QMS Medicosmetics has revamped their soluble collagen creams that will leave the skin feeling softer and looking younger. Their soluble collagen cream is completely pure and natural, obtained by a very advanced technical procedure that guarantees it retains its inherent properties. The difference between this collagen and that of other brands is that QMS’s collagen can stay active and effective up to 37’C, while others have a short-term hydrating period. So despite environmental factors, QMS’s collagen retains moisture, protecting and nourishing the skin.
