Collagen banking pioneer Dermalogica announced on March 6, 2026 they’re taking their revolutionary preventative skin care product, the Pro-Collagen Banking Serum, further with Pro-Collagen Banking Water Cream, a next-level water cream that helps boost not just collagen but also elastin.
Starting in our late 20s, we start to lose one percent of our collagen per year according to studies. Hormonal changes lend to even more significant changes, as collagen loss is accelerated up to 30 percent within the first five years of menopause.
Collagen provides skin with structure, strength, and firmness while elastin is a protein that gives skin its bounce and keeps it taut. Lines on the skin start to appear once the production of collagen decreases. To combat this, college banking was developed as a technique to replenish collagen stores.
