Exactly one year ago, the anti-aging skincare line of the dermacosmetic brand Vichy was expanded with the Co-bonding Serum Liftactiv Collagen Specialist 16, which acts on 16 signs of skin aging at once. We tell you why this is the main launch of the past year.
Vichy, a 95-year-old dermatological brand that continues to explore the topic of collagen, last year expanded its famous Liftactiv Collagen Specialist line. Its products promote the production of collagen in the skin, the reserves of which begin to melt away at the age of 25. Given that this structural protein is responsible for a youthful appearance (plump baby cheeks are its obvious triumph), jokes about skin aging starting at 25 no longer seem so funny.

Today, science knows not one, but 16 types of collagen fibers in the skin, each of which solves a very specific problem: overcomes wrinkles, dehydration lines, puffiness, sagging skin, reduced elasticity, smoothness; improves texture, tone, density, strength, radiance, softness, elasticity, hydration, uniformity and helps recovery. All fibers are interconnected and form an elastic framework. Accordingly, the lack of collagen is reflected in 16 directions at once. This does not happen in one day; however, it is worth looking at your photos from 10 years ago, it is striking.
Those who have switched to professional and niche products in search of effective skin care will be surprised by the approach that Vichy is now taking. And it's not just about the packaging (the matte-glossy red bottle of the new Collagen Specialist 16 serum is as pretty as a Christmas tree ornament).
How does the serum for correcting 16 signs of skin aging Co-bonding Serum Liftactiv Collagen Specialist 16, Vichy work?
The Liftactiv Collagen Specialist 16 serum formula strengthens the skin's collagen framework. It combines rhamnose (a natural plant-based sugar) to promote collagen production, matrixyl (a combination of peptides) to enhance fibroblast function, and maitake mushroom extract to protect cells from stress. It also contains vitamin Cg and HEPES acid to remove dead cells and combat pigmentation.
That's not all. The formula also includes recombinant collagen, niacinamide, which helps to release skin radiance and lighten pigmentation, and adenosine, which promotes collagen production.

The serum has joined the Vichy Liftactiv Collagen Specialist collection, which includes
- Liftactiv Collagen Specialist Day Cream,
- Liftactiv Collagen Specialist Night Cream,

Liftactiv Collagen Specialist Day Cream, Vichy
The ingredients are simply stellar. The day cream contains a high concentration of rice peptides and matrixyl. These peptides (which are actually short chains of amino acids) signal skin cells to produce collagen. The formula is enriched with niacinamide to lighten pigmentation and vitamin Cg, which is ascorbyl glucoside, a synthetic form of vitamin C with powerful antioxidant properties and anti-aging effects.
Liftactiv Collagen Specialist Night Cream, Vichy
In the night cream, Cg, which also regulates melanin synthesis, reduces age spots and prevents the appearance of new ones, is combined with antioxidant resveratrol, phytopeptides and thermal water of volcanic origin – all for complete recovery during sleep.
