Prescription Retinol or Over the Counter Retinol Products: Deciding Which is Right For You

· Leave a Comment

Which is better, over the counter Retinol products or prescription Retinol? It depends. Several factors go into this decision. We’ve tried many prescription and Retinol products at a variety of price points and report on the best features of each so you don’t have to live through Retinol trial and error. To determine the best Retinol product plan for your needs, ask yourself the questions below.

Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer contains a prescription strength 2.5% pure Retinol without a prescription or doctor's visit

RETINOL HAS A BACKSTORY

Retinol is an absolute game-changer for many skin conditions ranging from acne to sun damage, scarring, discoloration, as well as wrinkles. Retinol, which in prescription form goes by the name Retin-A, comes in cream and gel forms. In the way, way back, Retinol was only available by prescription for severe acne, and in its’ original form, it wasn’t a pretty process. People tolerated the peeling, itching, irritation, drying and redness for months, waiting for acne-free skin to emerge. And eventually, it did. Meanwhile, many people noticed scars, wrinkles and age spots also disappeared. People wanted Retinol for anti-aging, not just acne.

Now Retinol is readily available, so available that it’s difficult to know what to seek in a Retinol product. Key areas to examine are cost, the percentage of Retinol, ability to tolerate the product and its’ active ingredients, buffering capabilities and ease of use.

Consider the following when selecting a Retinol:

COST

Prescription Retinol brand name and generics are expensive, often $100-150 a tube. Insurance may cover this if you are under 35, but often only for the treatment of acne when prescribed by a dermatologist. If your insurance plan covers Retinol for free or the cost of a co-pay, this could be less expensive than purchasing an over the counter Retinol product.

Prescription Retinols can cost as much as luxury skincare products and often require powerful moisturizers to buffer its’ irritating effects.

HOW MUCH RETINOL IS IN THE PRODUCT?

When purchasing a retinol, a good place to start is 2.5% retinol within the product. More than that can be too irritating without much extra benefit, less than that won’t accomplish much. Many drugstore creams and lotions contain some retinol, but not as much as 2.5%. Some doctors only prescribe Retinol in very low doses, which won’t provide much of a beauty boost. Some prescriptions are too much at 5%, which can irritate all but the hardiest of skin. Prescriptions above the 2.5% range best serve those with severe acne, not those with wrinkles or photodamaged skin.

WHAT ARE THE OTHER ACTIVE INGREDIENTS & DO THEY HELP OR IRRITATE MY SKIN?

Retinol does a great deal for skin, but it can also give a pretty nasty accidentally self-imposed chemical peel, and the results are not pretty. It’s easy to give oneself an accidental Retinol chemical peel, because skin starts looking so good, that it is tempting to apply just a bit more. This works for a few days or weeks, until suddenly it doesn’t, and your face goes from looking dewy and younger to looking like a bad, bad, bad sunburn.

Even if you only use the prescribed amount of Retinol, skin becomes more sensitive to Retinol after about two weeks. The reason is now the old, dead skin layer is sloughed off, but the new skin is more delicate. Yet the same amount of Retinol is being applied to the skin, and that new skin isn’t ready to exfoliate yet. So instead, it becomes red and irritated. Some prescription Retinols come with a creamy base, such as Renova. This creamy base makes the skin surface seem flake-free and dewy, but underneath Retinol is still Retinol, and the skin can suddenly appear red and chapped.

BEST PRACTICES: HOW TO NOT BURN YOUR SKIN WITH RETINOL

The key to avoiding burning yourself with Retinols, prescription or over the counter, is buffering. To buffer either apply moisturizer first (if you’re very sensitive) or after applying Retinol, and don’t skimp. Buffering allows for the maximum frequency of Retinol use per week. If you still can’t tolerate the peeling and dry skin, apply Retinol for twenty minutes to an hour, then wash it off before bed. This way you at least get some Retinol benefits.

But ideally, your Retinol product comes with built-in buffering moisturizers. We like Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer because it is SO emollient without being greasy. In fact, it’s gentle enough to use twice a day every day without redness, irritation or dry, flaky peeling. You won’t have to take days off Retinol use due to over-doing it, but it still packs a powerful 2.5% Pure Retinol.

EASE OF USE

Even if your insurance covers Retinol, the added ingredients in Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer make it an all-in-one product: Retinol plus Vitamin C serum plus moisturizing buffer cream in one easy to apply bottle. No need to wait for the Retinol to dry down before applying moisturizer in the morning or being left sticky by a Vitamin C serum. A product that has everything in one makes skincare much easier.

