You don’t need to wait for wrinkles to appear before caring for your skin. From our thirties, the body’s collagen production gradually begins to decline, and this is where the idea of preventive skin care (Pre-Age) comes in: supporting your skin early with hydration and nourishing ingredients. In this article, the team at We Care Pharmacy introduces the Eye of Horus King Pre-Age Collagen Booster Under 45, explains what we know about its ingredients, and shows you how to use it with realistic expectations.
About the Product
According to the product description and what is printed on the packaging:
- A face cream in a pump bottle, 50 ml
- Designed for skin in the pre-age stage (under 45)
- Presented as a daily essential for hydrated, radiant, youthful-looking skin
- The packaging states it helps with reducing the look of fine lines, supporting elasticity, and deep hydration
Key Ingredients and What We Know About Them
1. Marine Collagen
This is collagen derived from marine sources, added to creams to improve the feel and look of the skin. In the interest of scientific honesty, collagen molecules are large, so they are believed to work on the skin’s surface as a moisturizer rather than penetrating deep enough to replace the skin’s own collagen. The realistic benefit is skin that looks softer and plumper thanks to hydration, not “building collagen” inside the skin. Most studies that showed an effect on skin involved collagen taken by mouth, not creams.
2. Hyaluronic Acid
An ingredient known for its ability to attract and hold water, giving skin hydration and a plump, fresh look. It is one of the best moisturizing ingredients and one of the safest for most skin types. An 8-week randomized study on 91 participants evaluated a cream based on hyaluronic acid and another combining it with vitamin C, in the context of preventing signs of aging (study details).
3. Vitamin C
One of the most studied topical antioxidants, used to support skin radiance and protect against oxidative stress. This scientific review of topical vitamin C derivatives and their efficacy examines the available evidence.
4. Vitamin A
Linked to skin cell renewal and improved texture. However, its effect depends on the form and concentration used, and the concentration in cosmetic creams is usually milder than in pharmaceutical products.
5. Vitamin E
An antioxidant that supports skin hydration and protection, and works well alongside vitamin C.
What Should You Realistically Expect from the Cream?
- Skin that looks more hydrated and plump, which is the clearest result to expect
- Improved skin texture and radiance with regular use
- Less visible surface fine lines caused by dryness, since hydration temporarily softens their appearance
- It is not expected to remove deep wrinkles or rebuild collagen deep in the skin, and this applies to any cosmetic cream
How to Use It
Follow the usage instructions printed on the packaging. As general guidance for moisturizing creams:
- Cleanse your face and dry it well
- Apply a small amount (one or two pumps) and massage gently over the face and neck
- Use it morning and/or evening according to the packaging instructions
- In the morning, finish your routine with sunscreen, always
Precautions Before Use
- Patch test first: Apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours
- Fish allergy: Since the collagen is marine-sourced, check the ingredient list if you have an allergy to fish or seafood
- Vitamin A and the sun: It may make skin more sensitive to the sun, so sunscreen is essential
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using products containing vitamin A
- Stop using it if redness, itching, or irritation appears, and consult a doctor if it persists
- Avoid contact with the eyes
The Sun Matters More Than Any Cream
The strongest factor that speeds up skin aging is sun exposure. That’s why, in a sunny city like Hurghada, no collagen cream will give you good results unless it is accompanied by:
- Daily sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher
- Reapplying it every two hours during direct exposure
- Sunglasses and a hat during the hottest hours
- Drinking enough water
Tips for Younger-Looking Skin for Longer
- Sleep 7 to 8 hours a day
- Eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and protein
- Avoid smoking, as it is one of the strongest factors accelerating wrinkles
- Cleanse and moisturize your skin daily
- Ask your pharmacist before adding any new active product (such as retinol) to your routine

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a collagen cream replace the collagen lost in the skin?
Not directly, because its molecules are large. But it hydrates the skin and improves its feel and appearance, which makes fine lines less noticeable.
Is it suitable if I’m over 45?
The product is designed for skin before 45, but there’s no harm in trying it if you have no allergy. You may need more specialized products for mature skin, so ask your pharmacist.
When will results appear?
Hydration usually shows within days, while improvement in texture and radiance takes several weeks of regular use.
Is it suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?
It depends on the cream’s texture and your skin. Test it on a small area first, and consult your pharmacist if your skin is sensitive.
Can it be used with retinol or acids?
Combining several active ingredients may cause irritation. Ask your pharmacist before adding them to your routine.
