The Power of Pure Marine Collagen on Ageing Skin

Wrinkles are a major concern for men and women. We are constantly looking for ways to prevent or get rid of them. The appearance of wrinkles does not solely depend on age but also experience and lifestyle.

he charm of fine laughter lines around the eyes disappear; wrinkles start conveying negative expressions that don’t always reflect how we feel inside. Rarely welcomed with open arms, wrinkles represent the number one reason for seeing an aesthetic dermatologist. Let’s go back to basics for a moment by exploring the magical anti-ageing ingredient that everyone knows and loves: Collagen

Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the body. It’s responsible for giving your skin a youthful bounce. Unfortunately, as tissue regeneration decreases with age, our bodies produce less collagen than we break down.

Thalgo La Beaute Marine employs Marine Collagen in our products. Marine Collagen is high in Type 1 collagen, has a high bioavailability, is sustainably sourced, and has been proven by multiple studies to reduce wrinkle depth and increase the moisture levels in skin.

Thalgo has created Hyalu-Procollagène. The first triple wrinkle correction marine filler that contains 3 hyaluronic acids AND marine pro-collagen. In addition to this, the innovative Thalgo Marine “Anti-ageing shot to drink”, Collagène 10 000 is also available to fill and plump established wrinkles. The Collagène 10 000 Nutri-cosmetic contains three pillar ingredients to assist with ageing concerns: 10 000 mg of PURE marine collagen, selenium and zinc.

The 10,000 mg of patented pure marine collagen contained in the product is the highest concentration of collagen available to date, delivered daily. These marine collagen peptides boost the neosynthesis of cutaneous hyaluronic acid and collagen to help to fill in and plump up wrinkles from WITHIN. Combined with selenium, zinc also helps to protect from oxidative stress and keep skin glowing with health.

Each box of Collagène 10 000 contains 10 x melt-in-themouth, tangy peach-flavoured drinks that can be ingested “neat” or diluted with a glass of water. It contains calorie-free sweeteners with zero impact on blood sugar. It’s recommended to do the treatment course every 3-months for optimal results.

To target ageing concerns from the outside – the Thalgo Hyalu-Procollagène range offers a wide variety of products that in conjunction with one another, can visibly reduce, plump up, smooth and fill wrinkles.

Thalgo also offers a professional 60-minute treatment to enjoy in-spa or in-salon called the Hyalu-Procollagène Filler Treatment. This treatment combines three hyaluronic acids and marine pro-collagen with Roller Boosters.

Thalgo offers every tool you need to break down the signs of ageing.

Vitaderm Collagen Powder

Vitaderm Collagen Powder contains high quality hydrolysed collagen peptides in their most bio-active and bio-available form. This powder is rapidly absorbed and transported by the body, where it starts to nourish and regenerate collagen tissues with regular use. It is 100% soluble and natural in odour and taste. This product supports healthy skin, nails, hair, joints, bones and muscles with regular use.

Collagen helps to restore radiance by improving skin hydration and elasticity. The result is improved moisture levels, smoother and plumper skin, improved collagen density and softening of fine lines and wrinkles.

Sontal Marine Collagen TriPeptide

The Sontal experts define collagen tripeptides as the bioactive component in all quality collagen powders and granules. They say: “We believe that commercially available collagen powders are not ‘whole collagen tissue’ but are in fact ‘pre-digested’ native collagen tissue. The quality and characteristics of the powders are a result of fine-tuned processes, the sourcing of the native collagen, the quality of the sourced material and the scientific approach to ensure the highest quality of target specific collagen peptides.

“The controlled pre-digestion process (also called hydrolyzation) uses water, heat and carefully selected enzymes to denature the tough collagen strand to create separate gelatine strands and the selected enzyme then cleaves the strands at specific predetermined bonds to form peptides. Depending on the peptide size and structure, it can now be consumed by humans; some of the peptides are further digested by the human digestive tract, which results in random free amino acids not uniquely specific to collagen, di-peptides which are more specific to collagen and serve as collagen building blocks. Tripeptides, on the other hand, could be described as the essential amino acid structure, Gly-X-Y tripeptide, specifically unique to collagen. All these different particles can pass through the intestinal wall as bioavailable particles and enter the bloodstream to be used by the body. The more bioactive tripeptides reach the target tissue, the more effective the treatment.”

Sontal Marine Collagen Tripeptide contains a patented ingredient called Morikol®. This is a collagen peptide derived from tilapia fish collagen and is standardised to 15% tripeptides. These tripeptides are mostly digestiveresistant and reach the target tissue intact as bioactive molecules stimulating the endogenous proliferation of fibroblasts. Fibroblast cells are collagen-synthesizing cells, responsible for building new collagen fibrils and repairing damaged collagen. Tripeptides are also responsible for stimulating the synthesis of hyaluronic acid and for reducing the damage to collagen from MMPs created by UV rays from the sun.

The capsules contain 1 000 mg (2 x 500mg vegetable Capsules) of pure Morikol, no additives or excipients, standardized to 15% bioactive tripeptides, delivering 150 mg of tripeptides per dose, 85% more than received from 10 000 mg of general collagen powder.

“Morikol tripeptides are truly the ‘unique essential amino acid structure’, reaching the target tissue intact for superior bioavailability,” says the Sontal team. “They stimulate the activation of fibroblast cells for collagen production and repair as well as stimulate the synthesis of hyaluronic acid for skin hydration and moisture. Furthermore, Sontal Marin Collagen Tripeptide effectively reduces the effect of the UV rays from the sun on the outer layer of the skin, reducing the signs of visible ageing. This product serves as building blocks specifically unique to collagen fibrils.

pHformula Liquid Life Boost

Liquid Life Boost is an ingestible liquid skin supplement formulated to transform your skin from the inside out. The unique combination of collagen peptides, vitamins, minerals and hyaluronic acid work synergistically to promote skin suppleness and firmness, boost the immune system, intensively hydrate the skin, protect against oxidative stress, and increase radiance.

According to pHfromula, this product can deliver a higher concentration of collagen peptides and other nutrients quickly and effectively into the bloodstream, which helps boost your body’s natural collagen production and replenish the collagen you lose during the ageing process.

Liquid Life Boost contains hydrolysed collagen and with superior bioavailability. There is a high abundance of the amino acids hydroxyproline, glycine and proline that act as building blocks, renewing body tissues, such as skin, bones, and joints as well as increase hyaluronic acid production in dermal fibroblasts.

With the added bonus of tasting like gin & tonic, Liquid Life Boost helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and plays a role in the improvement of hair and nail health. In addition it contributes to the improvement of skin firmness and elasticity, supports connective tissue and joint health, and helps to provide relief from joint pain and stiffness.
