I know what collagen is but what is Thalgo Marine Pro-Collagen and how does it work?
A. If you can imagine the skin is like a bed. You have the mattress which is the epidermis and the base of the bed which is the dermis. In young skin, the mattress is firmly attached to the base of the bed by anchoring proteins: collagen fibres (IV and VII) and laminin. As we age, these anchoring proteins tend to deplete and the epidermis and the dermis are no longer firmly attached. Due to the combined effects of gravity and mechanical pulling, the epidermis looses its firmness and the facial contours lose their definition. Thalgo Marine Pro-Collagen, present in the Thalgogive range, is a duo of actives that strengthen the bond between the epidermis and dermis to combat loss of firmness and loss of the facial definition.
