A new era of beauty - oral collagen and hyaluron

Driu Beauty today discusses skin supplements - oral collagen and hyaluronic acid. The main question is - are oral vitamins really good for the skin? The beauty industry that never sleeps has once again a niche that can bring in a lot of profit – the further, the more popular oral supplements for the skin are becoming. Their manufacturers, based on their research, declare that the results exceed expectations – using their products restores skin moisture, activates collagen production, tightens the skin and reduces wrinkles. Is it really so? Is it really worth investing in these fairly expensive supplements, hoping to regain youth? As always, based on science and simple logic, I will present you with all the pros and cons, and I will leave the decision to buy or not to make to yourself.

Skin supplements

Briefly about the supplements themselves. Most often, collagen or hyaluronic acid, or both of these substances together, play the main role in their composition. In addition to them, you will find quite a few vitamins, extracts and other active ingredients that are beneficial for our skin. Manufacturers recommend using these supplements several times a year. Prices range from 20 to 70-80 Euros, but don't be fooled - in this case, a lower price usually means smaller amounts of hyaluronic acid and collagen and other active ingredients.

What do the studies say?

Unfortunately, there are very few studies currently conducted - most of them are clinical studies by supplement manufacturers, but I do not recommend relying on them. There are practically no objective scientific studies, especially with oral collagen. The effects of oral hyaluron have been studied more, and its benefits for joints are undeniable. There are also studies that cautiously state that skin condition does improve when taking supplements with hyaluronic acid, but it is still not clear how much hyaluronic acid should be in the composition and what form of it works best for the skin - there are still many questions that need to be answered.

What supplements are best?

What should you remember? That a healthy lifestyle, diet, and sleep patterns help keep your skin looking young for longer. That proper sun protection is one of the most effective ways to slow down the aging process. That regular and gentle skin care also has a significant impact on skin condition and wrinkle formation. That oral vitamins A and C stimulate collagen production and improve skin condition, and there is plenty of research to prove this. That vitamin E, omega acids, selenium, zinc, and antioxidants can also help fight skin problems and improve its condition. Let's not forget that there are many proven ways to nourish your skin and maintain its health. Is it worth drinking products with collagen and hyaluronic acid? So, dear ones, decide for yourself. I really don't think that using the famous skin supplements with collagen or hyaluronic acid could harm your body or skin. It is very possible that at that time you will feel that they are still working, but if you stop using them, the effect will disappear very quickly. It is also possible that other substances in the composition, such as vitamins, will have a positive effect on your skin. The choice is yours, but if you have already decided to try products with collagen and hyaluronic acid, I would recommend choosing those that are rich in active substances, minerals and vitamins, and these will definitely have an effect.
