The Mary\u0026amp;May White Collagen Cleansing Foam whips into a thick cushion lather and carries hydrolysed collagen extract at 46.6% with niacinamide at 1%, so the step gives something back rather than only taking away. Mary\u0026amp;May formulates in Seoul with concentrations printed on the ingredient list, which is rarer than it should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHydrolysed collagen draws water into the surface layers rather than rebuilding anything:\u003c\/strong\u003e Collagen molecules are far too large to enter the skin, and the hydrolysed form is a mix of peptides and amino acids that hold water at the surface. At 46.6% of the formula it changes how skin feels after rinsing; it does not add collagen to the dermis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNiacinamide is present at 1% and stated on the list:\u003c\/strong\u003e Niacinamide limits pigment transfer into surface skin cells and moderates sebum. In a rinse-off product at this level the effect is slight next to a serum, and a stated figure still beats an unstated one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe lather comes at the cost of a saponified soap base:\u003c\/strong\u003e Myristic, palmitic, stearic and lauric acids neutralised with potassium hydroxide create the density. That chemistry runs alkaline, so skin that dislikes soap-based cleansers will notice it here whatever else is in the formula.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTexture \u0026amp; Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lather is thick and cushioning, closer to shaving foam than to a gel wash, and it rinses quickly. Skin feels thoroughly clean, with the slight tautness a soap base produces. Beeswax sits in the formula and it carries a light fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkin types:\u003c\/strong\u003e Normal, combination and oily skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkin concerns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Daily cleansing, dullness, uneven tone, and excess oil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest used by:\u003c\/strong\u003e If you like the feeling of a proper foam and want one that is not purely subtractive, this sits between the two.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How does this compare with a low-pH gel cleanser?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: A low-pH gel stays near the skin's own acidity and leaves it feeling settled rather than squeaky. This is a saponified foam, so it cleanses harder and runs alkaline, with the collagen and niacinamide offsetting part of that. Skin that runs dry or reactive will prefer the gel; skin that likes a real lather will prefer this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does collagen in skincare rebuild the collagen in my skin?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No. Collagen molecules are too large to pass the skin barrier, and topical collagen simply holds water at the surface. The hydrolysed form here is peptides and amino acids doing exactly that. Raising collagen in the skin happens through other actives, such as retinoids or Vitamin C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use this as a second cleanse?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. On days with sunscreen or makeup, use an oil cleanser or balm first and this as the water-based step. The routine then runs toner or essence, actives, moisturiser, and sunscreen last in the morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA number like 46.6% only means something once you know what it buys, and here it buys a wash in which hydrolysed collagen peptides are holding water at the skin's surface for as long as the lather is on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sn-explore-more\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExplore more\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiscover more \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/collections\/collagen\"\u003ecollagen\u003c\/a\u003e formulas, find targeted care for \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/collections\/pigmentation\"\u003epigmentation\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse the full \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/collections\/mary-may\"\u003eMary \u0026amp; May\u003c\/a\u003e range.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mary\u0026May","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47822572683598,"sku":"MMC03-FW","price":21.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/5057\/0062\/files\/MMC03-FW.png?v=1778671447","url":"https:\/\/skinnomid.com\/en-ca\/products\/mary-may-white-collagen-cleansing-foam","provider":"Skin-Nomad","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
