First, let me introduce what collagen is! There are 27 types of collagen in the human body, and the type of collagen varies in different parts. The skin collagen is mostly Type I and III, which is formed by three left-handed peptide chains twisted into a right-handed helix. Collagen is the main component of the dermis layer of human skin, accounting for more than 80%. In the skin, collagen forms a dense elastic net that can lock in moisture and support the skin like a scaffold.
In the skin, collagen acts as a "spring" determining the elasticity and firmness of the skin; it also acts as a "reservoir", determining the water content and water storage capacity of the skin. Collagen directly determines the hydration level, smoothness, tightness, and "skin age" of the skin. Collagen is an extracellular protein composed of three peptide chains twisted into a spiral fiber protein. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, accounting for over 30% of the total body protein. Collagen is rich in amino acids such as glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline needed by the human body. Collagen is the most important component of the extracellular matrix. An adult has about 3 kilograms of collagen in their body, mainly found in the skin, bones, eyes, teeth, tendons, internal organs (including heart, stomach, intestines, blood vessels), etc. Its function is to maintain the shape and structure of the skin and tissues, and it is also an important raw material for repairing damaged tissues. In the components of human skin, 70% is made up of collagen.
