Edible Skincare

Skincare you take by mouth rather than apply. That usually means skin supplements and collagen drinks.

No. It's there to support your routine, and it can't do the job of a moisturiser or sunscreen.

Skin changes slowly, so expect to wait a few weeks at least. Each product has its own recommended length of use, so check the pack.

Supplements are usually capsules or powders, often with vitamins or omega-3. Collagen drinks come ready to sip. Which you choose often comes down to what you'll actually stick with. Our skin supplements page is the best place to start.

Some people do, but check the labels first so you're not doubling up on the same vitamin. If you're unsure, our skincare experts can help.

Speak to your GP or pharmacist before you start if you're pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication. The same goes if you have a medical condition or allergies.

Some are, some aren't. Collagen often comes from fish or cattle, so check the product page for dietary details.

Start with what you'd like to look after, then check the ingredients and how often you'd need to take it. Our free skin test can narrow it down.
