My love for COLLAGEN will never stop since I first tried it in December 2016. Years back, I was always consistent with taking of collagen for my skin. But since 2021, there are times that I take the collagen then stopped for while then take it again. I am now on my mid 30's and I can already feel the signs or aging such as dry skin and low back pains. That's now my main reason why I am starting to consistently take collagen again.
Collagen does a big help on taking care of our skin by keeping its moisture and making it more youthful. It also helps to make my skin soft and supple even if I only have few hours of sleep.
Today, I am gonna share with you a famous COLLAGEN on the market but I only took it now.
This is the SHISHEIDO COLLAGEN POWDER which contains low molecular fish collagen, patented beauty ingredients derived from super fruits (cowberry + amla fruit), strawberry seed extract, Unshu mandarin orange extract, Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C. It helps your skin to stay looking young, smooth, and beautiful.
Key Ingredients:
Low molecular weight fish collagen 5000mg
Hyaluronic Acid 1mg
Ceramide 60mcg
Vitamin C 50mg
What does COLLAGEN does to the body?
- Increase collagen content in skin as to improve elasticity
- Reduce hyper pigmentation
- Increase skin antioxidant function, keeps skin elastic, accelerated cell growth dermal layer, activation of the superficial cells prevent wrinkles, anti-aging
- Improves the immune system
We all produce collagen in the body but at around 20's, the collagen production slowly decreases
Age 20: one percent less collagen is produced in the dermis every year.
Age 30, collagen production in your body declines.
Age 40: collagen is no longer produced by your body.
Age 50: collagen is diminished, leaving behind dry, thin, and sensitive skin.
WHEN WILL I SEE THE EFFECTS OF TAKING COLLAGEN?
It varies from one person to another person but usually you'll start to see the effects (not full effects) in as early as 3-12 weeks with a daily use. I personally seen the full effects in about 2-3 months and maintain it on the next coming months while still taking the collagen.
Consistency is key! Thus using or taking collagen supplements at a younger age are better to feel and see the full effects.
Packaging: Comes in a fuchsia color- resealable pack. No scoop included.
Weight: 126g
Serving Size: 1 scoop / 6g
1 pouch : good for 21 days

How To Use:
Add a spoon of powder (6g) into common drink like coffee, cocoa, soup, hot milk, or yogurt, stir well. Take once or twice a day.
*For first timers: You can consume half spoon at first or in smaller amount to let your body adjust to this new product. Then after 2weeks to a month, you can adjust if to 3/4 spoon until 1 spoon a day).
*I usually mix 1 spoon of Shisheido with my coffee once a day. Not particular with the time since I have a shifting work.
You can watch the video review on my Youtube channel below:
Pros:
- Less pimples
- Smooth and plumper skin (even if I'm stress or lack of sleep)
- Skin is brighter
- Glowing skin
- Good booster for the immune system
Cons:
- Effective for about 2 months then I didn't feel any difference after
Since this is the first time (in a while) that I am taking collagen again, I took 1/2 spoon for about 2 weeks then slowly used 1 scoop thereafter. At first, I love how glowing, smooth and brighter my skin is after a few weeks of use. My pimples were lessen thus making my skin soft and smooth. I am starting to have back pains every time I bend and after weeks of using this, the back pains lessened. Even though I have lack of sleep from work, I feel like my skin is plump the morning after. After 3 packs of Shisheido collagen, I didn't noticed any effects anymore - some of my pimples are back and my back pains are there again. I started to increase my dose but finds it expensive as 1 pouch now lasts for less than 3 weeks.
Don't get me wrong. Shisheido collagen is a good product but I just personally find it too expensive to buy 2 packs that would lasts me for 1 month. The product is good but I think I need more than 5,000mg of collagen for a maintenance.
Right now, I am trying out a new collagen again - much higher dose than this and will let you know my review in the future.
Taking care of our skin doesn’t just focus on the physical application of skincare products but also what we intake or how we take care of our skin from within. I can say that COLLAGEN plays a BIG ROLE (over the years) to keep my skin healthy, acne free and youthful.
