Question

What is the difference between Collagen and Elastin?

Collagen is the most abundant protein found in connective tissue. It provides fullness and firmness to the skin, but if not enough elastin, skin’s elasticity will disappear, and very sagging.

Collagen and elastin interact together to maintain beautiful and young skin! Collagen makes your skin look plump and provides rigidity, while elastin keeps it elastic and flexible. If you want to have plump, elastic and firm skin, both are indispensable.
