Active now essential, collagen has proven itself in just a few years to such an extent that it is today the star of many anti-aging products. Some brands can no longer do without it and entire ranges are dedicated to this miracle ingredient. Present naturally in each of us, its natural production decreases over time from the age of 25. This reduction must therefore be compensated for with an external contribution, either through topical treatment or through nutrition. Here is our selection based on collagen, to apply directly to the skin or to consume via supplements.
5 ways to benefit from the benefits of collagen
If a product were to win the prize for effectiveness, moisturizing cream based on collagen would surely be in a good position! To be applied in the morning or evening, the key to its effectiveness lies in the regularity and frequency with which it is used. At a more or less high dosage, collagen can be combined with different active ingredients, such as CBD or hyaluronic acid.

It is always on the area of eye contour that the signs of aging appear first. It is one of the finest, most sensitive areas and yet it is too often neglected. In addition, we often start thinking about using an eye contour treatment at an age when the damage is already apparent. We must therefore redouble our efforts to succeed in reducing the famous wrinkles and fine lines which are already well established. However, the skin in this very thin area absorbs the active ingredients allocated to it very quickly! Therefore, collagen-based eye contours should be included as early as possible in your skincare routine.
