Anyone who has reached their thirties is likely to have tried numerous creams, serums, lotions and potions to try and reverse the signs of ageing. Collagen is found in the outer layer of skin and is the foundation of connective tissue which keeps the skin’s structure helping keep it firm, smooth and plump looking. As we get older our bodies produce less of it making the skin thinner which causes those pesky lines, sallowness and lack of lustre. Wassen claim to have found the answers to our prayers and have created We Beautify Collagen, a short drink to be taken once a day for 4 weeks. Wassen believe this product will help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promote younger looking skin and give a smoother and firmer appearance to the face.
We Beautify Collagen comes in 10 sachet pouches and it recommended you use for at last 4 weeks, preferably 8 weeks for longer term benefits. Each sachet contains 5g of Peptan hydrolysed collagen, 100mg of vitamin c, 15mg of vitamin e and 2mg manganese.
The sachets come in handy little tubes which make them ideal if you are travelling or taking them to work. There is no measuring from a jar either, really easy and simple. All you need to do is mix one into 50ml or more of water to create an orange drink. They taste similar to Berocca which I find pleasant so it isn’t too difficult to take one of these every day.
I only tried a 10 day trial of the We Beautify collagen so I don’t think I will have reaped the full reward but I didn’t see a huge difference. I only have fine lines and they didn’t change during my 10 day trial. I did notice my skin had a light glow after a couple of days and that remained until I stopped taking these sachets. This is definitely a good benefit especially in the winter months when my skin can go dull looking and pale.
My biggest bugbear with this supplement is that it contains sweeteners. As someone who is trying to eat clean I don’t want sweeteners in my body and this supplement contains sucralose, colours and anti-caking agents. There’s many studies out there that say these can be harmful to the body but then many studies to argue against this. I’d just rather it wasn’t in my supplements as a clean eater but then if you’re not, it won’t matter.
As with any supplements you can get the benefits from the health beneficial qualities of this supplement by eating the right things. You can find collagen boosters in fish, berries and dark green leafy vegetables. You can find manganese in green tea, in fact, 2 cups will give you more mg of manganese than this supplement does. That said, I appreciate it is easier said than done to get all these things into your hectic and busy lifestyle. If you don’t have time or need a quick kick start, give We Beautify collagen a go.
Wassen We Beautify collagen is available in packs of 10 sachets for £19.99 and can be bought online or in Boots where they regularly have it on the 3 for 2 offer. This makes it much more affordable and also gives you the chance to try it for the full time period to see the benefits.
