Elastin

Overview

Elastin is a key structural protein in the extracellular matrix that provides skin with its elastic properties and ability to return to its original shape after stretching. It works in conjunction with collagen to maintain skin structure and firmness. Elastin content naturally decreases with age, contributing to loss of skin elasticity and the appearance of fine lines.

Elastin is well-documented in dermatological literature as essential for skin elasticity. Research shows that maintaining elastin content supports skin structure and appearance, particularly in aging skin where elastin degradation is a key factor in elasticity loss.