One pump is all you need for face, neck and decolletage.

One pump of this 3-in-1 product is all you need to meet your Retinol, Vitamin C and moisturizing needs

PRODUCT PICK:  WHY WE LIKE LORDSBURY RETINOL+C CREAM MOISTURIZER

Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer combines the power of a prescription 2.5% pure Retinol with Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, and several natural moisturizing agents that make it gentle enough to use twice a day with no irritation, peeling or redness. The Aloe Vera, Jojoba, Green Tea and Shea Butter nourish the skin while buffering. It dries down without being sticky, greasy or leaving a film-like residue, make-up and sunscreen can go directly over the cream. Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer also comes at an outstanding price point in a generous 2.8-ounce pump bottle.

Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer contains prescription strength Retinol plus Vitamin C to combat KP, along with Jojoba, Vitamin C and Aloe Vera to soothe irritated skin

Time Travel Skincare: Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment

· Leave a Comment

The other day I came across a picture from late 2007 (back then we called them pictures, not selfies.) I didn’t like the picture at the time, so I’m surprised I didn’t delete it immediately. But now, I would give my left arm to have the supple, plump, glowing, collagen-rich skin I had in that picture.

Fortunately, I get to keep both of my arms thanks to Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit. This innovative kit targets the major signs of aging and leaves beautiful, youthful skin. It isn’t a radical treatment regime, it is just you, but better. Ten years ago better.

While you had me at the promise of taking ten years off my face in 30 days, I have to wonder how exactly that’s going to happen. Well, we tried the kit ourselves and I am pretty impressed both with the approach and the products.

Want to know what makes Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit special? Read on!

THE PANIC OF LOOKING OLDER THAN YOU WISH TO LOOK

A certain benchmark birthday prompted me to buy and use all the anti-aging things at once. This overkill plan backfired, too many products all at once were too rough on the skin. There are many effective, fantastic products to target very specific concerns, such as wrinkles and fine lines. But in all likelihood, after the fine lines are addressed, one won’t suddenly be mistaken for once again being a high school student.

Youthful skin is more than just the absence of these signs of age. And capturing this elusive reversal in skin time requires addressing what is actually making skin look, well, not young. And it isn’t just your crows feet. This is where Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit comes in.

Four Products for four targeted skin objectives

Four Products for four targeted skin objectives

WHY Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit WORKS

Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit is different than the way I thought of anti-aging skin care, but now that I have used it, I can see why other specific, targeted skin concern products couldn’t accomplish the overall appearance of youth. Despite all that I look at my face, I didn’t really understand what made me look older. I couldn’t see the forest for the trees, so to speak, and I focused only on the individual manifestations of age. That approach is shoveling against the tide, and at best leaves one looking not actually younger, but “good for their age”. I hate that phrase. Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit addresses both the source and the symptoms of aging skin.

This approach has an excellent success rate on targeted concerns including skin hydration, pigmented spot reduction, skin tone, skin firmness, texture, and a reduction in roughness, redness, enlarged pores, lines, and wrinkles.

WHEN AND HOW DID I STOP LOOKING YOUNG? AGING SKIN IS SNEAKY

When one thinks of aging, do you think wrinkles? Sagging? These are factors, but not entirely what makes us look older. Morganna’s Alchemy addresses the four chief factors of aging skin. The biggest factors are discoloration and roughness from sun damage, environmental pollutants causing dullness, and *THEN* crepey skin/sagging and wrinkles. The worst amongst them is sun damage and the resulting discoloration and rough skin patches. A whopping eighty percent of what ages the face. YIKES.

Want proof?

Have you seen Anthony Cerniello’s “Danielle”?  It’s an artists’ simulation of a female gradually becoming older over time, the real aging of the face occurs when the discoloration and dullness happens, not the gray hair or the wrinkles. You will notice she has some drooping, binasal folds, and undereye bags, even when her face was young. Notice the big change in tone and texture by middle age.

The discoloration makes the face seem harder and sterner, doesn’t it? And the dullness makes her look so tired. The skin tone, redness, and rough patches belie age more than the wrinkles.  If she used just a wrinkle cream, would she look much younger to you?

DISCOLORATION AND DULLNESS: HOW TO LOOK OLD ON PURPOSE

When makeup artists’ “age” a young actor for a movie role to make them look old, they emulate aging with applying discoloration into the contours of the face and obscure the natural vibrant look of young skin. Even wrinkles look older because of the discoloration in their valleys making them appear deeper and more prominent. So they “paint on” what sun damage and environmental factor do to skin over years of time.

