What is Pro-Collagen?
Rethinking Collagen in Skincare
Our award-winning Pro-Collagen range harnesses the power of marine and plant actives to visibly firm, smooth and hydrate skin.
Collagen is an essential ingredient that maintains the skin’s strength and structure. Over time, our production of collagen declines, leading to signs of ageing.
It’s not possible to increase collagen by simply applying it to the skin’s surface. That’s why our products don’t contain animal or marine collagen. Instead, they combine potent marine algae with cutting-edge science to improve the visible signs of collagen decline.
The range began with a single product – Pro-Collagen Marine Cream – and has evolved over the years to become a full skincare routine. Respected by beauty editors and a loyal fanbase, it’s won dozens of awards globally – thanks to its proven ability to boost hydration, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and increase elasticity and firmness.
Are Pro-Collagen products suitable for sensitive skin?
Our Pro-Collagen range is designed to be suitable for sensitive skin; however, all complexions are different, so we always recommend patch-testing a new product before adding it to your routine.
Did You Know?
70-80% of the skin’s dermal layer is made up of collagen. When collagen levels fall, skin begins to wrinkle and sag.
90% of premature ageing signs are caused by environmental factors that deplete collagen levels.
1% of the skin’s natural collagen production drops each year from our mid-20s onwards.
What Happens to Collagen Over Time?
As we age, our skin’s natural collagen production declines. Other factors like our lifestyle, stress and UV damage also play a role. The collagen our skin produces when we’re older is weaker, stiffer and less structured than younger collagen.
As collagen quantity and quality declines over time, skin loses its elasticity and firmness, leading to wrinkles.

FAQs
Do ELEMIS Pro-Collagen products contain animal or marine derived collagen?
Do ELEMIS Pro-Collagen products contain animal or marine derived collagen?
No – our Collagen Amino Acids and Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen are created by binding together the protein fibres produced by corn, soy, and wheat to form a naturally derived vegetable collagen equivalent. These ingredients mimic the structure of collagen and can provide a functional equivalent that supports the youthful elasticity and suppleness of skin.
