Reversa Collagenique: Collagen Care for Skin After 40
By Cheryl Gushue
Reversa Collagenique is a Canadian collagen skincare line built for skin longevity. The new Collagenique serum (30 mL) and Collagenique body cream (150 mL) join the brand’s No. 1 bestselling Collagenique cream. Together they target firmness, hydration and barrier strength. Those are the three priorities for skin after 40.
Collagen is the protein that keeps skin firm and bouncy. Prevention and correction work best side by side, at any age.
What Is Reversa Collagenique?
Collagenique is Reversa’s pro collagen family. It now includes three products: the Collagenique cream (50 mL), the new Collagenique serum and the new Collagenique body cream.
Every formula is 100% vegan and cruelty-free.
Each one is free of parabens, silicones, alcohol and synthetic perfume. All are tested under dermatological control.
Reversa comes from Dermtek Pharma, founded in Montreal in 1986. It was the first fully Canadian pharmaceutical company focused on dermatological products. Dermtek created the sunscreen brand Ombrelle in 1990, later sold to L’Oréal. That dermatology background shows in these formulas.
Why Collagen Care Matters More After 40
Collagen production slows every year from our mid-twenties. Menopause speeds it up. Studies show skin can lose around 30 percent of its collagen in the first five years after menopause. You see it as softer contours, finer lines and skin that takes longer to bounce back.
This is where targeted ingredients earn their place. Peptides send firming signals. Humectants hold water. Lipids repair the barrier. The collagenique serum delivers all three.
Inside the Collagenique Serum Formula
The Collagenique serum is a lightweight, silky treatment for every skin type. It absorbs fast and leaves skin soft. The formula is 97% ingredients of natural origin.
What do the three peptides in Collagenique serum do?
Three targeted peptides firm the skin and support its structure. They also create a smooth, reflective glass skin effect. Reversa says the serum helps preserve and strengthen the skin’s own collagen.
Polyglutamic acid, hyaluronic acid and 4% squalane
Polyglutamic acid (PGA) delivers deep, lasting hydration. Fragmented hyaluronic acid plumps the skin on contact. Squalane at 4% reinforces the lipid barrier. This trio matters after 40, when skin holds less water, and the barrier weakens.
The cellular youth complex
This botanical blend combines goji, watercress and Quebec sea buckthorn leaf extracts. It visibly smooths expression lines and crow’s feet. It also helps defend skin against the environmental stressors that speed up visible aging.
The promised results: deeply hydrated, plumped skin that looks lifted. A more even, luminous complexion. A stronger barrier with less redness.
The Collagenique Body Cream Firms Skin Below the Jawline
Your neck, chest, arms and legs age too. Most routines stop at the chin. The Collagenique Body Cream brings the same collagen focus to the rest of your body. It is 94% ingredients of natural origin.
What is carnosine and why is it in a body cream?
Carnosine is an antioxidant dipeptide. It helps preserve skin integrity and protects against premature aging. It is the anchor ingredient in this formula.
Green microalgae, 2% niacinamide and 2% panthenol
Green microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris) improves firmness and softens the look of uneven pigmentation. Niacinamide at 2% tones and strengthens. Panthenol at 2% soothes and replenishes. Goji extract adds antioxidant support. A 72-hour moisturizing booster keeps skin hydrated for up to three days. The cream helps preserve collagen and elastin. It also reduces the appearance of redness, spider veins and stretch marks. The texture is rich but absorbs quickly with no sticky residue.
How to Layer the Reversa Collagenique Routine
- Face, morning and evening: Apply the collagenique serum to clean skin across the entire face. Massage gently.
- Seal it in: Follow with the collagenique cream to boost hydration and firmness.
- Body, morning and evening: Massage the collagenique body cream into clean skin until absorbed. Focus on the areas that need firming, like the neck, décolleté, upper arms and thighs.
- Daytime: Finish your face with a broad-spectrum SPF. Sun protection is the most effective collagen strategy there is.
My pro tip: bring the serum down your neck and chest. Those areas show collagen loss early. They deserve the same attention as your face.
Is Reversa Collagenique Good for Women Over 40?
As a beauty editor, I look at three things: the ingredient story, the brand’s science and the price. Collagenique scores on all three.
The serum pairs peptides with a layered hydration system. That is the right strategy for mature skin. The body cream uses named actives at stated percentages. Clear percentages mean a brand stands behind its formula. The price is accessible for a Canadian-made dermatological formula.
