Collagen Loss

Collagen Loss

As we age, our skin loses its natural collagen which gives the skin its support, elasticity and firmness. As we get older the amount of collagen in the skin decreases, this process speeds up if we are exposed to excess sun or environmental stresses such as smoking. As we lose collagen our skin gets thinner, and wrinkles begin to set in.

Skinceuticals Treatments for Collagen Loss

We have a range of products from SkinCeuticals to help prevent and protect the skin from environmental stresses that promote loss of collagen.
