Kollaren Is Novel Peptide For Anti-Aging Skin Care

Kollaren is a biomimetic peptide available from Covalence derived from a signal peptide. According to the company, it increases the firmness of the skin by activating the extracellular matrix proteins synthesis such as collagen, elastin, fibronectin and laminin. With its tissue repair properties, Kollaren encourages tissue renewal and restores the biomechanical properties of the skin.

Skin aging is influenced by several factors; including genetics, UV, mechanical stress, hormonal changes, pollution and metabolic processes (generation of reactive chemical compounds such as activated oxygen species). Taken together, these factors lead to cumulative alterations of appearance, function and skin structure such as modifications in the architecture of the extracellular matrix (ECM).
