Clinically Informed Collagen Care: Why This New Moisturiser Matters

Spring is here — lighter days, softer layers and the perfect moment to give your skin something genuinely new. Enter Medik8 Advanced Pro-Collagen + Peptide Cream: not just another moisturiser, but a next-generation structural support cream built to work beneath the surface. What’s exciting is the combination — peptide signalling, NAD⁺ longevity science and anti-glycation protection — all delivered in a wearable, comfort-first texture you can use every day. It’s engineered to boost the conditions that let collagen and elastin do their job, while the barrier support keeps your routine calm and consistent. According to Medik8 research, results showed a 45% increase in collagen and noticeable improvements within just seven days of use.

What's new?

Medik8 Advanced Pro-Collagen + Peptide Cream stands apart because its new three-part system maps directly to how your skin actually ages — fading repair signals, low cellular energy and cumulative damage. Here’s why each pillar matters for your skin and what you’ll likely notice when they work together:

Signal — Growth Factor MiniProtein™
Why it matters: As you age the biochemical cues that tell skin to renew slow down. The MiniProtein™ restores those messages, nudging the cells that build collagen and elastin to act more regularly.
What you’ll notice: Gradual gains in firmness and a smoother surface over weeks.
Support — NAD⁺ longevity booster
Why it matters: Signals are only useful if cells have the energy to respond. NAD⁺ recharges cellular repair systems so the peptide signal translates into actual rebuilding.
What you’ll notice: More consistent improvements and fewer setbacks when you use actives or recover from treatments.
Protect — anti-glycation complex
Why it matters: Everyday sugars and environmental stress can stiffen collagen, reducing spring. Anti-glycation defence preserves collagen flexibility so the structure you build remains elastic.
What you’ll notice: Longer-lasting bounce and less of the “stiff” or sagging look caused by hardened fibres.

Put simply: Signal gives the instruction, Support provides the power to act, and Protect preserves the result. Together in one wearable cream, these actions shift your routine from short-term surface fixes to steady structural care — so your skin feels firmer, looks fresher and tolerates other treatments more easily.

Why structure matters

Surface benefits — glow, hydration, smoothness — are the instant wins you notice and enjoy when it comes to your complexion. They’re the visible polish. Structure is the quiet work beneath: collagen and elastin form the framework, while hyaluronic components act as the cushions that keep everything plump and responsive. When that framework weakens through sun, sugar and time, the outfit — your skin — loses its shape and the quick wins don’t last.

Supporting your skins structure is your practical, long-term move: it preserves the shape those surface benefits sit on, and it makes your serums, actives and clinic treatments more effective because they’re working on a healthier foundation. Think of it as architecture, not decoration — shore up the scaffolding and the façade stays handsome. That steady approach reduces the need for constant “quick fixes,” lowers the risk of irritation from over-treating, and rewards you with results that build week by week. This cream is designed for that long view while still feeling light and wearable today — so you get comfort now and resilience over time.

The 3 Core Pillars — made simple

1. Growth Factor MiniProtein™ — the polite nudge
Peptides act like tiny couriers, nudging repair cells. This specific MiniProtein™ helps prompt collagen and elastin production — a gentle, repeatable encouragement rather than a shock to the system.

2. NAD⁺ longevity support — the battery pack
NAD⁺ supplies the energy cells need to respond. Think of peptides as instructions; NAD⁺ is the power that lets the team execute them efficiently. When cell energy is supported, repair processes run better.

3. Anti-glycation defence — the rust inhibitor
Glycation stiffens collagen (picture a rusty spring). Anti-glycation elements help protect collagen from this stiffening, keeping fibres flexible so skin retains bounce.

Together, these actions build a sensible pathway from ingredient to visible result: signal → energy → protection.

(Clinical note: claims referenced as reported by Medik8 clinical studies — ex-vivo 45% collagen increase; 7-day appearance improvements in a 60-participant clinical study.)

Comfort Architecture

High-performance actives matter only if you can tolerate them. Medik8's Advanced Pro-Collagen + Peptide Cream skin-smart formula pairs the structural actives with barrier-first ingredients:

Ceramides to rebuild and protect the barrier.
Polyglutamic acid for prolonged hydration (complements hyaluronic acid).
Gentle oils and antioxidants to soothe and reduce irritation.

The result: a cream that supports structure and keeps your skin comfortable so you can stay consistent — the most important factor for long-term change.

Who this suits

You'll love Medik8 Advanced Pro-Collagen + Peptide Cream if...
You use active serums (vitamin C, retinoids) and want a supportive moisturiser that layers well.
You’ve had treatments (LED, needling, lasers) and need a post-treatment cushion.
You prefer fewer, smarter steps: one moisturiser that supports structure and tolerance.
You’re seeing early laxity and want steady support (not instant fixes).

How it fits in your routine?

Choose an option that fits your goals; think of these as suggestions (not rules):

Everyday foundation: Cleanse → Vitamin C (AM) → Medik8 Advanced Pro-Collagen + Peptide Cream → SPF.
Post-treatment cushion: Cleanse → Soothing serum → Medik8 Advanced Pro-Collagen + Peptide Cream → lightweight oil (PM recovery).
Actives balance: Retinoid on nominated nights → followed by Medik8 Advanced Pro-Collagen + Peptide Cream to seal and soothe.
Minimalist: Gentle cleanser → Medik8 Advanced Pro-Collagen + Peptide Cream AM (+ SPF) & PM.

For a personalised plan, consider a complimentary discovery chat with a Skinmart therapist.

What to expect

Immediate: softer application, more comfortable skin; SPF and makeup apply more evenly.
2–4 weeks: refined micro-texture and steadier hydration.
8–12+ weeks: cumulative structural benefits — firmer feel and improved density with consistent use.
