THE COLLAGEN EDIT

There are women who, after 40, don’t seem to be chasing their 20s. And yet their skin looks firm, luminous and alive. Skin that retains density, elasticity and that unique ability to reflect light — something we instinctively associate with youth.

It’s not just genetics. And it’s not about perfection, either.

A major part of that skin quality has a name: collagen.

It makes up around 80% of the dry weight of the dermis and is one of the main structural proteins responsible for its strength and firmness.

Starting at around age 25, collagen production tends to gradually decline, with an estimated loss of about 1% each year.

Over time, this loss translates into skin that becomes progressively thinner, less firm and less elastic.

Why do we look worse after our tan fades?

THE SUN DOESN’T JUST CAUSE DARK SPOTS. IT ALTERS THE DERMAL MATRIX.

When UV exposure is excessive, it increases the activity of enzymes that break down the collagen already present in the skin.

At the same time, the sun can reduce the signals that stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen.

That’s why daily sun protection isn’t just about preventing dark spots: it also helps preserve the collagen we already have.

THEN COME THE HORMONES.

One of the most significant changes happens as estrogen levels decline.

Estrogen plays an important role in regulating fibroblast activity and collagen synthesis.

According to scientific literature, during the first five years after menopause, dermal collagen content can decrease particularly sharply by as much as around 30%.

SO, HOW DO WE REALLY PRESERVE COLLAGEN?

The smartest strategy isn’t to look for a single miracle ingredient.

It’s about working on several levels at once: stimulating fibroblasts, providing the cofactors needed for collagen synthesis, limiting the breakdown of the extracellular matrix, protecting the skin from UV exposure every day, and reducing as much as possible other factors that accelerate collagen degradation, including oxidative stress, smoking and glycation.

And above all, giving the skin time.

Taking care of collagen doesn’t mean trying to stop ageing.

It means building skin that can age while maintaining its structure, density, luminosity and ability to recover for as long as possible.

hielding. It’s about preserving.

THIS IS WHERE SUPER COLLAGEN COMES IN: A COLLAGEN APPROACH THAT STARTS FROM WITHIN.

At its core is a patented complex of plant-based biomimetic peptides: CHB Human Like Collagen Peptides, engineered to mirror the molecular structure of human collagen with up to 98% similarity.

A clinical study evaluated the effects of CHB Human Like Collagen Peptides.

The study involved 25 women aged 31 to 55.

Participants took up to 2.5 g per day of CHB Human Like Collagen Peptides in capsule form, in the morning on an empty stomach and in the evening before bedtime.

Skin quality was assessed before and after 4 weeks of supplementation, measuring several key skin parameters.

HOW TO TAKE IT?

Take 2 capsules in the evening to support optimal overnight regeneration.

Each serving provides 380 mg of plant-based collagen.

For best results, take consistently as part of your daily wellness and healthy-ageing ritual, alongside your skincare routine.

Support your skin from within.
Make Super Collagen part of your daily longevity ritual.
