NEW Orihiro Proteoglycan COLLAGEN & PLACENTA REVIEW

I’m already 31 (In a few months I’ll be 32! haha) and I believe that one should already take care of the skin (from within) especially that I can already see some signs of aging. Collagen does a big help on taking care of our skin by keeping its moisture and making it more youthful. Yay! It also helps to make my skin soft and supple even if I only have few hours of sleep.

The NEW ORIHIRO PROTEOGLYCAN COLLAGEN & PLACENTA is a food supplement that helps maintain the youthfulness of the skin.

*Key Ingredients:

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. 

Proteglycan benefits:

- Antioxidant and firming effect

- Ideal for dry skins or skins that have been exposed to UVA rays

- Hydrate skin deeply

- Smooth skin and prevent ageing

- Reparative effect and have wrinkle prevention action

- Stimulate the synthesis of collagen.

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..

Pros: 

- Smooth and plumper skin (even if I'm stress or lack of sleep) 

- Skin is brighter 

- Love the glow on my skin

- Good booster for the immune system

Cons:

- Had breakouts after 1 month of use

- Pricey

- Only available online

I already forgot what month I exactly tried this. At first, I love how glowing, smooth and brighter my skin is after a few weeks of use. I was a little stressed during the time I took this and noticed that I started to have small bumps to more pimples. I am not sure if it is because of stress, lack of sleep or because of this collagen. I immediately stop after 1 month of use and I noticed my breakouts slowly faded after 1-2 weeks after taking this collagen. I know that Orihiro is one of my MOST RECOMMENED collagen ever but sadly not for this variant.

If you'll ask me what’s the best Orihiro Collagen among the 4 (Old Placenta Collagen Powder vs Hyaluronic Acid Powder vs Dense Collagen), I still prefer this dense one since it has more collagen included. Honestly, I don't feel any difference compared to the old packaging. Though the Hyaluronic once gives more moisture to the skin.

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.
