How to Choose the Best Collagen Skincare Products for Sun Damage

Written by: Ildiko Juhasz

Time to read 7 min

We’ve all heard it before: "Don’t forget your sunscreen!" But let’s face it, the sun doesn’t just leave us with a golden tan. Over time, sun exposure wreaks havoc on our skin. Sunburn, sunspots, and premature wrinkles all start creeping in. However, not all hope is lost—enter collagen.


But how does collagen help reverse sun damage? And what should you look for when choosing the best collagen skincare products? Let’s break it down in a cool, trendy, and professional way, so you know exactly what to stock your skincare shelf with this season.

The Best Collagen Skincare Products: Why Collagen is Essential for Reversing Sun Damage

Collagen, often called the skin's building block, is a protein that plays a vital role in keeping your skin firm, elastic, and youthful. It’s naturally produced in our bodies, but here’s the kicker—after the age of 20, we start losing about 1% of our collagen every year. Yikes!


And that’s not all. Exposure to UV radiation from the sun accelerates this process. UV rays break down collagen fibers in the dermis (the deeper layer of the skin), leading to sagging, wrinkles, and sun damage. When your skin loses collagen, it can’t repair itself as efficiently, resulting in those dreaded fine lines, rough textures, and uneven skin tone.


So, what’s the solution? Skincare products rich in collagen-boosting ingredients can help restore your skin's resilience, reduce sun damage, and give you back that youthful glow.

Step 1: Understanding the Different Types of Collagen

Before we dive into specific products, it’s essential to know that there are different types of collagen that your skin needs. For skincare, the most important types are:


  1. Type I Collagen: Found in the skin, this is the most abundant type and is responsible for skin strength and structure.

  2. Type III Collagen: This is found alongside Type I and helps improve skin elasticity. This extracellular matrix protein is synthesized by cells as a pre-procollagen. It is found as a major structural component in hollow organs such as large blood vessels, uterus and bowel.

  3. Type IV Collagen: Plays a role in cell regeneration and overall skin health.

The best collagen skincare products will often work to boost these types of collagen for optimal results.

Step 2: Key Ingredients to Look for in Collagen Skincare Products

Now that you know the types of collagen, it’s time to discover the powerful ingredients that stimulate collagen production. These are the game-changers when it comes to reversing sun damage:

  1. Vitamin C: This superstar antioxidant is essential for collagen synthesis. It neutralizes free radicals (caused by sun exposure) and aids in the formation of new collagen. Look for products like Revoderm’s Multivitamin Moisturizer, which includes 10% Vitamin C to boost collagen and brighten sun-damaged skin.

  2. Retinol (Vitamin A): Retinol promotes skin cell turnover and increases collagen production. It’s a powerhouse for reducing wrinkles, sunspots, and hyperpigmentation. Revoderm’s Retinol Night Cream offers a potent prescription-strength retinol that dramatically improves skin texture.

  3. Peptides: These amino acid compounds are collagen’s best friend. They signal your skin to produce more collagen, helping to repair and restore damaged skin. Products like Revoderm’s HA + Prebiotics Serum contain peptides to enhance collagen levels while keeping the skin hydrated.

  4. Hyaluronic Acid: This isn’t collagen per se, but it’s a crucial ingredient for maintaining skin moisture and plumping fine lines. Revoderm’s Intense Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum helps lock in moisture, allowing collagen to work its magic more effectively.

  5. Antioxidants: Ingredients like Vitamin E, green tea extract, and resveratrol protect collagen fibers from UV damage. They neutralize free radicals, preventing further sun-induced breakdown of collagen.

Step 3: How Revoderm Products Take Collagen Skincare to the Next Level

When it comes to sun damage, Revoderm has curated an exceptional range of dermatologist-developed products that not only protect but also reverse the signs of sun damage, including boosting collagen production.


Here’s why Revoderm’s Age Defy Antioxidant Mineral Sunscreen stands out:

  • Unlike many sunscreens that just block UV rays, this sunscreen goes a step further. Formulated with 20% Zinc Oxide and Venuceane™, it not only protects your skin but actively repairs damage at the cellular level.

