Ladies, have you tried collagen supplements and retinol skin products?

Considering starting to use them as based on my own research, your 20’s is when you should start, and im starting to get signs of aging (which is normal, I know). Are these products actually worth using or is it just a hoax? Did you notice any difference after using collagen & retinol?

i use collagen pills & collagen powder (to mix with drinks). from the research i've seen they dont do that much at all unless you take a higher quantity or take collagen supplements with specific ingredients in them. you can google what they are. i also use retinol serum & retinol eyecream. retinol is one of the few anti aging skincare treatments that are backed up by science. so definitely use that.

personally i can't really say if they've done a difference because i'm not dilligent enough to use them everyday 😅 but also i dont really have many signs of aging yet either

If you do all this stuff to yourself in your 20s, what will you do in your 40s? Don't listen to all the online "noise" about this junk. A lot of it is generated by folks who have a vested interest in convincing others to use products. (Most products don't work.)

It seems to be a case of if you start using these products in your 20’s, it lessens how badly your skin will age as you get older. But as you say, products like these can just be an echo chamber of people convincing others to use them, even when said products don’t even work.

Just keep a clean and simple diet and exercise regularly. There's no other secret potions or powders or injections that will turn back or slow down the clock.

Oh, collagen supplements and retinol can definitely be game-changers! Collagen helps maintain skin elasticity, and some people find it improves their skin's appearance over time. Retinol is renowned for boosting cell turnover and targeting signs of aging. Many notice smoother, more radiant skin with regular use. It's important to be consistent and pair them with good moisturizing habits. A little sunscreen love during the day is also crucial since retinol can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. 😊 Just remember, results can vary, so it might be worth trying to see how your skin responds.

You don’t need that in your 20s.. literally, get your heart pumping and sweat a little over cardio, AVOID tanning beds, wear sunblock on your face.. stay hydrated, drink lots of water, eat a healthy clean diet and get enough sleep..

I’m not going to reveal my age but I’m aging gracefully because of this routine!

I am health and beauty lead at my job and I can tell you every vitamin and supplement is exactly the same, will do the exact same thing, do it the exact same way, and will do nothing at all.

[leahzrc]

And I take none of it.
