There are times in the life of a team when the joy of seeing their work dedicated takes precedence over the search for performance, in the list of reasons which make them love their professional activity.
Driven by the idea of supporting their consumers towards greater well-being, the collaborators of the MyPureSkin laboratories understand only too well the difficulty you may experience in finding a product that suits you on the anti-aging nutricosmetics market.
Worse still: we know full well that it is difficult to navigate between technical terms, the arguments of content marketing that is sometimes too little factual and the unfulfilled promises.
Far from being part of this approach to communication which aims for perpetual escalation, we believe at MyPureSkin that the information provided must have added value.
This is why the editorial line of our articles in the “Journal” section is intended, as much as possible, to be transparent, factual and geared towards popularizing science.
In this regard, our efforts are mainly invested in explaining the mechanisms of maintaining your skin health and in exploring what makes the active ingredients available on the anti-aging food supplement market relevant.
To best guide you in your choices, we do not hesitate to regularly publish articles which talk about the present state of anti-aging medicine and which explore the solutions being studied for its future state.
However, we have never had the opportunity to explain in detail how our products are able to fit into a meaningful beauty routine, in accordance with the advice we regularly provide in our articles.
This is now done since we now have a detailed report written by the STI (Skin Test Institute of Neuchâtel) giving an objective account of the results of a MyCollagenLift treatment.
So what are the facts behind the beauty claims that you can find on our MyCollagenLift product page ?
What results are verified on the skin? How long ?
Follow us in the footsteps of a rigorous clinical trial to learn everything about the scientifically proven effects of our flagship food supplement. In other words: let's find out together why MyCollagenLift really helps you stay young!
Clinical trial of MyCollagenLift: protocol and results of a proven scientific approach
No less than an independent institute was needed to guarantee the objectivity of the analysis of this well-known food supplement from our anti-aging range.
Happy to have been compiling customer feedback for years whose omnipresent satisfaction encourages us to maintain our level of quality and to constantly seek to improve it through adapted practice, we still had to verify the reality of its theoretical benefits and the subjective feelings that result from objective measurements.
It is with this in mind that the scientific rigor of a double-blind randomized clinical study was the only possible option.
From placebo to verum: how do we know that MyCollagenLift is really effective?

From placebo to verum: how do we know that MyCollagenLift is really effective?
In this context, the results of the use of a placebo product were compared to those obtained by the use of MyCollagenLift, known as “verum product” or simply “verum”, over a 12-week course.
If the content of the verum corresponded well to the MyCollagenLift formula, that of the placebo (placed in an identical stick for a single user experience) did not contain any active ingredient capable of producing a particular effect.
The conclusions drawn by the independent clinical trial organization STI were unequivocal: MyCollagenLift is definitely effective in anti-aging!
To use the words of the STI, it would be more accurate to say that a “statistically significant improvement” was noted following treatments based on MyCollagenLift for the following skin properties:
- Wrinkle exfoliation level;
- Hydration level;
- Density level of the dermis;
- Level of elasticity;
- Firmness level;
- Brightness level.
All the areas initially targeted by the product have benefited from the beauty benefits, that is to say:
- The face;
- The neck/nape area;
- The cleavage.
But how was the STI able to draw such conclusions? How do the results of the clinical trial allow us to say whether MyCollagenLift is really effective?
Let's see together what makes the MyCollagenLift clinical study impeccable and why you will likely be very satisfied with a treatment with this anti-aging food supplement.
The conditions for a serious study: protocol and results of the MyCollagenLift clinical trial
Key aspects of a proper clinical trial
For MyCollagenLift to be properly evaluated, the clinical trial used to study it must not be biased.
In other words: several rules must be observed in order to guarantee that other factors do not weigh on the appearance of the effects due to MyCollagenLift (such as, for example, the belief that the product consumed will provide effects because the We know that it is indeed MyCollagenLift and not the placebo and that we have heard very good feedback from other consumers).
Let's take a look at the reasons that make the MyCollagenLift clinical trial a serious and scientifically rigorous study.
A randomized trial
Why randomize?
“Random” is the English translation of “random”. The objective here is to compose groups of experimental subjects (volunteer “patients”) which are as representative of reality as possible.
In other words: the trial subjects must be statistically representative of the consumer panel for which MyCollagenLift was designed (as opposed to, for example, a specific subcategory of this panel).
