Science & Benefits

Atelocollagen is a purified form of collagen where the immunogenic terminal peptides (telopeptides) have been enzymatically removed. This significantly reduces the risk of allergic reaction while maintaining massive water-binding capacity. It forms a breathable, hydrating film on the skin surface that effectively plumps the appearance of fine lines. It is zero-comedogenic. It is a 'bulletproof' film-former for acne-prone skin that needs barrier protection and intensive hydration without the use of heavy oils or occlusive waxes.
