Hugely popular Boots Collagen range is £10 for a limited time only
Most of us have been reading for a while now about how important collagen is to the health of our skin.
But if you're like us, you've possibly been put off by the extortionate cost of collagen skincare and supplements, allow us to introduce to you Boots' own brand of collagen skincare, which is one of the most affordable collagen ranges we've come across – and it has great reviews too.
With all the products reduced to just £10 right now, the Boots beauty buys are causing a serious stir among customers. With many shoppers saying their very expensive skincare "isn’t even half as good" as the super-affordable range.
But what actually is collagen, and why is it so key for anti-ageing?
Sadly, our body loses its ability to produce collagen as we age. From the age of 20, we lose around 1% of this vital protein each year. Hence the older you get, the more your skin loses its elasticity.
Therefore, to help with the preservation of healthy skin, it's important to include key supplements and skincare ingredients in your lifestyle so that your collagen, elastin and proteins don't deplete.
While scientists are still studying the efficacy of collagen skincare and supplements, there are millions of collagen devotees who use it and swear by it.
Boots' range "offers high-performance ingredient-led skincare at an affordable price", here's why it should be on your radar.

"Lovely cream. Makes my 70-year-old skin feel great."
"I bought this on a whim. I’m 51 and am now on my second jar. My skin looks more plumped up and lines looks shallower. Not bad for a good value cream. Going to buy the night cream too. I have normal to dry skin and find this perfect."
"Super rich and softening! Looks nice under makeup and acts as a good base. Will repurchase, definitely worth the money."
"I have noticed that after 2 weeks the results start to appear. I have now been using the range for over 3 weeks and have noticed that my skin is plumped out and smoother."

I usually use high end brands but never had a result this instant, I now want the whole range!"
