Due to its huge molecular size and the lack of study and clear proof regarding its capacity to permeate the skin barrier, collagen is a contentious ingredient in the cosmetics business. Confusion over anti-aging claims may result from this uncertainty. I'll talk about my favorite Medicube collagen creams, including the well-known Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream, and the many kinds of collagen they include in this blog post. I'll also provide you a creative recipe guide that uses both products so you can make the ideal tailored potion for your skin type!
Medicube Triple Collagen Cream
Key Ingredients & Functions
• Contains squalane, shea butter, argan oil, enantia chlorantha bark extract, desamido collagen, elastin, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid.
• Hydrates, reduces dark spots, fortifies the skin barrier, increases skin suppleness, controls sebum production, and strengthens the skin's resilience.
• It can be combined with foundation to enhance adherence and avoid cakiness.
All skin types can use it.
Soon after I started using it, Triple Collagen Cream—formerly known as Triple Deep Erasing Cream—became a favorite. Despite being rich and thick, it absorbs swiftly and feels light on my skin, making it appropriate for both day and night. This cream, which is full of healthy ingredients, has been quite kind to my delicate skin. Desamido collagen is the kind of collagen found in this cream!
Desamido collagen is a type of collagen that has been chemically altered to improve its capacity to draw in and hold onto moisture. This type of collagen has many other advantages, but more research is required to discover whether it can penetrate deeply enough into the skin to stimulate collagen formation. This kind of collagen is an excellent humectant, which aids in the skin's ability to draw in and hold onto moisture. It is also known to increase skin elasticity and moisture levels, build the skin barrier, and prevent moisture loss by forming a protective layer on the skin. According to certain research, desamido collagen's moisturizing qualities may also aid in minimizing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.
Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream
Key Ingredients & Functions
• Contains 98% freeze-dried hydrolyzed collagen, hydrolyzed elastin, niacinamide, blueberry extract, hyaluronic acid & squalane
• Improves skin elasticity & fine lines, brightens & strengthens the skin barrier
• Suitable for all skin types
The Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream has been hugely popular on social media recently, and what first drew my attention to it was its stunning color and unique texture. Surprisingly, the pink color comes from the natural vitamins infused into the cream! While the thick jelly-like consistency absorbs nicely, it does leave a slight stickiness behind. Because of this, I prefer to incorporate the Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream into my nighttime skincare routine, where it functions exceptionally well as an overnight mask that leaves me with hydrated, plump and glowy skin by morning.
However, if you love a dewy, glassy appearance, you may just love the Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream as a daytime cream as well. Although I haven't yet tried Medicube's Age-R Booster, I've heard that it complements this cream excellently. Medicube asserts that absorption is boosted by 490%, a claim I can't personally confirm. The type of collagen in the Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream is freeze-dried hydrolyzed collagen!
Freeze-dried hydrolyzed collagen, also known as collagen peptides, is a form of collagen that has been broken down into much smaller peptides. It works in a very similar way to Desamido collagen, as it also forms a protective film on the skin and has great humectant properties. Limited studies have shown that its smaller size may allow for better penetration, although research is needed to know how deep that penetration goes.
