Rated by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

Elastin

Elastin restores the skin by boosting hydration up to 77.2 percent, strengthening the moisture barrier, softening dark spots, and encouraging the natural production of collagen and elastin. This gentle ingredient suits both dry and oily skin types particularly well when applied in lightweight serums. It fits seamlessly into a daily regimen because the formulas layer easily with other products.
