Procollagen
What is Procollagen?
Procollagen is the precursor form of collagen, a vital structural protein that provides firmness and elasticity to the skin. In skincare, it is typically used as hydrolyzed peptides or bioengineered extracts derived from marine or plant sources to penetrate the skin and stimulate natural collagen production. It helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by supporting the extracellular matrix.