  • Venuceane™ is a heat-activated antioxidant that reverses visible signs of aging while protecting against infrared radiation.

  • This makes the Age Defy Mineral Sunscreen an ideal anti-aging option for every skin type and every season. Plus, it's gentle enough for sensitive skin, oily skin, and even infants over 6 months old.

How is Revoderm Different? The Venuceane™ technology ensures protection beyond just UVA and UVB rays, extending defense against infrared radiation —a wavelength of light that causes heat damage and accelerates aging. Not to mention, it's biodegradable and reef-safe!

Step 4: Dermatologist-Recommended Products to Reverse Sun Damage

When it comes to reversing sun damage, having an arsenal of the right products is key. Let’s explore some of Revoderm’s best picks for sun-damaged skin:


1. Revoderm HA + Prebiotics Serum

This lightweight serum is a multitasking superhero. Infused with hyaluronic acid, peptides, and prebiotics, it boosts collagen production, hydrates deeply, and supports a healthy skin barrier. Perfect for those dealing with sun damage, this serum helps smooth fine lines and restore elasticity.


2. Revoderm Retinol Night Cream

Retinol is one of the most potent ingredients for reversing sun damage. The Revoderm Retinol Night Cream uses prescription-strength retinol to increase collagen production, fade sunspots, and smooth wrinkles. Start slow, as retinol can cause initial dryness—but your skin will thank you for it in the long run!


3. Revoderm Multivitamin Moisturizer

Packed with 5 blends of Vitamin C, this moisturizer is clinically proven to stimulate collagen production. Use this daily to improve skin tone, reduce pigmentation, and give your skin a radiant glow.


4. Revoderm Illuminous Antioxidant Serum

This luxurious serum contains a powerful combination of hyaluronic acid, peptides, and Vitamin C to protect, repair, and lighten the skin. Perfect for fading dark spots, this serum works wonders on sun-damaged skin while boosting collagen.


5. Revoderm Age Defy Antioxidant Mineral Sunscreen

We’ve mentioned this before, but it’s worth repeating! This mineral sunscreen with 20% Zinc Oxide and Venuceane™ not only shields your skin from harmful rays but also repairs existing sun damage. It's the ultimate two-in-one sun protection and anti-aging product.

Step 5: Pairing Skincare with Professional Treatments

While Revoderm’s products are potent and effective, sometimes reversing severe sun damage requires a professional touch. This is where Derm.ca comes in.


At Derm.ca, a skin cancer center led by Dr. Ken Alanen, the team uses cutting-edge technology and treatments to address sun damage. They offer mole mapping, laser treatments, and other advanced procedures to minimize sunspots, redness, and signs of sun damage.


What makes Revoderm products stand out is how they pair beautifully with professional treatments. For instance, after a laser treatment for sun damage, using the Revoderm Redness Relief Moisturizer can calm and hydrate the skin, speeding up the healing process and ensuring long-lasting results.

Step 6: Building Your Collagen-Boosting Routine

Ready to tackle sun damage and boost collagen production? Here’s a step-by-step guide to building your ultimate collagen-boosting skincare routine:

  1. Cleanse: Start with a gentle, hydrating cleanser like Revoderm Detox Facial Cleanser to remove impurities without stripping your skin.

  2. Apply Serum: Next, reach for Revoderm HA + Prebiotics Serum or Illuminous Antioxidant Serum to target collagen synthesis and repair sun damage.

  3. Moisturize: Seal in hydration with Revoderm’s Multivitamin Moisturizer for a powerful dose of Vitamin C and antioxidants.

  4. Protect: Don’t forget sun protection! Use Revoderm Age Defy Antioxidant Mineral Sunscreen daily, even in winter, to prevent further sun damage and support collagen regeneration.

  5. Night Treatment: For your nighttime routine, incorporate the Revoderm Retinol Night Cream to boost collagen production while you sleep.
