Our 1.5% Collagen Serum: our best practices

Our 1.5% Collagen Serum is a highly concentrated treatment containing hydrolysed marine collagen, formulated to reinforce the skin's firmness and elasticity. This serum contains 1.5% marine collagen, a precious active ingredient known for its regenerating properties.

Our serum, enriched with hydrolysed collagen, is formulated to be easily absorbed by the skin. Its aim is to improve hydration, restore density and make the skin more supple. By incorporating it into your skincare routine, this serum helps to firm and smooth the skin, giving it a more youthful, revitalised appearance.

Collagen is a key structural protein in the connective tissue of skin, bones, tendons and ligaments. It provides essential structure and elasticity to the skin by forming a network of fibres that support skin cells. Scientifically, collagen is made up of long chains of amino acids, including proline, glycine and hydroxyproline, which come together to form strong, resistant fibres.

This serum acts simultaneously on several signs of ageing thanks to a biomimetic complex with proven efficacy. It is made up of a combination of amino acids and peptides which help to firm, tone and redensify the skin.

These vegan collagen 'fragments' are obtained by hydrolysis of plant proteins and biofermentation from yeast. The formula of this serum is therefore vegan and suitable for those following a vegan or plant-based diet.

• It promotes skin repair and regeneration. The low molecular weight of its peptide and amino acid complex enables it to act in the deep layers of the epidermis.

• It redensifies the skin. It strengthens the skin's structure, giving it a plumper, firmer appearance.

• It reduces the signs of ageing, including wrinkles and fine lines. It helps 'smooth out' features and the skin's appearance.

• It improves skin hydration and reinforces its surface lipid film. It helps to keep skin soft and supple to stand up to external damage.

Did you know?

Our 1.5% Vegan Collagen Serum is enriched with 100% naturally-derived hyaluronic acid. This active ingredient is a fundamental part of the substance in which our collagen fibres are embedded. It has powerful moisturising and plumping properties.

For which skin types?

• Mature skin. This applies to you if your skin looks wrinkled, has a finer texture and feels dry or rough.

• Sagging skin. You're affected if the oval of your face is sagging, if your cheeks seem to be drooping and if you're experiencing the 'turkey neck' effect (ptosis).

• Dehydrated skin. This applies to you if your skin feels tight, if it is more sensitive to external stress factors and if it shows signs of dehydration.

When should it be applied?

At both times of the day! Our collagen treatment is not photosensitising. It can therefore be used both in the morning and in the evening. Both routines are possible and can be combined, depending on the desired effects.

• Morning application: the right time to reinforce the skin barrier before going outdoors, for example.

• Evening application: the right time to support the skin's regeneration process and to help reduce the signs of ageing.

How do you apply it?

1. Cleansing: Start by cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type. This removes impurities and prepares the skin to better absorb the serum's active ingredients.

2. Toner: Apply a toner to balance your skin's pH and prepare it to receive the serum. The toner helps to tighten pores and maximise absorption of the serum.

3. Applying the serum: Take a few drops of the 1.5% Collagen Serum and apply to your face and neck. Use your fingers to distribute the serum using light tapping or upward circular movements. Concentrate on the areas where you want to improve firmness and elasticity.

4. Moisturising cream: Once the serum has been thoroughly absorbed, apply a moisturiser to seal in moisture and nourish the skin. This helps maintain the effect of the serum throughout the day or night.

5. Sun protection (morning): Finish your morning routine with a sun cream to protect your skin from UV rays. This prevents damage and helps maintain the results achieved with the serum.

1.5% Collagen Serum can be combined with several other serums to create a comprehensive, personalised skincare routine. Here are a few suggestions for effective combinations:

• Vitamin C Serum: Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps brighten skin tone and protect against environmental damage. Combined with collagen serum, it boosts anti-ageing effects by stimulating collagen production and making the skin more radiant.

• Hyaluronic Acid Serum: Hyaluronic acid is excellent for hydrating the skin, helping to firm fine lines and improve skin texture. It perfectly complements the collagen serum by providing additional hydration, optimising the firming and smoothing effects.

• Bakuchiol serum: Bakuchiol is a gentle alternative to retinol, providing anti-ageing benefits while being well tolerated by sensitive skin. Combined with collagen serum, it improves skin elasticity and smoothes out wrinkles while boosting firmness.
