I Was A Collagen Supplement Sceptic – This Brand Loved By Skin Doctors Changed My Mind

No foundation on the right, just a sweep of contour and a natural glow!Spare a thought for my poor wee skin – it’s had a rough year.First it had to deal with the ever changing weather here in Scotland (could it PLEASE just make up its mind?) and then I had my tonsils out a few months ago. Weeks of rotting in bed and being pumped full of various painkillers – all while being so ill that I was unable to maintain any form of skin care routine – absolutely destroyed my skin. I was blotchy, blemishy and the last time I’d seen that many zits on my face I was in my teens. Just what you want to deal with when you’re already miserable, right?When I got out the other side I promised myself that I’d help my skin as much as possible – and by chance I had been sent a few months supply of collagen supplements from Absolute Collagen.So alongside my trusty Augustinus Bader skin care routine, I started incorporating AC’s Marine Liquid Collagen Supplements into my diet.Now, I’ll preface this review with the fact that before I tried these out, I was a mega sceptic when it came to anything supplement-based (trust me, when you’re a shopping writer you see just how many are on the market).However, Absolute Collagen have plenty to boast about. The brand has conducted the largest and most robust clinical study of collagen supplement ever and their powerful little sachets contain the UK’s most concentrated daily collagen dose: 8000mg.Each 10ml sachet is also enriched with Vitamin C and 7.7g of protein to ensure that your body makes the most of every dose.The flavoured sachets (I opted for mango) promise to replenish, restore and firm up skin alongside smoothing wrinkles, improving evenness and boosting elasticity.The latest study carried out by Absolute Collagen’s chief scientist Dr David Reilly, published in the National Library of Medicine, proved that the supplement has shown clinical benefits for skin, scalp, and hair, when used either daily or every 48 hours, over a 12-week period – so I had nothing to be sceptical about, it turns out.So how did I get on? Well I think the pictures speak for themselves. My skin looks so much better, and I can hardly believe that I don’t have concealer or foundation on on the right picture (or a filter!). Aside from a sweep of contour my skin looks super glowy and my hair has also been feeling so much stronger (growing out a buzz cut is not for the weak LET ME TELL YOU).Keen to try it out for yourself? Absolute Collagen are giving you 20% off your first supplement order and first time subscriptions also receive a free gift worth £134 if you use our exclusive code: AC-AUGHP-20.You’ll just have to race me – and my glowing skin – to it.Related...I've Struggled With Staying Organised For Decades.