So we need to stop THAT from happening ASAP. That is where Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit comes in.

HOW Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit WORKS

APPLICATION

The directions on the back of the box are simple to follow.

Apply Steps 1 and 2 in the morning before makeup, and Steps 3 and 4 in the evening before bed. The smell is natural but dissipates, my makeup went on smoothly over the products without being oily, tight or tacky. Both morning and night my skin feels and looks smooth and hydrated. I like how it makes my skin appear immediately – soft, dewy and supple.

Directions

THE FOUR PRODUCTS

STEP 1 Beauty Starts With Even Skin Tone

Morganna’s Alchemy Step 1 is to even the skin tone. The product is designed to protect the skin from sun radiation. This step alone makes a surprising difference. I hadn’t realized how much discoloration I got overtime on the top of my cheekbones and on the cheek area below the eyes, lots of little freckles and spots that made the overall contours of my face seem not like my own face. The collective impact of all those tiny discoloration spots was an overall darkening on what should be the lightest part of my face. It was as if I applied contour or bronzer where there should be a highlighter.

Sun damage causes spots, lack of firmness, and roughness. It does this with a gentle but effective natural ingredient: Lingonberry Stem Cells.

HOW DOES IT WORK? Lingonberry stem cells increase natural antioxidant mechanisms of skin cells and decrease skin irritation and inflammation, a fantastic combo when seeking to remove unwanted discoloration and get your natural skin tone back. Lingonberry is a “superfruit” rich in vitamins C and E, both excellent for repairing *AND PREVENTING* sun damage on the skin.

RESULTS: I find this product is far more gentle to the skin than other products geared towards discoloration. It does not sting or irritate my skin, even when used with other Morganna Alchemy products. My skin is not dry, itchy or peeling, but the discoloration looks much better. While I have been a sunscreen devotee since my twenties, one cannot fully escape the effects of sun damage and I am excited to see some discolored areas on my cheekbones fading.

Step 1 addresses the ravaging impact of sun damage, reversing old damage and helping to prevent new damage

Step 1 addresses the ravaging impact of sun damage, reversing old damage and helping to prevent new damage

STEP 2 Radiant Skin

You probably have seen gray-haired women with plenty of wrinkles and while you wouldn’t mistake them for 20, they still look younger than their years. How? Likely, their skin is vibrant, glowing and not dull. No amount of highlighter or dewy makeup trick and fake the vibrant glow of youthful skin.

Step 2 is designed to protect skin from environmental damage. It is applied once Step 1 dries down. It goes under makeup.

HOW IT WORKS: Environmental damage makes skin dull and sensitive, which leads to redness and inflammation, which in turn, makes one look older still. Fortunately, skin can recoup from environmental damage if given a chance.

RESULTS: Step 2 is a light gel that serves as a protective shield all day while it repairs and refines the skin, allowing it to get its’ glow back. I have always considered my skin sensitive, but now that I have had Step 2 as a protective barrier on my skin, I think it is more likely that my skin was aggravated by environmental irritants.

Step 2 provides a protective layer to the skin to shield it from environmental damage

Step 1 and Step 2 address issues you may or may not have realized are making skin older. Step 3 and 4 address target areas you may already be treating but may wish for better results than you have achieved to date.

STEP 3 Youthful

Young skin snaps right back, older skin takes a bit longer. When our skin lacks moisture and loses collagen it becomes deflated, resulting in a sluggish sort of crepiness and sagging.

While there are plenty of skin-friendly ingredients in Step 3, the star of the show is Platinum, which binds to the peptide ingredients and helps them penetrate into the deepest skin layers. It is this layer where sagging can be repaired by these peptides that boost collagen production. Any collagen you can get helps, but most topicals can’t reach this deep of a skin layer, so their results are superficially helpful but not so great for reducing sagging. The deeper active ingredients like peptides can get into the skin and make collagen, the better. Once you can get hydration and peptides deep enough into the skin to re-plump or re-inflate from the lost moisture and restore the collagen, it firms up quick, sagging skin becomes up to 40% firmer in one month.

RESULTS: Skin does quickly seem more hydrated and supple. I would not have thought of myself as having dehydrated skin but I can’t argue with how much more supple it looks now. Extra collagen production gets better and better over time, I am 14 days into my 30 days as of now, and I am excited about this Platinum plus peptides collagen producing combo!

