Your skin has lost its radiance. Your complexion looks dull, your features tired, and fine lines more pronounced than before. Despite taking good care of your skincare routine, something is missing. That something is often what is happening inside.
Why skin loses its radiance
Skin is living tissue that is constantly regenerating. But from the age of 25, natural collagen production begins to decline - by around 1% per year. Along with it, the skin's firmness, elasticity and hydration gradually deteriorate. Radiance depends on good microcirculation, optimal hydration and effective protection against oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress - caused by pollution, smoking, an unbalanced diet or the sun - accelerates skin ageing by damaging existing collagen and elastin fibers. Hormonal influence also plays a role: fluctuations in progesterone and estrogen directly affect skin quality, particularly during the premenstrual period or menopause.
Nutritional deficiencies also play a frequently underestimated role. A lack of vitamin C, zinc or essential fatty acids can result in dehydrated skin that is more sensitive to external aggressors and less radiant.
Key natural active ingredients for plumper skin
Vitamin C is the ultimate anti-ageing active ingredient. It contributes to normal collagen formation to support normal skin function and protects cells from oxidative stress. Taken internally, it works deep down where creams cannot reach.
Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin. Naturally concentrated in skin tissue, it supports cell regeneration and protects tissues from external aggressors. Vitamin E and selenium help protect cells from oxidative stress, working synergistically to limit premature ageing.
Borage oil, rich in essential fatty acids (gamma-linolenic acid), restores the skin's hydrolipidic film and limits water loss. Dehydrated skin often owes its renewed suppleness and comfort to it.
Finally, collagen - but not just any collagen. While marine collagens are the best known, equally effective vegetarian alternatives exist, backed by clinical studies.
How to choose the right supplements for your skin
A few criteria can guide your choice. The dosage of active ingredients should correspond to the doses studied clinically - an under-dosed collagen supplement will not provide any visible benefit. The formula should be designed to work synergistically: vitamin C to stimulate collagen synthesis, antioxidants to protect it, and fatty acids for hydration. Capsule form is ideal here for protecting the active ingredients from oxidation. And the presence of a clinical study on the key active ingredient remains the most reliable mark of quality.
Epycure's solution for firmer, plumper skin
Epycure Laboratoire's Plumper Skin Course was formulated to work deep down on skin firmness, hydration and radiance. Its key active ingredient, Reggenerate™, is a patented eggshell membrane extract naturally concentrated in collagen (types I, V and X), elastin and hyaluronic acid. These three components, essential to the structure and hydration of the dermis, form a complete matrix that works synergistically to combat skin ageing.
Reggenerate™ was validated by a double-blind clinical study on 50 volunteers (60 days, 300 mg/day): increased skin firmness and elasticity, reduced skin fatigue and improved barrier function. This is the exact dose incorporated into the formula.
The course also contains:
- Vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation for the skin;
- Zinc and biotin, which contribute to the maintenance of normal skin;
- Vitamin E and selenium, which help protect cells from oxidative stress;
- Borage oil, to restore deep hydration.
Results validated by Lab'Epycure: 97% found the course effective for skin beauty and firmness, 78% had less pronounced wrinkles and fine lines, and 97% had more hydrated skin*.
*32 people tested the course for 3 months.
Formulated with 95.1% ingredients of natural origin and manufactured in France in a certified laboratory. An effective vegetarian alternative to marine collagens, in just 2 capsules per day.
Progression of results: on Day 30, optimized skin hydration. On Day 60, refined skin texture. On Day 90, visibly improved firmness.

What to remember
Radiant skin is built from within. The right combination of collagen, vitamin C, antioxidants and fatty acids can transform your skin quality over the long term - where creams cannot reach. The key is to choose clinically studied active ingredients, in effective doses, within a formula designed to work synergistically.
