Abstract
The present invention relates to topical compositions comprising a collagen enhancing effective amount of a whey protein, vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin C in combination with each other. Vitamin E and vitamin C components are present in specific ranges based on their inverse effect in boosting collagen synthesis. The compositions can enhance the production of collagen in skin and improve the resiliency of the skin. The increased production of collagen using the compositions of the present invention restores proteins and vitamins to the skin and helps alleviate some of the effects of aging and photoaging of skin. The present invention also includes methods of applying the compositions to the skin.