Step 3

Step 3 promotes deep skin level collagen production to meaningfully reduce sagging

STEP 4 DefyAge

DefyAge tackles the issues you can likely see on your skin right now, enlarged pores, redness, fine lines.  It minimizes the appearance of all of the above using Elfe Flower and Red Rose Wine to thicken skin. These anti-oxidant powerhouses not only make the skin less subject to new wrinkles but reduce large pores and redness.

RESULTS: Redness around the nostrils, and eyes sneaks up on you, and does make one look older. The idea of thickening the skin is wonderful to not only help old wrinkles but to prevent new ones.

Step 4 promotes collagen production to meaningfully reduce sagging

Step 4 also promotes collagen production and helps skin combat fine lines

CONCLUSION

So that is our impression and overview of Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit. What a kit! This is an easy to use system, with all-star ingredients, combined into highly effective treatments for impressive results that restore a youthful glow, remove sun damage and give a healthier look to the skin. It is effective without irritating or drying the skin, my skin was soft during the entire process, not peeling, red or irritated. It addresses skincare needs that I didn’t even realize I was missing and the result is hydrated, soft skin that looks like my skin, but lovelier and younger.

Why GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C Serum is Special

· 5 Comments

Vitamin C is key to collagen production. Collagen is vital to keep skin healthy, resilient, and young. Vitamin C also reverses sun damage, fades discoloration and prevents acne. But many Vitamin C serums can be harsh on the skin due to fillers, color dyes, fragrances or additives.

GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C Serum contains 20% Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Hyaluronic Acid, Ferulic Acid, Jojoba Oil, and Citrus Stem Cells. It has no fillers or additives. The result is better skin without the irritation.

GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C Serum contains 20% VItamin C, Ferulic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, and CItrus Stem Cells

GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C Serum contains 20% VItamin C, Ferulic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, and CItrus Stem Cells with no fillers or additives

Why Gloriskin Organic Vitamin C Serum is Special

There are two big features that make GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C Serum stand out from other Vitamin C serums.

  1. There’s absolutely no sticky or oily residue after application
  2. It has an exceptional ingredient list, especially for the price point.

Just a few drops are enough for your entire face

NO RESIDUE: I MEAN NONE. NADA. ZIP.

GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C serum has zero residue and it goes on smooth under makeup, sunscreen, and moisturizer. It doesn’t feel tight, dry, tacky, sticky, oily or greasy. It feels like my skin.

MY EXPERIENCE Testing GLORISKIN ORGANIC VITAMIN C SERUM

The wearability of this makes this a go-to Vitamin C serum product. Skin doesn’t feel tight or dry after use at all. In the past, I’ve often skipped daytime Vitamin C because I don’t want Vitamin C serum residue or oil interfering with my makeup. I don’t have to make a choice between makeup or Vitamin C with GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C Serum, which I love.

It is a liquid texture, not quite as thin as water but not as thick as juice. It is not gummy. There is no detectable or strong fragrance.

HOW TO USE: I spread a few drops in a thin layer over damp skin, paying special attention to the nasal labial folds, eleven lines, and areas with sun damage or enlarged pores. I find it gentle enough to use on the throat, decolletage, eye area and around the mouth.

Only a few drops are needed

Soothing Jojoba and Vitamin E make it gentle enough to use twice a day with no irritation, even on crow’s feet.

ALL-STAR INGREDIENTS LIST

GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C Serum contains many effective ingredients. Add to this that it’s organic and it makes for a real winner. You will recognize some of these ingredients from products that are two to three times the price.

GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C Serum contains all natural, effective ingredients

The main ingredient is 20% Vitamin C, which provides the skin the building blocks to rebuild collagen. Collagen keeps the skin firm, meaning fewer wrinkles and sagging. Even enlarged pores can result from loss of collagen. Vitamin C also fades discoloration and discourages adult acne. But as great as Vitamin C is, it needs the right supporting ingredients to work wonders.

Contains Ferulic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Jojoba, Vitamin E and Citrus Stem Cells

A closer look at some of the ingredients this impressive line up includes:

  • Ferulic Acid is an antioxidant that when paired with Vitamin C does more than the sum of their parts. Ferulic Acid helps reduce sun damage. A 2008 study in The Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found Vitamin C with Ferulic Acid reverses existing sun damage and can actually prevent future UV sun damage.
  • MSM is one of my favorite skin care ingredients because it brightens the skin while moisturizing. MSM is excellent with Vitamin C because enhances the production of “collagen bundles” that prevent skin sagging.
  • Hyaluronic Acid holds so much moisture that it instantly plumps my fine lines. Hyaluronic Acid also helps active ingredients sink deeper into the skin.
  • Citrus Stem Cells protect skin from oxidative stress and help reverse skin damage.

