Where skincare is discussed and anti-aging products are sold, you usually hear the terms “collagen” and “elastin” within the dialog.  While we know that these two components are important for younger looking skin, the question is, "what is the difference and how do these two components work harmoniously together for optimal and voluminous skin health?"

WHAT IS COLLAGEN AND ELASTIN?

Let’s get clear on the difference between this duo of protein-boosters! Collagen is our BFF and beauty savior. When it is at it’s best, it accounts for 30% of the protein in our bodies.  Elastin keeps collagen good company as a like-minded protein found in the body’s connective tissue.

Collagen = strength and foundation

 Elastin = returns shape and flexibility

LESS CELL REGENERATION MEANS MORE AGING

When you’re 20, your skin is perfectly happy with a good moisturizer and SPF. As we age, though, our epidermis gets a bit more demanding.  Thankfully, a layer of new and living cells reproduce every 21 to 28 days. The renewed skin has a plentiful amount of collagen and elastin, which results in a hydrated, smooth, plump and line-free appearance.  "Yipee!"  

Over time… hormones, stress and our biochemistry slowly breaks down in it’s ability to replenish itself of these two critical proteins.  Therefore, you wake up one morning and "TA-DA,"...ok, actually more like “OMG”, the skin feels more loose and wrinkles are spotted.

IT'S ALL IN THE DELIVERY.

One incredible example is alguronic acid. It increases production of elastin and encourages cell regeneration, hence assisting with firmness and elasticity. 

When compared molecularly to hyaluronic acid, you will see on the visual that the branched polysaccharide from hyaluronic have two branches, and alguronic  has an intricate multi-branched and cross-linked repeat unit structure.

In a study, Alguronic Acid encourages skin cell regeneration by 55%* over untreated cells, resulting in smoother skin texture, and a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
