Collagen Cream Before and After: A Day in the Life of Your Skin

Your skin works hard every day. From protecting against environmental stressors to repairing itself overnight, it’s a constant cycle of activity. But what happens when you introduce collagen cream into your routine? Let’s explore how your skin reacts over 24 hours, from the first application to long-term results.

Morning: The Starting Point

It’s 7 a.m., and your day begins. Your skin wakes up alongside you, looking a little dehydrated and dull from water loss overnight. A glance in the mirror shows fine lines that seem more pronounced than they did yesterday.

The First Step: After cleansing, you apply our Prebiotic and all-natural, plant-based collagen cream. This small step does more than you might think:

• Immediate Hydration: Humectants like hyaluronic acid lock in moisture, plumping your skin for a refreshed appearance.

• Barrier Protection: Collagen peptides and antioxidants reinforce your skin’s defenses, prepping it to face the day​​.

Midday: Facing the World

By noon, your skin is in full protection mode, battling UV rays, pollution, and the blue light from your screens. Without support, these stressors can break down collagen fibers, leading to premature aging.

But today, your skin has help. The collagen cream you applied earlier is working to:

• Shield Against Damage: Antioxidants in the cream neutralize free radicals, preventing oxidative stress.

• Maintain Hydration: The cream's moisture-retaining ingredients keep your skin feeling fresh and smooth, even in air-conditioned offices or dry outdoor air​.

Did You Know? A study in Dermato-Endocrinology found that collagen-based products significantly reduce oxidative damage in the skin, slowing the aging process​.

Evening: Recovery Mode

It’s 9 p.m., and your skin is shifting gears. Nighttime is when your body focuses on repair and renewal, working to undo the damage from the day. This is the perfect time to apply our Prebiotic and all-natural, plant-based collagen cream again.

Nightly Ritual: After cleansing away the day’s grime, you massage the cream into your skin, letting it work overnight to:

• Promote Collagen Production: Peptides stimulate fibroblasts to produce natural collagen, restoring your skin’s elasticity.

• Support Skin Renewal: Ingredients like prebiotics in The SABI moisturiser nurture your microbiome, reducing inflammation and encouraging cell turnover for smoother skin by morning.

The Next Morning: Noticeable Results

As you wake up, your skin feels softer and looks plumper. Fine lines that were prominent yesterday appear diminished, and your complexion has a subtle glow. While these are just the short-term effects, they’re a sign of what’s to come with consistent use.

Long-Term Benefits

When you incorporate our Prebiotic and all-natural, plant-based collagen cream into your routine over weeks and months, the benefits compound:

• Firmer Skin: Collagen peptides rebuild your skin’s framework, reducing sagging and wrinkles.

• Smoother Texture: Enhanced hydration and cell turnover result in skin that feels silky-smooth.

• Radiant Complexion: By repairing damage and evening out tone, your skin regains its natural glow​​.

Collagen cream doesn’t just improve your skin’s appearance—it transforms how it functions, making it more resilient, hydrated, and radiant. Whether you’re starting your day or winding it down, our collagen cream works with your skin to support its natural processes and keep you glowing.