Citrus Stem Cells reverse oxidative skin damage naturally

The moisturizing agents in this serum also feed and heal the skin.

  • Aloe Vera contains nutrients to keep the skin healthy, hydrated and nourished.
  • Jojoba is soothing to the skin, having the dual ability to soften wrinkles and ease acne.
  • Vitamin E makes rough, sunburned, scarred or otherwise damaged skin soft and pliable. Once the skin is pliable, other treating ingredients can work their magic.
Hydrating and nourishing Aloe Vera helps skin tolerate the treating ingredients in GloriSkin

THE RESULTS

I’ve been able to use GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C Serum twice a day and within a few days, it made a big reduction in my acne. My skin also appears brighter. Hyaluronic Acid provides immediate plumping to fine lines and hydration. My skin feels soft with no irritation.

Sagging and age spots take a bit longer to repair. Visible evidence of increased collagen production takes a few months to appear. This is when the wrinkles, sagging, and age spots measurably improve.

Because GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C Serum is so easy to wear under makeup or at night without any irritation, I am confident that I can use it long enough to see meaningful results!

GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C Serum provides a residue-free, non-irritating, wearable serum. Plus it has excellent, natural ingredients that make the most of daily Vitamin C use!

Physician’s Choice Collagen What to Know

· 2 Comments

Want to grow lush, thick hair and stronger nails? Or to have younger, plumper, more vibrant skin? Topical treatments temporarily improve hair, skin, and nail appearance. But real improvement comes at the source, treating from within. Collagen is the foundational structure of hair protein, and the “glue” of the key components of skin, nails, and bones. Our bodies make less collagen after age thirty, so to maintain ourselves, collagen must be supplemented. An easy way to meet collagen replacement needs is Physician’s Choice Collagen Protein Powder, a tasteless powder that completely dissolves into coffee, tea, water, and smoothies.

Read about what makes Physician’s Choice Collagen Peptides Powder ideal for your beauty goals. Plus check out how we use Physician’s Choice Collagen Peptides Powder in our Style Chicks beauty smoothie recipes below for glowing skin!

BEAUTY GOALS & COLLAGEN

Got beauty goals? Improving your eating habits? Growing your hair longer? Starting a new exercise routine? Congratulations! Collagen makes the most of each of these goals.

Collagen is natural and food-derived, found in select animal, plant, and fish based food sources. However, most of us do not get enough collagen from our diet alone to make meaningful hair and skin improvement. You can make the most of your beauty and health efforts with a reputable collagen protein supplement.

WHY COLLAGEN IS VITAL FOR SKIN, HAIR, NAILS & BONES

Collagen is necessary for cell renewal, namely the strength and elasticity of the skin, hair, nails, bones, joints, tendons, organs, and our eyes.

COLLAGEN FOR SKIN
Collagen acts like the mortar in a brick wall, you don’t notice it until something starts to break apart or sag. Collagen supports our skin, healing scars, keeping it supple, even, youthful and wrinkle-free. When collagen is lost faster than it is replaced, it makes gaps in our skin’s “mortar”, which leads to sagging, the appearance of enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, slower skin healing, and wrinkles.

By age 40, our bodies produce 25% less collagen, resulting in increased lines, wrinkles, sagging and a change in texture

By age 40, our bodies produce 25% less collagen, resulting in increased lines, wrinkles, sagging and a change in skin texture

COLLAGEN FOR HAIR
Collagen makes hair thicker, fuller, longer and stronger by promoting the regeneration of dormant hair follicles, thereby reducing future hair loss and increasing hair re-growth.

Secondly, collagen keeps the hair shaft strong, reducing hair breakage that leads to volume loss. When hair strands after adequate collagen, it increases the hair shaft diameter, creating volume.

COLLAGEN FOR JOINTS AND BONES
Collagen keeps your joints and tendons flexible and strong enough to cushion your bones. Collagen supports growth and repair of cartilage tissue.

WHY PHYSICIAN’S CHOICE Collagen Peptides Powder IS A SUPERIOR COLLAGEN SUPPLEMENT CHOICE

Supplemental Collagen quality and absorption rates vary widely. Collagen comes in three types. You can be consuming ample collagen, but if it is not the right type, it won’t absorb into your body well enough to see any meaningful improvements.

