Collagen

Regardless of age, color, ethnicity, or type - skin is skin and primarily made up of collagen.

Human skin consists of about 70% collagen protein, which accounts for 90% of the dermis. Clayton Shagal 99% pure extracted collagen penetrates into the dermal layer of the skin without injection. This penetration increases the volume of the existing collagen for stronger and healthier skin. The skin retains more moisture.

By fortifying the skin's foundation of collagen the suppleness and density will improve while delaying the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.

The natural complement to collagen is the elastin protein because it works to bind collagen fibers tightly together enhancing the skin's moisture retention and elastic properties. Clayton Shagal also makes an excellent elastin gel.
