What 8 weeks of VeCollal® supplementation does to the skin, according to science.

The benchmark in beauty-from-within has always been measurable efficacy. Now, VeCollal® sets a new one.

A peer-reviewed clinical study by the University of Pavia (Italy) has tested VeCollal®, a plant-based, biomimetic collagen alternative, in a rigorous double-blind, placebo-controlled design. The goal: quantify changes in skin condition after 8 weeks of daily 5g supplementation.

Here’s what the science shows:

🔬 +21.16% skin hydration

Skin hydration was measured via Corneometer. After 8 weeks:

  • VeCollal® group: +21.16% improvement
  • Placebo group: –0.26%
Dry skin is one of the most cited concerns among beauty consumers — and hydration one of the most expected outcomes.


🔬 +10.5% dermal collagen signal

Using DermaLab Combo ultrasound, the study recorded a 10.5% increase in collagen signal intensity for VeCollal®. This indicates real changes in structural skin composition, not just surface-level effects.


🔬 –20.10% visible cellulite volume

Skin surface volume and structure were analysed using 3D Antera imaging.
The result: VeCollal® led to a 20.10% reduction in cellulite visibility — in contrast to +1.59% increase in the placebo group.+1.59% increase in the placebo group.

Cellulite affects over 85% of women and remains one of the most persistent formulation challenges.


Implications for the industry
These outcomes are not only statistically significant — they are strategically relevant. For the first time, a plant-based collagen alternative shows real, quantifiable improvements in the three pillars of beauty-from-within:

  • Hydration

  • Collagen density

  • Cellulite

It’s a clean-label, animal-free ingredient with clinical validation — ready to answer growing consumer demand and regulatory pressure for sustainable innovation.
