What role do collagen skin care products play on the skin?

Differences in Collagen Types

Through research, it has been found that there are about 29 types of collagen in the human body. Among them, the most common collagen in our skin is type I and type III collagen. The main components of collagen products on the market are also these two types of collagen.
Type I collagen accounts for about 85% of the skin. The fibers are thick and in the form of strips. It constitutes the main body of the skin. It is mainly used to support the hardness of the skin and can promote the growth of epithelial cells. However, too much type I collagen in the skin will cause the skin to become stiff, and too much type I collagen on the wound surface will also cause the proliferation of scars.
Type III collagen accounts for about 15%, surrounding type I collagen, is elastic, and is in the form of a sparse network. The higher the content of type III collagen, the less likely it is to form scars, and the skin will be more delicate, smooth and elastic.
At the same time, type III collagen can hardly be synthesized in adulthood, and type I collagen is mainly synthesized. The ratio of type I/III can reach 1:1 during the fetal period, and may reach 2:1 after puberty, and 3:1 in adulthood. Therefore, the skin condition is not as good as that of infancy, and scars are easily formed after damage.

Five Major Benefits of Collagen

①Hemostasis

Collagen can directly activate platelets in the coagulation system, combine with coagulation factors to form a fibrous protein network to block the wound, achieve rapid coagulation, reduce wound pain, and stabilize the wound state.

②Repair

Collagen effectively connects the broken collagen fibers in the skin caused by trauma and infection through strong adhesion, fills the gaps in the intercellular matrix, strengthens the support structure between cells, quickly rebuilds the skin barrier function, and restores the normal state of the skin.

③Support

Collagen can support the skin tissue, reduce skin atrophy, wrinkles and other problems caused by collagen loss, and make the skin plump, delicate and elastic.

④Water Lock

Collagen can form a mesh structure, firmly lock water molecules, form bound water, effectively increase the water content of the skin, and achieve skin rejuvenation and firming effects.

⑤Skin Brightening

Collagen combines with the active center of tyrosinase, thereby inhibiting the conversion of tyrosine into melanin, effectively reducing the synthesis rate of melanin in the basal layer of the skin, brightening the skin tone, and fading pigmentation, dark circles, etc.

The repair principle of collagen – “skin glue, wall painting and seam filling”

Photoelectric damage and skin diseases can cause damage to the skin barrier. The damaged skin barrier is an almost open system that cannot block the invasion of foreign harmful substances or retain skin moisture, so skin damage will not heal for a long time.
BONNEHEURE recombinant collagen can spontaneously assemble into a collagen “fiber network” on the surface of the wound, acting as a physical barrier, shielding foreign harmful substances, locking in the moisture inside the skin, providing a moist healing environment for the wound, and forming the human extracellular matrix (ECM) component, so that cells are no longer “displaced” and play a role in connecting, supporting, repairing and regenerating cells and tissues.
