The Science

Collagen, the bodys main structural protein, makes up 70% of the skin and is vital in helping to maintain the skins firmness, suppleness and elasticity, as well as the constant renewal of skin cells.

Research has shown collagen production begins to decrease around the age of 18 and continues to decline at a rate of about 1% per year after age 40. After menopause, skin thickness may decrease at a rate of about 1.13% annually.
