Skin Duo

Two products, one job. The skin you have at forty-five is not the skin you had at twenty-five: it makes less collagen, and it holds less water. This pairs the two supplements that deal with each half.

Marine collagen + vitamin C

4,500 mg of hydrolysed fish collagen peptides per 10 g scoop, with 100 mg vitamin C and 100 mg acerola cherry extract, plus hyaluronic acid, CoQ10 and selenium. The vitamin C is not a garnish. Collagen synthesis requires it as an enzymatic cofactor, so the dose you take is a dose your body can actually use — most collagen powders pair vitamin E, or nothing at all. 30 servings per tub. One scoop, stirred into your morning coffee.

Phyto-ceramides

420 mg phytoceramides complex per capsule, from oat hull fibre, spinach, sweet potato, apple, konjac root and oat straw. Ceramides are part of what keeps moisture inside the skin barrier, and the body makes fewer of them with age. One capsule daily. 60 capsules per bottle.

Why the pair

Collagen works on structure, from the inside. Ceramides work on the barrier that holds water in. Together they cover both of the things that change through your forties and fifties, and neither one does the other's job.

It goes under the routine you already have. Nothing to give up, nothing to swap — a scoop and a capsule.

Allergens: contains fish. The collagen is marine-derived, so this bundle is not vegan.
