Super Skin Set

Powder and liquid, a month between them

Fifteen sachets of Natural Marine Collagen Original, 3g of flavourless hydrolysed marine collagen for coffee or water, and fifteen of Liquid Collagen Skin Health, the ready-to-drink 5000mg mixed berry shot with liposomal vitamin C, B-Blend4 antioxidants and biotin. Thirty serves in total: the powder for home mornings, the liquid for the days there is no time to mix anything.

What collagen does, either way

Hydrolysed marine collagen peptides are absorbed through the gut and signal the skin's fibroblasts to make new collagen and hyaluronic acid. The liquid adds the vitamin C the body needs to build collagen at all, and biotin for hair and nails.

The value

Bought separately the two halves come to $110; the set is $80, and a month is long enough to see the first changes in skin texture.

Anyone starting collagen who wants both formats covered; busy routines that need a no-mix option some days; and a gift for someone who has been meaning to try it.

Worth knowing

Both contain fish: not for a fish or seafood allergy, and not vegetarian or vegan. Pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your practitioner before starting any supplement. One serve a day, powder or liquid, not both; results build over eight to twelve weeks.

One serve a day. Powder: stir a sachet into coffee, tea, water or a smoothie, hot or cold. Liquid: tear and drink straight from the sachet, kept cool and shaken first.

Alternate however suits the day; the same time each day is what matters.

Use alongside

Liquid Peptides Advanced MP and a retinoid on the skin for the topical half of collagen support, C E Ferulic and daily SPF to protect it. Pro Collagen+ is the step up when the month is done.
