I’m always on the hunt for products and treatments that will help keep my skin radiant, so when Vida Glow’s Pro Collagen+ landed on my desk, I was excited to give it a red hot go.
After all, the claim that it can reduce wrinkles by 42 percent in just 21 days is a bold one. Does it live up to the hype? I was so ready to find out.
Easy To Use And Drink
Pro Collagen+ immediately gets a huge tick from me, simply because it is so easy to incorporate into my morning routine. Each daily dose is neatly packaged in a convenient sachet that you simply open and pour into your drink of choice — tea, coffee, smoothie or water!
Plus, it’s flavourless so you don’t have to compromise your morning beverage in any way. I personally found it easiest to add to my English Breakfast Tea. It’s effortless and doesn’t change the texture or flavour of my cherished cuppa.
The Glow Up
I started to notice a difference in my skin after a week of drinking Pro Collagen+, and by day 10, I did see a noticeable glow returning to my sallow skin.
My skin also felt a lot better hydrated and the tightness that I’d been feeling throughout winter had eased up. My overall complexion felt and looked softer, smoother and dare I say, plumper? I hadn’t taken a weekend away, but I certainly looked like I had.
By the end of week two, I was seeing even more improvement, though I must also say that I teamed my new ritual with plenty of water, healthy eating and abstinence from alcohol.
So, while Pro Collagen+ played a huge part in my renewed glow, I do know that my holistic strategy made it a lot easier for the advanced marine collagen formula to do its thing — a little like how cleansing your skin before applying moisturiser delivers improved hydration.
Three Weeks To Radiance
By day 21 of my trial, I was genuinely impressed with Pro Collagen+’s performance! My skin looked revitalised and refreshed and the fine lines around my eyes and mouth appeared softer.
As for lines and wrinkles, I don’t know if I would go as far to say my wrinkles were reduced by almost half, but the big dose of moisture and nutrients I was giving my skin each morning did make the skin’s surface a lot smoother.
It’s worth noting that you do need to use this product for at least 21 days, as your skin cells turnover every 28 days. You need to give those new, healthier cells time to appear and then you’ll really see the benefits. Consistency of use, along with your daily skin routine and sunscreen, plus healthy eating and sensible lifestyle choices, will deliver the best, most luminous results.
The Science Behind The Glow
Vida Glow’s Pro Collagen+ is powered by an innovative hydrolysation process that creates the smallest marine collagen peptides available, tripeptides. At a very low molecular weight, they’re more readily available to the skin, which is what delivered that refreshed, revitalised glow so fast. The rest of the work comes from a lineup of top shelf ingredients that work in synergy with the marine collagen tripeptides to take results even deeper. I’m talking about a clinically-studied dose of hyaluronic acid to boost skin moisture, as well as digestive enzymes to optimise collagen digestion and help with rapid absorption.
I love how easy it is to add to my morning rituals, and that its flavourless formula doesn’t interrupt any part of my day. And of course, the payoff in terms of glowing, bouncy skin is unbeatable.