This means that the constitution of the panel of subjects was composed taking care to avoid selection bias. In fact, this leads to two essential aspects allowing the typical MyCollagenLift consumer to ensure that the results of the clinical trial will be broadly applicable to their case:
- A separation of the panel into two groups: a control group consuming a placebo and a group consuming the “verum” (i.e. a real stick of MyCollagenLift)
- A homogeneous composition of the two groups in terms of profiles so that the results of the control group are comparable to those of the target group
The randomized panel of the MyCollagenLift clinical trial
In this regard, the STI institute has composed a panel of subjects with the following characteristics:
- Women
- aged 40 to 70
- Perfectly understanding French or English (to limit communication errors when collecting information upstream and downstream of the experimental protocol)
- Fully aware and consenting to the objectives and details of the experimental protocol of the clinical trial
- Healthy (no known chronic illness)
- Skin phototype ranging from I to IV
- Caucasian
- Whose skin has been naturally aged over time by normal exposure to the sun's UV rays
- Whose skin has normal lines and wrinkles resulting from a natural aging process in the following areas: face, neck and décolleté
This means that subjects not meeting these prerequisites were systematically excluded from the panel, the watchword remaining once again “control of bias for a real evaluation of the effects of MyCollagenLift”.
A double-blind trial
Likewise, it is imperative that the personnel in charge of providing the placebo or verum to the experimental subjects do not bias the results of the study, even unintentionally.
Why double blind
Indeed, the simple fact that the employee knows which product (placebo or verum) is provided to the subjects can change their perception of the situation and impact their behavior. A change in one's behavior can in turn be a cue to subjects who may understand or misinterpret the situation, potentially creating a preconception about which of the two products is given to them.
In such a situation, it is difficult to measure the effectiveness of the placebo alone in one group and of MyCollagenLift in the other group.
In this sense, a serious clinical trial cannot avoid a double-blind procedure (i.e. a procedure in which neither the subject nor the personnel responsible for providing the products can know whether the product provided is a placebo or a verum).
The terms of execution of the MyCollagenLift clinical trial
In order to conduct the clinical trial over a sufficiently long time frame to see the appearance of results over time and determine exactly within what time frame MyCollagenLift proves effective, the duration of 12 weeks was divided into 4 key time points serving as a reference for measurements:
- Measurement point 1: the starting point of the clinical trial
- Measurement point 2: exactly 2 weeks after the start of the clinical trial
- Measurement point 3: exactly 4 weeks after the start of the clinical trial
- Measurement point 4: exactly 12 weeks after the start of the clinical trial
With daily intake of the product (placebo for the control group and verum MyCollagenLift for the target group), it was possible to measure the evolution of the skin over a 3-month course at one sixth of the course, one third of the treatment and at the end of the treatment.
Methods for collecting results: scientific objectivity and testimony from typical consumers
If for the MyPureSkin collaborators (accustomed to receiving excellent feedback from consumers), it seemed obvious that the testimonies of the subjects of the clinical trial would do justice to MyCollagenLift, they are above all the results of a scientifically accurate measurement of the condition of their skin which proved interesting to know the real effectiveness of the food supplement.
To check the skin condition of the face, the neck/nape area and the décolleté, at the beginning, during and at the end of the clinical trial, the STI used a set of technologies with appropriate precision, in particular:
- The “Colorface” facial scanner (a standardized 2D image acquisition device capable of giving an overall view of the face in order to detect the tiniest changes in skin pigmentation, useful for measuring the 'glow)
- The “Corneometer CM 825” corneometer (a device capable of measuring the level of skin hydration at a depth of 10 to 20 micrometers, in order to assess the exact state of the epidermis on a microscopic scale at the time of measurement)
- The “Cutometer” (a device exerting suction through a suction effect, allowing the levels of elasticity and firmness of the skin to be measured)
- The “Dermalab Ultrasound” emission-reception couple (a device capable of measuring the density of the dermis, necessary for evaluating the effects of MyCollagenLift in depth, under the epidermis)
In parallel with these tools, the STI made available to the subjects of the clinical trial a questionnaire allowing them to evaluate the subjective feeling of the effects of MyCollagenLift.
Clear results: the absolute effectiveness of MyCollagenLift
As specified in the conclusions of the clinical trial conducted by the STI, the anti-aging and skin maintenance properties of MyCollagenLift are confirmed thanks to a statistically significant improvement in the skin. This is found in different aspects through the following beauty claims, stated by the STI itself in its report:
- “MyCollagenLift helps reduce the depth of crow's feet wrinkles”
- “MyCollagenLift improves skin hydration”
- “MyCollagenLift helps redensify the dermis”
- “MyCollagenLift helps improve facial skin elasticity”
- “MyCollagenLift helps improve the elasticity of the skin on the neck and back”
- MyCollagenLift helps improve the elasticity of the skin of the décolleté”
- MyCollagenLift helps improve facial skin firmness
- MyCollagenLift helps improve the firmness of the skin on the neck and back of the neck
- MyCollagenLift helps improve the firmness of the skin of the décolleté
- MyCollagenLift helps improve overall skin radiance”
If these results are indisputable, it remains to be seen how long it takes for them to be visible.
