Skin science
Skin is more than what you see.
Explore the layers and structures beneath the surface — and discover the science behind healthier skin.
01 of 05 — Epidermis: Your skin's outermost layer forms the first line of defense between your body and the world around you.
02 of 05 — Dermis: Located beneath the epidermis, the dermis provides much of the skin's structural support and contains important connective tissue, vessels, and follicles.
03 of 05 — Collagen: Collagen is a key structural protein that helps give skin its strength, structure, and resilience.
04 of 05 — Pigment: Melanin is the natural pigment responsible for much of the color we see in skin, hair, and eyes.
05 of 05 — Hair Follicle: Hair follicles are specialized structures within the skin that produce and support hair growth.
