Marine collagen is often presented as a miracle ingredient for improving skin elasticity, firmness, hydration and "anti-wrinkle" effect. But to reap its full benefits, it's not enough to consume it alone. Its effectiveness depends heavily on its combination with complementary active ingredients, such as vitamin C, which plays a key role in the synthesis collagen synthesis.
In this article, find out why marine collagen alone has its limits, and what good active ingredients, when supplemented, can boost its effects tenfold.
Marine collagen, a promising but incomplete asset
- Marine collagen is a protein that can be hydrolyzedwhich means it is transformed into peptides for optimum optimal. When consumed, these peptides provide the amino acids needed to synthesize new collagen in the body, particularly in the skin.
- However, without a favorable biochemical environment, these amino acids are insufficient to effectively stimulate this natural production. For example: the absence of vitamin C limits activation of the enzymes involved in collagen synthesis.
- High levels of oxidative stress can accelerate the degradation of existing collagen, diminishing the beneficial effects of its supplementation.
The importance of complementary active ingredients in maximizing the benefits of marine collagen
For marine collagen to reach its full potential, it must be combined with specific active ingredients that act synergistically. Here are the main essential active ingredients:
-
Vitamin C: an indispensable cofactor
Vitamin C enables amino acids to bind together, forming a network of functional collagen fibers. It activates the enzymes prolyl-hydroxylase and lysyl-hydroxylase, which are involved in collagenbiosynthesis. Without vitamin C, marine collagen is less well utilized by the body, reducing its impact on skin firmness and elasticity.
-
Antioxidants: protecting collagen
Active ingredients such as zinc, selenium and polyphenols act as shields against free radicals, which break down existing collagen. By protecting the skin from oxidative stress, they prolong the effects of marine collagen and promote more protected skin.
-
Ceramosides®: for optimum hydration
Phytoceramides, present in all Evoleum Drinkable Food Supplements skincare formulas, strengthen the cutaneous barrier and increase water retention. Combined with collagen, they improve skin texture, making it softer and smoother.

Evoleum Longévité : a synergistic formula for visible results
At Evoleumour nutricosmetics approach is based on the synergy of active ingredients. All our treatments are rich, complex formulas, bringing together active ingredients that support each other and whose precise, rigorous combination optimizes their benefits.
We know the importance of combining marine collagen with complementary active ingredients to maximize its effectiveness. That's why our treatment Longévité combines 5 g of Peptan® hydrolyzed marine collagen with key ingredients such as :
- 80 mg vitamin C: to support collagen synthesis and reinforce its anti-ageing action (100% of RDA).
- Ceramosides®: for deep moisturizing and improved skin barrier.
- Zinc, selenium and vitamin B2: to protect skin against oxidative stress.
- Vitamins B2, B3 and B5: to support the structure and function of the skin and contribute to its good health.
This innovative liquid formula ensures rapid absorption and optimal bioavailability. The first results are visible in just three weeks, with firmer, smoother, visibly hydrated skin.
Supporting scientific evidence
The benefits of marine collagen combined with complementary active ingredients are supported by numerous studies: marine collagen supplementation alone improves skin density less convincingly, but results are significantly amplified when combined with vitamin C.
After 42 days of supplementation (6 weeks) with enriched formulas such as Longévité, skin density increases by 33%, and deep wrinkles are reduced by 26%.
Why isn't marine collagen enough on its own?
Without the right cofactors, marine collagen cannot reach its full potential. Here are the main limitations of its isolated consumption:
- Incomplete synthesis: without vitamin C, new collagen production remains low.
- Rapid degradation: without antioxidant protection, newly produced collagen is rapidly damaged by free radicals.
- Insufficient hydration: collagen alone does not provide the lipids needed to reinforce the skin barrier and prevent trans-epidermal water loss.
Conclusion: the power of synergy
Marine collagen is a precious base for firmer, younger-looking skin, but it's its combination with active ingredients like vitamin C, antioxidants and ceramides that allows it to reveal its full effectiveness. Evoleum skincare products are systematically designed to work synergistically, which is how we understand the power of nutricosmetics. Evoleum's Longévité is a perfect example of this synergistic approach, offering a complete solution to nourish the skin from within and enhance its appearance.
To maximize the results of your skincare routine, choose enriched, scientifically validated formulas like those from Evoleum. Your skin will thank you!
