Humectant
What it is
Collagen that has been broken down into smaller peptide fragments through hydrolysis. It functions as a humectant on the skin's surface.
How it works
Due to its large molecular size, hydrolyzed collagen does not penetrate the skin to rebuild collagen. Instead, it acts as a humectant, binding water to the skin's surface to provide temporary hydration and a plumping effect.
Benefits
- Hydrates the skin's surface.
- Forms a film that helps to reduce water loss.
- Gives a temporary plumping effect to the skin.
