3 Reasons Rapid Weight Loss Can Change Your Skin—And How to Support It From Within

01 / 03THE RAPID WEIGHT-LOSS EFFECT

Losing Weight Can Mean Losing Facial Volume, Too

When you lose weight quickly, you can lose the facial fat that gives your skin its plump, supported appearance. Without that underlying volume, skin can appear looser, more hollow and more wrinkled—the visible changes commonly called “Ozempic face.”¹

Carrara helps support skin as your body changes with full-spectrum Type I + II marine collagen, precision-dose biotin and micronized pearl powder. After 90 days, 80% reported plumper skin and 83% reported smoother skin.²

02 / 03THE AGE FACTOR

Your Skin Has Less Collagen to Work With as You Age

Research identifies age as a risk factor for more pronounced skin changes with GLP-1 weight loss.³ As collagen declines starting in your early 20s, skin has less structural support to adapt to the rapid facial volume changes that can come with weight loss.

Carrara delivers clinically studied marine collagen peptides to support collagen production from within—with VISIA® facial analysis showing skin that looked 3.7 years younger after just 8 weeks.⁴

03 / 03THE PROTEIN PRIORITY

Eating Less Makes Protein More Important

GLP-1s work in part by reducing appetite—which can also mean eating less protein. But protein provides the amino acids your body relies on to maintain tissues throughout the body, making adequate intake especially important during significant weight loss.⁵

Carrara provides 8.5g of hydrolyzed Type I marine collagen peptides in every serving, delivering highly bioavailable collagen protein to support healthy skin structure and elasticity.

Inside the Formula

Rare Type II Marine Collagen + Proteoglycan Complex

What it is:

Type I collagen is the body's most abundant collagen, providing the structural framework for healthy skin, hair, nails, bones and connective tissue.

Why we use it:

We selected clinically studied Japanese Type I marine collagen because human double-blind, placebo-controlled trials showed smoother skin and fewer wrinkles in 4–8 weeks, with skin appearing about 3.7 years younger.¹⁻² Separate clinical research observed reduced immune cell age via T-lymphocyte profiling.³⁻⁴

Where we source it:

Sourced from the skin and scales of wild-caught Japanese fish. Our collagen is produced by Japanese pioneers whose decades of research helped establish the modern marine collagen category.

What it is:

Type II collagen is the primary collagen found in cartilage. Naturally paired with proteoglycans, these structural compounds help support connective tissue while contributing to skin strength and resilience.

Why we use it:

We selected this rare Japanese Type II marine collagen to support the body's structural foundation. Human studies showed firmer, smoother skin in as little as 2 weeks⁵ as well as improved joint comfort and mobility.⁶

Where we source it:

Sourced from the prized nasal cartilage of wild Hokkaido salmon and produced in GMP-certified facilities in Japan. Naturally contains 40% undenatured Type II collagen and 40% undenatured proteoglycans.

What it is:

Biotin is an essential B vitamin that helps the body produce keratin—the structural protein that gives hair and nails their strength and resilience.

Dose: 100mcg

Why we use it:

We selected precision-dose biotin to complement Carrara's collagen matrix by supporting the body's natural keratin production for stronger nails and shiny, more voluminous hair.

What it is:

Pearl powder is a natural source of calcium compounds, amino acids and trace minerals.

Dose: 250mg

Why we use it:

We selected micronized pearl powder to complement Carrara's collagen matrix with a centuries-old Chinese beauty ritual for luminous skin and emotional balance.

Questions?

We have answers!

What's the nutritional profile per serving?

0g sugar, 1.5g carbs and 8.5g of marine collagen protein. No sweeteners.

What types of collagen are in Carrara, and why only two?

Carrara contains two clinically studied forms of marine collagen: 8.5g of Type I (from wild-caught Japanese fish skin and scales) and 25mg of rare undenatured Type II (from the nasal cartilage of wild Hokkaido salmon). It’s the first formula to combine both in a single product.

We formulated for precision, not quantity. Type I supports visible skin radiance and systemic vitality. Type II reinforces the dermal architecture and connective tissue that underpin both skin firmness and joint mobility. More types doesn’t mean better results. Clinical precision does.

What makes the nasal cartilage collagen special?

The Type II collagen in Carrara comes from the nasal cartilage of wild Hokkaido salmon—one of the rarest sources of undenatured Type II collagen available. Unlike conventional hydrolyzed collagens, this intact form retains its natural complex with proteoglycans, preserving biological active sites that interact with connective tissue and immune pathways in a fundamentally different way. Clinical studies on this specific source showed improvements in skin elasticity, firmness, wrinkles and pores in as little as 2 weeks, as well as greater joint comfort within 4–6 weeks.

Where is Carrara sourced from?

From the pristine waters of Hokkaido, Japan—where cold currents from the North Pacific and Sea of Okhotsk keep the water clean and nutrient-rich. We work with marine collagen artisans who pioneered the category itself, and have spent decades refining collagen sourcing and extraction technology.

Is this ethically sourced?

Carrara is made from wild-caught Japanese fish, using parts—skin, scales and nasal cartilage—that are traditionally prized in Japanese and Cantonese nourishment rituals. This reflects a whole-fish utilization philosophy with deep cultural respect for the source.

Is Carrara certified organic?

Not as a whole product. The marine collagen is wild-caught (not farmed), so it doesn’t carry an organic designation. However, Carrara does contain organic coconut milk powder and organic Madagascar vanilla.

What are the ingredients?

Marine Type I Collagen (Wild Fish), Organic Coconut Milk Powder, Pearl Powder, Organic Madagascar Vanilla, Marine Type II Collagen (Wild Salmon Nasal Cartilage), Biotin.

Allergens: Fish, Coconut. Not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.

What does it taste like?

Naturally creamy, soft and smooth—with gentle coconut richness, the quiet warmth of organic Madagascar vanilla and a clean finish from micronized pearl powder. No fishy taste whatsoever. It enhances without overpowering.

How do I use it?

One serving is 2 rounded Carrara scoops (13.8g). Add to tea, coffee, a smoothie or any beverage of your choice and mix well. Works in both hot and cold, but warm water gives the best texture. For lattes, the Pique Alchemist Beaker with a frother creates a beautifully silky finish.

How soon will I see results?

Results vary by benefit. Based on clinical studies on Carrara’s specific collagen sources:

Skin elasticity and firmness: as early as 2 weeks
Skin texture, wrinkles, and tone: emerging at 4 weeks, statistically significant at 8 weeks
Joint comfort and mobility: within 4–6 weeks
Immune vitality markers: after 8 weeks of consistent daily use

Consistency is everything—Carrara is designed to work as a daily ritual.

Can I take this alongside another collagen supplement?

Generally yes—collagen is a protein and is considered safe to take from multiple sources. That said, most research suggests an effective range of 2.5–15g daily depending on your goals, so if you’re already near that range, adding more may not provide additional benefit. As always, check with your healthcare provider if you have specific health goals or conditions.

Is Carrara safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition or take medications, please consult your healthcare practitioner before use.

Can you share the studies behind the two types of collagen?

Yes. Carrara is formulated using ingredients that have been evaluated in peer-reviewed human clinical studies, including randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials. Below is a selection of published research supporting the efficacy of the Type I and Type II collagens used in our formulation:

Is the collagen hydrolyzed?

Yes! The Type I collagen in Carrara is hydrolyzed.

Is Carrara fasting-friendly?

Carrara contains 70 calories per serving, so this is not considered a fasting-friendly product.
