Learn The 1% Rule, Find Out What Really Causes Wrinkles And Loss Of Firmness, And Discover Which Skincare Ingredients Help Restore Collagen
The 1% rule states that after the age of 25, the body loses about 1 to 1.5% of collagen levels every year. Collagen and elastin (based on the word “elasticity”) are what keep the skin looking lifted, bouncy, and youthful. Less collagen and elastin mean less firmness and elasticity, plus the skin becoming more prone to wrinkles and sagging.
There are multiple layers that make up the skin. And fibroblasts are in the skin’s deepest layer, the dermis. This is why using skincare products with collagen sheet masks, collagen creams, collagen serums that contain collagen, elastin, or hydrolyzed collagen do not increase the skin’s actual collagen levels. Again, the key is to stimulate fibroblast activity, the only source of actual skin collagen and elastin.
Aging is natural but with today’s environmental pollution and stronger UV-rays from the sun, we are now dealing with premature skin aging, in which our skin is aging faster than our actual chronological age.
Here’s the simplified science behind wrinkles, loss of firmness and elasticity, crepey skin and skin sagging: fibroblasts in the skin produce collagen and elastin. And the skin loses collagen and elastin levels because the fibroblasts become less active not only through natural aging but also due to oxidative stress from the sun’s UV-rays. UV-rays breakdown existing collagen and elastin, and also damage fibroblasts, slowing down production of new collagen and elastin.
The Solution To Smooth, Lifted, And Youthful Looking Skin After 25 Years Of Age
The solution needs to be two-fold: 1) restore fibroblast activity to create more collagen and elastin, and 2) help the skin recover from oxidative stress, which is damaging existing collagen and elastin.
The good news is that the Ovaco research team has created powerful collagen and elastin-growth stimulating skincare solutions.
First, how do we help restore fibroblast activity? Ovaco’s research team has developed a powerful and easy skincare solution. While our egg BP (blastoderm pluripotent) stem cell formula has been a successful albeit general solution because the egg BP stem cell helps revitalize our skin’s stem cells to support skin turnover, the skin’s natural rejuvenation process, we wanted to take it to the next level. To specifically help revitalize our skin’s fibroblasts, we discovered the egg EF (embryonic fibroblast) stem cell formula and created the Lenclos EF Elasticity Ampoule.
The egg EF stem cell formula featured in the Lenclos EF Elasticity Ampoule is a targeted skincare ingredient that combined with liposomal technology is able to reach deep into the dermis layer to the skin’s fibroblasts. This target solution helps specifically revitalize fibroblasts, kickstarting youthful levels of collagen and elastin production at any age.
Secondly, how do we help the skin recover from oxidative stress? The answer is skin growth factors and anti-oxidants.

Proven Skincare Ingredients For Wrinkles, Crepey Skin, Sagging Skin, Loss of Elasticity and Firmness
Skin growth factors help support collagen repair and production and also combat oxidative stress by repairing damage and promoting cell renewal, acting as a crucial defense against premature skin aging.
Oxidative stress is caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules caused by UV-rays and pollution that damage skin cells. Antioxidants combat skin aging by neutralizing free radicals before they damage collagen and elastin.
Korean medicinal herbal extracts are rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, and saponins, the most powerful forms of antioxidants. Here are some of the select skin growth factors and Korean medicinal herbal extracts infused into Ovaco’s latest and greatest product, the Lenclos EF Elasticity Ampoule:
sh-Oligopeptide-1: Helps repair skin damaged by oxidative stress by accelerating cell turnover and regeneration, while stimulating collagen production for smoother, firmer-looking skin.
sh-Oligopeptide-2: Supports skin recovery from environmental damage by encouraging healthy cell signaling and renewal, helping reinforce collagen structure and improve elasticity.
sh-Polypeptide-1: Promotes collagen synthesis and helps defend against free radical damage by strengthening the skin barrier, leading to firmer, more resilient skin over time.
sh-Polypeptide-9: Enhances microcirculation and nutrient delivery to skin cells, helping combat oxidative stress while supporting collagen production and overall skin vitality.
sh-Polypeptide-10: Stimulates fibroblast activity—the cells responsible for collagen and elastin—helping repair antioxidant damage and improve skin density and tightness.
sh-Polypeptide-11: Aids in skin regeneration and repair by boosting cellular turnover and supporting collagen network formation, helping skin appear firmer, smoother, and more lifted.
Panax Ginseng Berry Extract: Rich in antioxidants that help neutralize free radical damage, while energizing skin cells and supporting collagen production for firmer, more resilient skin.
Chrysanthemum Flower Extract: Packed with polyphenols that protect against oxidative stress and environmental damage, helping preserve collagen integrity and maintain smooth, supple skin.
Paeonia Lactiflora (Peony) Flower Extract: Helps reduce oxidative damage and inflammation that can break down collagen, supporting a brighter, firmer complexion with improved elasticity.
Hericium Erinaceus (Lion’s Mane Mushroom) Extract: Contains potent antioxidants that help defend against free radicals while promoting skin regeneration and supporting collagen structure for improved firmness.
Ginkgo Biloba Nut Extract: Enhances circulation and delivers antioxidant protection to combat environmental stressors, helping protect collagen fibers and improve skin tightness and firmness.
