Review | Hao Yi Kang | Lao Xie Zhen Collagen Beauty Essence

It’s always good to start maintaining your youth before it’s too late and I’m really not getting any younger.. When it comes to looking beautiful and youthful, anti-aging skincare is not the only way out!

While facial products work on the surface of your skin, it’s also essential to work on the inner part of your body and boost collagen production for your skin. I know collagen hotpot might sound like a 2-in-1 solution to settle food cravings, but it’s sad to say that isn’t the way to go.

Since collagen naturally diminishes as we age, replenishing sufficient collagen into our body is important as it ensures that our skin remains firm and elastic. Before my skin starts to sag and wrinkle (and hopefully not too soon), I’m glad that I have found my solution for better health and skincare.

Lao Xie Zhen Collagen Beauty Essence

Awarded as the Editor’s Choice of Best Collagen Supplement by Daily Vanity in Singapore, Lao Xie Zhen is a pioneering collagen brand in the industry for over 90 years.

These bright pink sachets are packed with a powerhouse of Nano Collagen Peptide and 4 Superfood ingredients (Beetroot, Figs, Hawthorn, Acerola cherries), each with their own set of benefits for healthy-looking and radiant skin!

This is actually the first time I am trying beauty collagen products, and I’ve been always curious about how it would taste like. Taking supplements should be an enjoyable process, and honestly I wouldn’t want to dread each time I consume it. Surprisingly, the collagen beauty essence has a very pleasant and sweet berry taste, instead of a weird fishy aftertaste that some products may have.

This is due to their advanced extraction method that makes it 100% odourless and taste naturally sweet from the superfoods.

Guilt-free drinks are great because I don’t have to worry about the calories and potentially harmful effects! The ingredients are also 100% natural, and the advanced hydration method is used to fully extract the ingredients’ nutrients for maximum effectiveness.

Beetroot

Being a great source of fibre, it aids blood circulation, digestion and results in lower blood pressure.

Acerola Cherries

Known to be extremely rich in vitamin C, this exotic superfruit boosts collagen production, preserve collagen peptide and improve absorption of iron and metabolism rate. They are also effective in treating skin blemishes and improving skin elasticity.

Figs

Figs promotes digestive health, decreases risk of heart problems and maintains blood sugar level.

Hawthorn

Loaded with antioxidants, Hawthorn has an impressive range of health benefits and anti-inflammatory properties, such as improving blood circulation, and controlling high blood pressure and cholesterol.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is generally essential for the growth, development and repair of all body tissues, and is also commonly used as a supplement by people. Being a co-factor of collagen in the body, consuming Vitamin C regularly will aid in boosting collagen production too.
