PART.01
Efficacy of recombinant type III collagen
It exerts anti-wrinkle and firming effects by promoting cell adhesion, collagen synthesis, and inhibiting collagen degradation, and can prevent and repair skin photodamage.
● Anti-aging
Recombinant type III collagen inhibits matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) from degrading dermal extracellular matrix (ECM).Recombinant type III collagen can increase the activity of superoxide dismutase and the scavenging rate of reactive oxygen species, inhibit the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways, reduce the expression levels of MMP-1 and MMP-3, thereby reducing the degradation of dermal extracellular matrix and skin aging.

Recombinant type III collagen inhibits glycation reaction and damages dermal ECMRecombinant type III collagen can effectively reduce the content of malondialdehyde (MDA). MDA promotes glycation reactions, and by reducing its content, one can decrease the progression of glycation reactions; it can also significantly inhibit the synthesis of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), reducing glycation reactions that lead to aging skin.

Recombinant type III collagen regenerates a strong epidermal barrierRecombinant type III collagen aligns the arrangement of keratinocytes more neatly and tightly, improving the crystallization of the lipid structure between keratinocytes, enhancing the mechanical properties of the stratum corneum, and strengthening the barrier function of the stratum corneum. It can also upregulate skin barrier-related factors in keratinocytes, improving the resistance of the epidermal barrier.
