aging.

Here's everything you need to know about this anti-aging essential.

  

 ORIGIN OF COLLAGEN 

Collagen is a fibrous protein produced by fibroblasts and found in skin, joints, bones, and tendons.

DID YOU KNOW ?
Collagen makes up around 70% of the protein content in human skin.

  

In cosmetics, collagen is typically derived from marine (fish), animal (bovine or porcine), or biotechnological (plant-based) sources. The main type used in skincare is Type I collagen, which is primarily responsible for skin firmness and elasticity.

  

The different forms of collagen :

In cosmetics, it is generally extracted from marine sources (fish), animal sources (pork, bovine) or obtained by plant biotechnology (collagen of plant or biomimetic origin).

For our moisturizing and soothing HYALURONIC MASQUE, we've selected a plant-based alternative that has the same anti-aging power as collagen of animal origin. Made from corn, soy and wheat protein fibers, it mimics the amino acid composition and structure of animal collagen, while penetrating the skin more effectively.

   

 MAIN BENEFITS OF COLLAGEN 

| Improves Skin Firmness

It strengthens the dermal matrix, supports tissue structure, and reduces sagging skin for a more toned appearance.

| Reduces Wrinkles and Fine Lines

By boosting natural collagen synthesis, it helps smooth wrinkles and improve skin density.

| Deep Hydration

Collagen forms a protective film on the skin, locking in moisture and enhancing comfort.

| Plumping and Smoothing

It restores volume to hollow areas and smooths skin texture for a more even, radiant complexion.

| Youth Preservation

It promotes cell regeneration and protects against oxidative stress and external aggressors.

  

Collagen focus

Type I collagen is the key to skin firmness, density, and visible rejuvenation — starting at age 30.

  

 WHO IS IT FOR? 

Collagen is recommended for:

  • | Mature skin with reduced firmness
  • | Anyone looking to prevent skin aging
  • | Dehydrated, sagging, or tired skin
  • | Thin, fragile, or dull complexions
  • | Prevention from age 25–30

It suits all skin types, even sensitive, depending on the formulation.

  

 HOW TO USE IT 

Collagen is found in:

  • | Anti-aging creams, serums, and masks
  • | Firming and plumping skincare
  • | Oral supplements (hydrolyzed collagen peptides)

Topical use:

  • | Apply to clean skin, morning and/or night
  • | Pair with boosters like vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, or retinol
  • | Combine topical and oral collagen for optimal results

Tip: Look for collagen peptides or fragments, which absorb better than full collagen molecules (often too large for penetration).

 STIMULATE COLLAGEN PRODUCTION 

In addition to collagen, you can also boost your skin's natural mechanisms. Several cosmetic active ingredients are recognized for their ability to stimulate collagen production:

  • | Vitamin C is one of the most effective, directly activating collagen synthesis while neutralizing free radicals.
  • | Retinol (Vitamin A) and certain biomimetic peptides also boost the activity of fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing support fibers.
  • | Although glycolic acid acts indirectly, it gently exfoliates the skin, stimulating cell renewal and fostering an environment conducive to collagen regeneration.

   

 WHAT EXPERTS SAY 

Collagen is one of the most scientifically supported skincare actives. Dermatologists recommend it both to prevent and correct visible signs of aging. It is also used post-procedure (after laser, microneedling, or peels) and in oral supplementation to maintain tone and hydration.

Combining "in & out" strategies (skincare + supplements) is considered one of the most effective approaches.

 

 CONCLUSION 

Collagen is an essential ally in the quest for firm, elastic, and youthful skin. Whether applied topically or taken internally, it supports skin structure and fights visible signs of aging.

Starting at age 30, incorporating collagen helps preserve elasticity and radiance — long-term.
