3. Skin tightening: When collagen is absorbed by the skin, it fills between the dermis of the skin, increasing skin tightness, generating skin tension, shrinking pores, and making the skin tight and elastic.

4. Anti-wrinkle: The plump collagen layer in the dermis supports skin cells, combines the functions of moisturizing and inhibiting wrinkles, and jointly achieves the effect of stretching rough lines and diluting fine lines.

5. Repair: Active collagen can directly penetrate into the bottom layer of the skin and has good affinity with surrounding tissues. It can help cells produce collagen and promote the normal growth of skin cells. At the same time, active collagen itself also has anti-inflammatory and skin renewal effects.
