Here’s How You Restore Collagen In Your Skin

Collagen is responsible for the irresistible quality, texture, and bounce found in baby skin. Collagen makes up 80 percent of skin and consequently is the most critical structural protein in your skin. However, not all collagen is created equally; it's a complex protein and not easy to 'replace' once lost.

In your skin, there are two main types of collagen, known as collagen 1 and collagen 3, that are both equally important. Collagen 3 (otherwise known as 'baby collagen', because of its presence in infant skin) provides a framework that collagen 1 binds to. The two types of collagen need each other to function efficiently.

According to Avon, the skincare discovery Protinol is clinically proven to restore both types of collagen found in healthy skin, helping to mimic the perfect collagen equilibrium found in baby skin. The breakthrough ingredient is already gaining attention from industry-leading scientists. Dr. Bayat from the University of Manchester independently tested the ingredient to help fully understand its power. Bayat says: "This is the first time I have ever seen a significant increase in collagen 3 from a topical skin care product."
