As we age, our skin becomes more fragile. It may appear thin, delicate, wrinkled or papery-like texture. This change occurs as a direct result of the loss of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin keep skin smooth and supple; as it depletes, skin will begin to thin out.

Recommended Active ingredient: Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin C
Hyaluronic acid can help increase skin moisture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Topical treatments can soothe redness and dermatitis, while injections can make skin appear firmer.
