Collagen Skincare

Collagen is the skin's structural scaffold — responsible for firmness, elasticity, and that lifted appearance. From our mid-30s, collagen production declines by around 1% per year, accelerating the appearance of sagging and deep wrinkles. Vichy's Liftactiv Collagen Specialist 16 range is scientifically formulated to stimulate the skin's own collagen network, helping to visibly firm, lift, and replump skin at every stage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Collagen

How does collagen skincare work?

Collagen skincare uses active ingredients — such as peptides, retinol, and specific plant-derived actives — to stimulate the skin's fibroblast cells to help produce more collagen. Vichy's Collagen Specialist 16 range is formulated with a unique combination of derm-actives to support natural collagen synthesis and address concerns such as loss of firmness and wrinkles.

At what age should I start using collagen skincare?

Collagen loss begins in the mid-30s and accelerates after menopause. Vichy's Collagen Specialist 16 range is designed for women 45+ who want to visibly address loss of firmness and skin laxity, though preventative use from the mid-30s can also help maintain skin structure.

Can I use collagen skincare with other actives?

Yes. The Collagen Specialist 16 range is formulated to work as a complete protocol — day cream, night cream, serum, and eye care — and is also compatible with Vichy's other Liftactiv serums and SPF products.

What is the difference between a collagen serum and a collagen cream?

A collagen serum like Lifactiv Collagen Specialist 16 Bonding Serum delivers concentrated actives deeper into the skin to stimulate collagen production at the source. A collagen face cream provides surface-level hydration and protection while supporting structural firmness. Using both gives the most comprehensive anti-ageing benefit.
