We conducted fresh collagen facial half face tests at beautyworld Japan (a beauty trade fair) using FAITH LAMELLAR MODE precare essence and water that includes “Faith Fresh Collagen”. In these half face tests, we removed makeup from half of the face, and simply applied fresh collagen that requires refrigeration. Even this simple test received great enthusiasm for its amazing effects, with a 120-minute-long wait from even the first day.
Blend in cleanser and wipe with a tissue!!
Next, wipe off with a wet cotton pad or sponge.
Apply precare to half the face pressing up from bottom to top.
Next blend in by pulling up the skin to increase the effect.
Water retention capacity varies greatly by type of collagen.
Collagen is fresh collagen with a triple-helical structure. Most cosmetics use hydrolyzed collagen that is broken down by heat or enzymes.
We therefore conducted research on how to add fresh collagen that has the highest moisture capacity in our products. However, one issue remained.
Fresh collagen is too large in its natural state to penetrate to the stratum corneum.
Fresh collagen is too large to fit in a nano capsule, so previous methods placed hydrolyzed collagen inside. But with this method, only hydrolyzed collagen is used, and only in small amounts.
*1 Theoretical values calculated based on the 6 times water retention capacity of fresh collagen over hydrolyzed collagen
*2 Stratum corneum
*3 “Faith Fresh Collagen” (water-soluble collagen, hydrogenerated lecithin, phytosterol)… moisturizing ingredient

Fresh collagen left at 20°C or higher for an hour or more will begin to denature, reducing the fresh collagen effect by half.
This is why it was previously considered so difficult to use fresh collagen in cosmetics.
We created a new type of essence that you must make yourself by dissolving “Faith Fresh Collagen” that is freeze-dried in high concentration with dissolving liquid before use. After dissolving, store it in the refrigerator to supply fresh collagen to your skin every time.