Progressive and noticeable: how does the action of MyCollagenLift manifest?
In fact, as the STI notes, the action of MyCollagenLift is progressive and notable.
This observation echoes the advice for use from the MyPureSkin team with regard to MyCollagenLift, namely: a daily treatment for 3 months.
However, as our consumers are often reminded, the results are seen from the first weeks, which is confirmed by the clinical trial.
Better skin hydration
Indeed, in terms of hydration, we note for example, concerning the upper face (around the eyes):
- 1.8% improvement in skin hydration level after 2 weeks of treatment (compared to initial state)
- 14.5% improvement in the skin's hydration level after 4 weeks of treatment (compared to the previous measurement)
- 10.6% improvement in the skin's hydration level after 12 weeks of treatment (compared to the previous measurement)
Better skin elasticity
Likewise, in terms of elasticity, we note improvements in:
- 16.5% after 2 weeks, 23.9% after 4 weeks and 31.3% after 12 weeks of treatment for the upper face
- 4.3% after 2 weeks, 19.9% after 4 weeks and 25.1% after 12 weeks of treatment for the neck and nape area
- 14.9% after 2 weeks, 27% after 4 weeks and 41.6% after 12 weeks of treatment for the décolleté
Better skin firmness
Similarly, in terms of firmness, there are improvements in:
- 8.8% after 2 weeks, 15.1% after 4 weeks and 16.1% after 12 weeks of treatment for the upper face
- 10.9% after 2 weeks, 16.5% after 4 weeks and 18.2% after 12 weeks of treatment for the neck and nape area
- 5.5% after 2 weeks, 16.5% after 4 weeks and 17.4% after 12 weeks of treatment for the décolleté
Better skin radiance
Finally, the radiance of the skin is also regained since we note the following exceptional results:
- 30% improvement in complexion after 2 weeks of taking
- 48% improvement in complexion after 4 weeks of taking
- 38% improvement in complexion after 12 weeks of taking
MyCollagenLift: a concentrate of youth in its purest form
Science has spoken: MyCollagenLift is an exceptionally effective anti-aging food supplement.
In light of these colossal results, a question may still arise for you: how have we managed, at MyPureSkin, to offer you such beauty benefits, without side effects and respectful of your health both on the court and the long term ?
The source of the pure youth concentrate that is MyCollagenLift can be explained by two key aspects of our approach:
- The rigor with which we select our ingredients;
- The relevance of combinations of active ingredients aimed at optimizing effects.
In other words, it is because our ingredients are of 100% natural origin and because we have chosen to compose the MyCollagenLift formula from optimal synergies between them that the results are so spectacular.
Furthermore, these choices are based on a certain ethics. Indeed, beyond the rapid appearance of beauty benefits, it remains essential in our eyes to be able to guarantee the continuity of your “beauty gains” in the long term, as shown by the gradual evolution of the results obtained.
That's why we formulated MyCollagenLift with the following ingredients:
- Bioavailable marine collagen peptides, more effective than conventional non-hydrolyzed collagen;
- Hyaluronic acid capturing nearly 1000 times its weight in water;
- Ceramides from wheat (gluten-free) contributing to normal hydration;
- Organic silicon that can be used as part of normal production of endogenous collagen by your skin cells.
- Vitamin C, an antioxidant extracted from acerola fruit, which also contributes to the normal functioning of bones, cartilage, skin and its metabolism (which helps reduce fatigue when it is too severe). );
- Vitamin E, also helping to protect your cells from oxidative stress by supporting your natural defenses;
- Grape OPCs, natural polyphenols contributing to the normal functioning of your epidermis' defense mechanisms against oxidative stress;
- Zinc, a trace element supporting your body in its effort to maintain a normal regime for your bones, your hair, your nails, your skin and your nervous system, in addition to its antioxidant properties;
- Melon extract combines with all these ingredients to contribute to the natural protection of your skin against free electrons.
Given the scientifically proven anti-aging effectiveness of MyCollagenLift, is there still a need to wait to benefit from the benefits of a first 3-month treatment?
Do good for your skin, choose wisely: choose MyCollagenLift.
