When it comes to choosing beauty supplements, it’s the ingredients that make all the difference. One brand offers results from science-backed research, with a unique collection of supplements that can revitalise your skin and help recolour those pesky greys. Sound too good to be true? Read on to learn how they can work for you.
Clinicians ReJuvenate Capsules 60s, $45.
For me, this is the jewel in Clinician’s crown. A beauty supplement with collagen strengthening abilities that boost firmness in the upper layers of the skin. It’s stacked with the moisture magnet hyaluronic acid that binds water in the skin to keep it looking and feeling plump. Astaxanthin is a potent antioxidant that helps protect the skin from the free radicals from UV sun damage. And finally, nourishing avocado oil - this is edible beauty at its best.
Clinicians ReColour Capsules 60s, $45.
Ideal for those who are noticing that grey hairs are starting to outnumber the hair colour you were born with. The active ingredient is melanin, which is responsible for the pigment in your hair, that fades as we age. This supplement uses bioavailable Melatine™ (extracted from black French sheep’s wool), to stimulate the natural production of melanin, so as the new hair grows it contains more colour pigment.
CLINICIANS REVITALISE CAPSULES 30’S, $45.
As we age, hair thins, loses its vitality and shine. That’s because the natural keratin (a protein found naturally in hair, skin, and nails), declines over time. This clever supplement is formulated with KeraGen-IV® keratin extracted from New Zealand sheep's wool, which not only strengthens hair, it helps anchor hair follicles in the scalp, which means less fall. Over time you can expect thicker, fuller, shiny hair, we call that a win-win.
