This ivi Collagen Premium Drink review will surely not be the last beauty supplement I will be featuring on this blog. I’ve been on the hunt for supplements that I can drink, either in powder, liquid, or gummy form. And then I found this! But does it work? Scroll down to read my ivi Collagen Premium Drink review.
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.
HOW TO DRINK: Drink 1 bottle daily after a meal. Shake well before drinking. Consume immediately after opening. And it tastes better when chilled.
FLAVORS: Apple and Peach
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 better to drink than apply to the skin, which I will thoroughly blog about later. I also learned that this drink is 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. Some people may immediately see results while some may need a month or two. In my case, I see improvement in a month. 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 can see the results when I wake up.
Whenever I wake up the next day, my skin looks plumper and brighter 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 into it, I did see 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 on 4th week but I’m not 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 see any assurance that it works more than just plumping and glow which I could both get from my other skincare products, I eventually stopped drinking it. The moment I stopped, it seemed like some of the glow was gone exactly like what the other blogger mentioned in the review I’d read before purchasing.
Overall, I recommend this product for those who need instant improvement on their skin because they’ll be attending a wedding, having an interview, a meeting, or anything. I recommend drinking this a week before the day at least.