THE RIGHT COLLAGEN TYPE FOR THE JOB
Physician’s Choice Collagen Peptides Powder contains Collagen Types I and III. Why is this important? These two collagen types comprise 90% of the bodies collagen and contain the amino acids that put collagen into action. Types I and III are the “pretty collagens” responsible for areas like the delicate skin around your eyes and throat, and the appearance of plumped, not wrinkled or sagging skin, on your cheeks and jowls.

Type II Collagen is related to cartilage fluid and that type of supplement will help achy joints but won’t improve skin, hair, or nails.

WHAT EXACTLY IS HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN?
Hydrolyzed collagen is similar in structure and appearance to gelatin powder, but unlike gelatin, it doesn’t thicken or alter the texture or state of the liquid it is mixed with. You have likely used cosmetics, creams, and lotions that contain hydrolyzed collagen.

Physician's Choice Collagen Peptide Powder is a hydrolyzed collagen.

Physician’s Choice Collagen Peptide Powder is a hydrolyzed collagen. One scoop equals one serving.

WHY CHOOSE A HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN POWDER
A particularly important factor in Physician’s Choice Collagen Peptides Powder is that it uses hydrolyzed collagen, which clinical studies show has a superior absorption rate of five times higher than typical collagen intake amongst the food-derived collagen peptides. Hydrolyzed collagen peptides are well documented in peer-reviewed medical journals for having a much higher blood level absorption rate as well as studies showing especially superior results in skin repair, muscle, and joint support.

Additionally, Physician’s Choice Collagen Peptides Powder contains DigeSEB, which are digestive enzymes to further enhance the absorption rate, as well as the 19 specific amino acids that needed to tell the collagen to build and repair the hair, skin, nails, and bones. There is also lipase, an enzyme that helps the body break down and digest efficiently.

Physician’s Choice Collagen Peptides Powder gives a superior collagen supplement experience by enabling the beauty-beneficial collagen types to optimally absorb for maximum results. Plus, it contains the exact 19 amino acids required to jumpstart collagen into making the skin, hair and nail supporting enhancements you want.

Additional key factors that set Physician’s Choice Collagen Powder apart from other collagen supplements include:

  • EASY TO SWALLOW: Many collagen supplements are hard and the size of a horse pill. A powder mix is easy to swallow.
  • SAFELY SOURCED: Contains only pharmaceutical grade bovine collagen from grass-fed, pasture range cows that are hormone and antibiotic free.
  • Made with Professional Grade, NON-GMO Ingredients
  • Third Party Tested
  • PALEO & KETO friendly
  • WHAT IT DOESN’T CONTAIN: There are no Binders, Soy, Gluten, Egg, Wheat, GMOs, Peanuts, Shellfish, Color Additives, Binders or Preservatives.
  • Only twenty-five calories a serving
  • FLAVORLESS AND MIXES WITH ANYTHING: It has absolutely no flavor and does not thicken or add texture or grit to a beverage. It can be undetectably used in water, ice tea, coffee, tea, smoothies and other recipes.
Flavorless powder does not alter the taste of any other flavorful ingredient including spicy, sweet, tangy or tart flavors.

Physician’s Choice Collagen Peptide Powder is unflavored and does not alter or disrupt the taste of any other ingredient in your recipes including spicy, sweet, tangy or tart flavors.

That being said, let’s try it out!

PUTTING PHYSICIAN’S CHOICE COLLAGEN PEPTIDES POWDER TO THE TEST

Just add one scoop to the beverage of your choice

EXPERIENCE
Use the included scoop for one level serving and add it to the beverage of your choice and stir. I tried it in cold and hot water, hot coffee, hot tea, and smoothies and it always dissolved. I expected it to change the texture of the beverage, to thicken it or be gummy, gritty or lumpy, or but it wasn’t. There is absolutely no taste and it mixes in cleanly with no color, cloudiness or film. It is not even detectable in plain tap water. It can also be added to a recipe instead of just a beverage if you prefer.

Sealed container with 30 servings and measuring scoop

RESULTS

Sustained collagen levels in your system rebuild the skin, grows longer and stronger hair and nails. Many factors impact skin and hair rejuvenation. Results will not be overnight, but within a month or two, collagen begins to visibly soften wrinkles, decrease photoaging, plump sagging, and restore a glow to the skin on the face, throat, decolletage, and the body.

Sustained collagen levels begin visibly restoring skin within a few months time
