Everyone's skin is different and so are everyone's skin goals. But if there's one thing we all want, regardless of our skin type or needs, it's hydration. Healthy, beautifully-hydrated skin not only feels great, it's also stronger and more resilient with a plump appearance, reduced lines and silky-smooth texture. 

Happily, powerful hydration and so many other skin benefits are an achievable goal with Superdrug's Optimum Collagen collection. This complete range of four products has everything you need to restore moisture levels, soften skin texture and target the appearance of fine lines. Combining moisturising plant collagen with plumping actives, this science-led range works in harmony with your skin to help reduce signs of ageing and what's more, the results keep getting better with time.

A deep dive on ingredients

Every product in Superdrug's Optimum Collagen range, from the best-selling Day Cream and Serum to the deeply nourishing Night Cream and Eye Cream, is designed to boost moisture levels and skin strength for a hydrated, radiant complexion. Even better, the entire range is vegan and cruelty-free. 

Want to know more? Here's what's inside:

Plant Collagen
Collagen is known as the building block of healthy, plump skin. The Optimum Collagen range's wheat, soy and corn protein-derived plant collagen is a moisture and density-boosting powerhouse that gently conditions and helps to fortify the complexion.  

Vitamin C
Vitamin C has powerful antioxidant properties, which help your skin defend itself against environmental damage from UV, pollution and smoke. This in turn can help prevent skin dulling and collagen degradation to boost radiance, skin clarity and texture. 

Vitamin B3
Vitamin B3, also known as niacinamide, is revered as as a gentle giant in the skincare world. As well as a powerful restorative and anti-inflammatory action, Vitamin B3 can help strengthen the skin barrier and preserve hydration for multitasking benefits without irritation.

Hyaluronic and polyglutamic acids
These hydrating humectant ingredients both work to draw moisture into the skin and keep it there. Hyaluronic acid is a well-known industry hero hailed for its ability to hold 1000 times its own weight in water. Polyglutamic acid is a buzzy new hero, as it can hold up to five times that amount as well as forming a weightless seal to stop moisture escaping.

Peptides
This group of ingredients can perform a variety of useful functions in helping reduce the signs of ageing. They work by communicating with the skin cells and can send signals that help re-energise collagen and elastin production that has slowed with age.
