With age, natural collagen production gradually declines, leading to thinner, less elastic skin, fine lines, sagging and a loss of plump, youthful volume, and Clinique's new Smart Clinical Repair Collagen + PDRN Cream was specifically developed to address early signs of aging caused by collagen decline. This lightweight cream supports firmer, bouncier skin with powerhouse ingredients like collagen, PDRN and peptides, which support the skin's natural repair processes and deliver deep regeneration.
For this formula, Clinique taps into the power of biotech-derived PDRN from soothing centella asiatica, alongside other hero skincare ingredients like hyaluronic acid for hydration and suppleness, and glycerin for enhanced strength and resilience. This sensitive-safe, allergy-tested formula is fragrance-free and additionally excludes oil, parabens, phthalates and other potential irritants.
