Unfortunately, in the cosmetics industry there are a lot of good-sounding but unrealistic product promises that do not live up to the expectations they arouse.
This probably applies to hardly any other active ingredient as much as collagen. There are a variety of collagen products available – some applied directly to the skin and others taken orally.
The fact is: Collagen is an important structural element of the skin, but the collagen molecule is too large to get into the skin and stimulate new collagen production there. When incorporated into care products, collagen is therefore ineffective.
Does this now mean the end of collagen-containing products?
Not quite, because there is another way to stimulate new collagen production and maintain the collagen depot that already exists in the skin.
By applying products containing collagen, the skin cannot build additional collagen, so using products containing collagen is not advisable.
However, it is possible to stimulate new collagen production and maintain the collagen depot already present in the skin in other ways.
This is where the new Pro-Collagen Banking Serum from Dermalogica comes into play. The highly effective formula with amino acids – building blocks of collagen with a small molecular size – brings the most important ingredients to where the skin needs them.
The effect of this product goes far beyond the optical plumping of the skin: the collagen already present in the skin is additionally protected from degradation. The result: more elastic, visibly plumper and more radiant skin and, with regular use, a reduction in visible fine lines and wrinkles in the future.
