What Is Skinade Collagen?
Skinade has been developed by leading UK scientists and is designed to provide a perfect ratio of liquid to functional ingredients to create one of the most advanced, effective and bio-available anti-ageing skincare products on the market today. Skinade is an alternative approach to your skincare regime – a drink that promotes better-looking skin from the inside out.
What Does Skinade Do?
Skinade delivers essential micronutrients in liquid form and aims to rebuild the collagen matrix in your skin. Skinade aims to combat the signs of aging by reducing oxidative stress, preventing cross-linking of collagen fibers, increasing moisture and hydration, and increasing natural hyaluronic acid production within the dermal layer of the skin. As a result, skinade aims to restore your skin’s youthful appearance, improve tone, texture, hydration, smooth furrow lines and promote better skin suppleness.
How Does It Work?
Skinade is a drink that works from the inside out. Its six functional ingredients work synergistically to promote optimal skin function. As a liquid supplement, its innovative formulation is highly bio-available, meaning that the body can absorb and make use of a higher proportion of the functional nutrients. Skinade’s functional ingredients are 100% in solution allowing for an absorption rate of 95%.
The class-leading, 2kDal patented hydrolysed marine collagen peptides used in skinade trigger fibroblast proliferation (firing up our natural collagen production) leading to increased skin thickness and therefore a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. The hydrolysed marine collagen peptides also trigger the HAS2 receptors in the dermis which promotes the production of hyaluronic acid resulting in improved skin hydration.
This dual action makes skinade a highly effective skincare product.
Mechanism Of Action
Our patent-pending formula utilises high-grade collagen and essential micronutrients to help your body rebuild and strengthen the collagen matrix.
The Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen Peptides in skinade have a low molecular weight. The collagen fibres formed, strengthen the collagen matrix in the dermis. Collagen improves skin elasticity by increasing the density of fibroblasts (the cells responsible for rebuilding connective tissue) and improves skin hydration and reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
Drinking skinade also stimulates the body’s own natural collagen production. When the body senses collagen in the blood stream, it stimulates the proliferation of fibroblasts reinforcing the collagen matrix.
This dual action makes skinade a highly effective skincare solution. Consumed on a daily basis, skinade aims to return your body to a younger state of collagen production, resulting in a visibly more youthful appearance.
The Collagen In Skinade
In the nutricosmetics industry, collagen peptides from marine sources are growing in popularity due to their high quality and efficacy. However, in order to be beneficial to the skin, collagen peptides must be bio-available, they need to be easily and quickly absorbed by the body.
Skinade contains pure Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen Peptides sourced from the skin of fresh-water fish, which are low in sodium and eliminate the potential for mercury contamination. Our peptides are extracted using a gentle enzymatic hydrolysis process to achieve the lowest possible molecular weight (2 kDal). The lower the molecular weight, the easier it is for the body to absorb the collagen.
Why Not A Tablet/Powder?
To consume the same level of essential nutrients and collagen peptides you would have to take at least 20 large tablets. Collagen tablets are more difficult to ingest and assimilate into the body and are only partially absorbed.
The collagen and essential ingredients in skinade are in liquid formulation and 90% to 95% are absorbed by the body, while tablets offer an absorption rate of only 30% to 40%.
The liquid formula in skinade offers a huge advantage in terms of absorption rates. Skinade functions sublingually and isotonically ensuring that our collagen peptides and essential micro-nutrients achieve an absorption rate of 90-95% – A level that can never be matched by tablets, or powders suspended in solution.
Side Effects
You may experience a mild laxative detoxifying effect for one or two days when you start drinking the formula. A very small percentage of people taking Vitamin B3 (Niacin) may experience a short-term red flush and/or tingling sensation in the skin that can last around 20 to 60 minutes. This is known as a “Niacin Flush” and is not an allergic reaction. Niacin dilates the small capillaries in the skin increasing blood flow and thus delivering nutrients to areas of poor circulation. Taking Skinade after food minimises the effect, or you can sip the bottle over the course of the day.
How to use Skinade?
- Consume 1 bottle or package per day.
- Skinade is shelf stable and does not need to be stored in the fridge, but it tastes even better chilled.
- Skinade comes in two versions: a ready-mixed 150ml bottle and 15ml travel sachet. Both products have exactly the same efficacy.
- Skinade is manufactured and bottled in the UK
How is Skinade packaged for use?
Skinade regular comes in a ready-to-drink 150ml bottle. Each bottle provides a perfect ratio of liquid to active ingredients to create one of the most advanced anti-ageing skincare products available. Just open and drink!
Skinade travel is a 15ml liquid concentrate. Each sachet contains exactly the same level of essential nutrients as your Skinade regular. It’s travel sized, so you can take it with you anywhere you go! Just stir in the contents of the sachet into half a glass of cold water and drink.
