Collagen Loss After 25: What You Should Know

Why collagen declines and how to stimulate renewal effectively.

Collagen is roughly 70% of dry skin mass and underpins firmness. From the mid-20s, the body may lose about 1% yearly.

Why it declines

  • Ageing
  • UV / photoageing
  • Smoking and pollution
  • High sugar (glycation)
  • Poor sleep and stress

How to stimulate renewal

Retinoids and vitamin C help at home; energy-based treatments remain among the most effective clinical tools.
