It’s no secret that our skin loses elasticity as we age. After the age of 30, the collagen in our skin drops by 1% each year, which equals more visible lines, loss of firmness, and hydration over time.
While there are plenty of, let’s face it, questionable products and treatments claiming to be ‘quick fixes’ for signs of ageing and wrinkles, research shows that taking collagen over time can improve the appearance of skin.
In fact, the biggest study into collagen to date was conducted earlier this year by Anglia Ruskin University, which found that, although taking collagen couldn’t eliminate wrinkles, it could make your skin look more firm and moist, and prevent the appearance of ageing.
Like most supplements, not all collagen is created equal, but Absolute Collagen has conducted independent research where 100% of users saw an improvement in fine lines and wrinkles and overall skin evenness in just 12 weeks.
Backed by celebs such as Emma Willis, Leon Towers Leon, and Melissa Tattum, Absolute Collagen’s supplements come in either liquid or powder form.
The gels can be squirted into your mouth straight out of the packet, and come in three flavours: mango and pineapple, raspberry, or tangy lemon, while the powder doesn’t taste like anything, and can be easily dissolved in water and ready to drink in seconds.
Unlike some collagen supplements, Absolute Collagen has done the work of making sure that each serving delivers the perfect dose of collagen, which its clinical trial found was 8,000mg.
Both the gels and powders are also mixed with vitamin C, which is essential for collagen absorption, and in a peptide format that your body can actually digest.
Plus, research suggests that to see real results, it’s important to take collagen supplements consistently over time, so Absolute Collagen offers 20% off recurring orders when you buy its collagen on subscription.
That means it can cost as little as £1.25 to improve the appearance of your skin over time. When you think that that’s basically a third of the price of your morning coffee, it’s totally worth it, in our books.
