Ingredients

When will I notice a difference?

Every skin responds on its own timeline. We recommend a full 4-6 weeks of daily use to see how CollagenGuard works for you. The peptides and Vitamin C build up gradually with consistent application.

What if my skin is fussy?

CollagenGuard is made to be gentle enough for daily use, but every face is different. If you have known ingredient sensitivities, review the full INCI or patch-test on your inner arm for 24 hours before applying to your face. If you're new to Vitamin C, start every other morning for 1-2 weeks before moving to daily use.

Which serum is right for me?

CollagenGuard is built for firming, smoothing, and the look of fine lines. If you're between formulas, the $19 Kit lets you try all five and pick your winner. Your $19 becomes credit toward the full-size.

Will I purge?

Peptides and Vitamin C don't typically cause the purging that stronger ingredients can. Some people experience a short adjustment period. If your skin feels a little different in the first 2 weeks, it usually settles. If anything still feels off after 3 weeks, stop using it and email us at info@chrysalisskinlab.com.

Can I use this with retinol?

Most people can use CollagenGuard with retinol. Apply CollagenGuard in the morning and retinol at night. Using both on the same skin at the same time can be too much for many. If it feels like too much, use them on separate days.

Can I return it if I don't like it?

Yes. You get 30 days to try it. If CollagenGuard doesn't work for your skin, reach out to us at info@chrysalisskinlab.com and we'll walk you through the process.

Do I need a moisturizer with this?

Yes. Put your usual daily moisturizer on top of CollagenGuard. The serum is designed to sit under moisturizer, not replace it. In the morning, always follow with SPF 30+ (Vitamin C paired with sunscreen is a powerful daily combo).

AM or PM?

AM. CollagenGuard is a daytime serum. Apply in the morning after cleansing, followed by moisturizer and SPF 30+. Vitamin C pairs well with daily sun protection.