Evoleum's Radiance cure is a nutricosmetic solution designed to deeply moisturize the skin, revive radiance and protect cells against the effects of UV and blue light. To maximize its benefits, it's essential to follow an appropriate routine. Here's a detailed guide to the best way to take the Radiance cure.
1. When and how to take the Radiance cure?
-
Dosage Take one Radiance ampoule a day for at least 21 days, either directly or diluted in a glass of cool water. This duration and regularity of intake is based on the results of proprietary clinical studies we have conducted demonstrating that regular daily intake of our supplements has a beneficial effect on skin health and beauty.
-
Recommended schedule Preferably in the morning, on an empty stomach or with breakfast, for better energy metabolism of nutrients. In the morning, energy expenditure is more active, facilitating cell activity.
-
Duration of treatment A complete course of treatment lasts 21 days (1 set) or 6 weeks (2 sets) for optimum results. This duration corresponds to the skin's natural cell renewal cycles, which last approximately 28 days..
2. What foods should I choose during my cure?
To optimize the effects of the Radiance treatment, we recommend adopting a diet rich in nutrients of interest, based on a good complementarity between the active ingredients of the Radiance treatment and the other nutrients in the daily food intake, in order to cover the scope of nutrients needed to obtain radiant skin:
-
Antioxidant-rich foods Red fruits, citrus fruits, carrots, tomatoes and green vegetables help fight oxidative stress. These foods contain polyphenols and carotenoids that protect the skin from environmental damage.
-
Essential fatty acids Oily fish (salmon, sardines), olive oil, linseed and walnuts for well-protected skin. Omega-3s reduce inflammation and strengthen the skin barrier.
-
Collagen-rich foods Bone broth, eggs, to support skin elasticity. Collagen is essential to the structure of the dermis, and its natural production declines with age.
-
Optimum hydration : Drink at least 1 to 1.5 liters of water a day to help eliminate body waste and prevent kidney disease. Good hydration is a key factor in skin radiance.
3. What habits should you adopt to reinforce the effects of your cure?
-
Use of sun protection The Radiance treatment does not replace a sunscreen. Apply an SPF+ adapted to your skin type, especially in the event of prolonged exposure. UV rays accelerate skin aging and the production of free radicals.
-
A good skin care routine Cleanse and moisturize your skin daily with the right products to optimize the benefits of your treatment. Your skin needs to be in the best possible condition to optimize absorption of topical active ingredients.
-
Restorative sleep Sleeping at least 7 to 8 hours a night helps cell renewal. Indeed, night-time plays an important role in this process, so getting a good night's sleep is essential. During sleep, the body is less exposed to external aggression, so certain molecules are better preserved.
-
Stress reduction Meditation, yoga or breathing exercises can help reduce stress and its effects on skin appearance. Chronic stress increases cortisol production, which can accelerate skin aging through a cascade of reactions.
By following these tips, Evoleum's Radiance cure will help you regain a radiant glow, with skin that's well hydrated and protected from external aggressors. Incorporate it into a balanced routine for visible, long-lasting results.
Dry skin and feelings of tightness are common problems, often caused by a lack of moisture and damage to the skin barrier. Environmental factors, lifestyle and aging can aggravate these feelings of discomfort. Fortunately, there are effective solutions for restoring skin hydration and suppleness.
What causes dry skin?
The skin's natural protective barrier is made up mainly of lipids, whose role is to maintain moistureéquilibre and thus preserve deep hydration. When this barrier is altered, water evaporates more easily, resulting in trans-epidermal water loss, leading to dryness and tightness. Several factors can explain this dehydration:
-
Environmental aggressors Cold, dry air, pollution and prolonged exposure to the sun all weaken the skin.
-
Use of unsuitable products Aggressive cleansers and cosmetics containing alcohol tend to dry out the skin.
-
Ageing skin Over time, the skin produces less lipids and hyaluronic acid, essential for its elasticity.
-
Diet and lifestyle A diet low in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, as well as stress and smoking, are all detrimental to skin quality.
Solutions for restoring skin hydration
1. Adopt a moisturizing skincare routine
-
Use gentle, sulfate-free cleansers sulfate-free to avoid damaging the hydrolipidic film.
-
Apply creams rich in ceramides, hyaluronic acid and lipid-replenishing agents such as nourishing oils to restore the skin barrier and seal in moisture.
-
Protect your skin with sunscreen to limit the impact of UV rays.
2. Improve hydration from within with Evoleum cures
