ivi Collagen Premium Drink Review

ivi collagen premium drink review

This ivi Collagen Premium Drink review will surely not be the last beauty supplement I will be featuring on this blog. You see, I don’t drink any vitamins in a capsule or tablet form. I can’t swallow them. Trust me, I tried, but I really rather get injected than swallow them. That’s what doctors actually do when I’m sick, they just inject my medicine. So you’re probably wondering now where do I get my vitamins? Well, I get it the way our ancestors used to get it, it’s something called eating. I always have meat and vegetables on my plate with a rice side dish (I’m Asian FYI). While for dessert, I have fruits. And before you say there’s chewable vitamin C… my doctor already said I don’t need it.

But I won’t be a hypocrite here, my diet is not perfect. Sometimes I just solely eat meat or I spent the whole day like a vegan, and there are also days when I just settle for ramen more often they’re the instant cup type because I’m lazy and I don’t like cooking. So I can’t really get all the nutrients and vitamins I need from just eating especially that my body is getting more mature. That is why my mother has been nagging me for a while now to find a “supplement” that will keep me healthy and skin looks good “from within” like what those beauty commercials say. Since all my skincare “shenanigans” all target the outside, she says I don’t do anything from the inside. Thus, I’ve been on a hunt for supplements that I can actually drink, either in powder or liquid form. And then I found this! But does it really work? Scroll down to read my ivi Collagen Premium Drink review.

VERDICT
MY THOUGHTS
When I drink ivi Collagen Premium Drink at night, I wake up with my skin does look plump, glowy, and dewy but not the greasy kind. It can be a placebo effect but my hyperpigmentation gradually decreased as well. But then, when I stopped drinking, it feels like some of the effects instantly vanish as well. Overall, I recommend this for those who want to improve their complexion before a big occasion.
PROS
It plumps and moisturizes the skin.
Lightens hyperpigmentation, in time.
CONS
Result may be temporary.

PRODUCT RATING

WHAT IS IT?

ivi Collagen Premium Drink claims to moisturize and plump up the skin; lightens dark spots and uneven pigmentation; strengthens the skin and makes it more elastic; replenishes the body’s collagen supply; firms up the skin and smoothens the lines. It’s practically a 10,000mg anti-aging collagen drink in a ready-to-drink bottle.

MY EXPERIENCE

Before I bought this collagen, of course, I did some research first on the best Japanese collagen supplement. After all, this kind of supplement isn’t cheap. I did learn that collagen is best to drink than applied to the skin, which I will thoroughly blog later. And I also learned that this drink is really effective, but there are also a few negative reviews that its effects are only temporary. When you stop drinking it, it’s gone! Despite that, this drink is still the cheapest one on the market that contains 10,000mg of collagen, so I still bought I asked my father to buy me 7 bottles.

Of course I also considered that it may be just a placebo effect

First of all, the apple flavor tastes better than the peach. But they don’t taste like medicine at all, it’s like juice! Second, my aunt, who is a pharmacist informed me that the effectiveness of supplements like this depends on a person’s metabolism. There are people who may immediately see results while there are those who may need a month or two. In my case, I see improvement in a week. It was somehow effective. I prefer drinking this before I sleep to make sure that I will not eat anything after drinking this and I could see the results when I wake up.

Whenever I wake up the next day, my skin does look plumper and dewy but not the greasy kind. Of course, I also considered that it may be just a placebo effect. So I continued using this for a month. Around 2 weeks in it, I really did saw a new kind of “glow” to my skin and it looks plumper even though I didn’t do my nighttime 5-step skincare routine. The hyperpigmentation on both sides of my cheeks did lighten but I’m not really sure if it is because of the ivi Collagen Premium Drink or it’s because of my LJH Vita Propolis Ampoule or some other beauty products in my skincare routine. Because I don’t really see any assurance that it really works more than just moisturizing and plumping which I could both get from my other skincare products, I eventually stopped drinking it. And the moment I stopped, it seems like some of the effects were gone exactly like what the other blogger mentioned in the review I’ve read before purchasing.

Overall, I recommend this product for those who need instant improvement on their skin because they’ll be attending a wedding, have an interview, a meeting, or anything. I recommend drinking this a week before the day, but it works within 24 hours as well.
