About Metabolic Skincare

Metabolic Skincare makes Deep Structural Support, a daily skincare supplement built on one idea: skincare is an inside job.

The outer layer of skin, the epidermis, is a barrier. Its job is to keep things out, and that includes much of what goes on a bathroom shelf. Collagen in a cream is too large to get through it. The layer that gives skin its structure, the dermis, sits underneath, and the body supplies it from the inside. That rebuilding slows with age, the structure gives a little less support each year, and that is when wrinkles appear.

Most skincare works on the surface. Deep Structural Support is for the layer underneath: it gives the body the materials it uses to rebuild that structure on its own. One scoop a day, in a drink you already have.

30+

randomized, placebo-controlled trials have studied the key ingredients in Deep Structural Support, with clinically shown improvements in skin hydration and elasticity.

Sam Harper, founder

Every few months, skincare gets a new ingredient that promises what the last one promised. Sam Harper watched that cycle for years and noticed that a handful of reliable ingredients did most of the work in almost every routine. All of them work on the outside of the skin. Meanwhile, the layer of skin that holds its structure is supplied from the inside, and almost nobody was talking about it.

So he read the trials and built Deep Structural Support from what they showed. Sam built and sold his first company, Hippy Feet. His work as a founder has been covered by The New York Times, Forbes, and BuzzFeed. He is available for interviews and comment.

What the research says

Deep Structural Support was built from published research, not ingredient trends. Every number on this page traces to a peer-reviewed study, and the sources are listed below.

  1. The key ingredients in Deep Structural Support have been studied in 30+ randomized, placebo-controlled trials: 26 of oral collagen peptides and 7 of oral hyaluronic acid. 1, 2
  2. Across three independent meta-analyses, oral collagen peptides improved skin hydration and elasticity versus placebo. The largest pooled 1,721 participants. 1, 3, 4
  3. In a 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of hydrolyzed collagen plus vitamin C, the combination produced, versus placebo (all p < 0.01): 5
    • 44.6% decrease in collagen fragmentation
    • 19.6% reduction in wrinkle depth
    • 22.7% increase in skin elasticity
    • 13.8% increase in skin hydration
    The trial tested the ingredient combination, not Deep Structural Support itself. Individual results may vary.
  4. The authors of that trial identified vitamin C as “a key factor driving efficacy.” 5
  5. Vitamin C is the essential cofactor for collagen synthesis, and the body cannot make its own. 6
