Road Test 

Collagen is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies, a protein which helps to make our skin plump, taut and strong, and it’s the second most abundant substance in our bodies after water. As we age, however, levels of this essential protein naturally start to decline, and once you hit middle age, you’ll have lost around half of the collagen in your body resulting in wrinkles, saggy skin, thinner hair and weaker nails. That’s where a collagen-rich beauty product can not only add a significant boost to your skin, but also help to keep your it healthy and looking at its best. The Inkey List Collagen Booster is a great option. It’s a lightweight facial serum designed to tighten skin and soften fine lines and wrinkles, leaving your complexion feeling softer as well as looking plumper and healthier, and can be used in addition to your usual serums. The formula contains two key ingredients unique to The Inkey List products. One is Matrixyl 3000, which smooths and hydrates to mimic the effect of what natural collagen would do to your skin, helping it appear plumper and firmer. The other is Syn-Tacks, a dual peptide which has collagen-boosting benefits and gives an added boost to the skin to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This effective serum is also free of a range of “nasties” including parabens, formaldehydes, formaldehyde-releasing agents, and mineral oil, and it contains less than one percent of synthetic fragrances. I road tested the The Inkey List Collagen Booster for a week, adding it to my routine morning and night; in the morning before my vitamin C serum and moisturiser, and at night before my vitamin A serum and moisturiser. Then for another week I added a couple of drops to my moisturiser morning and nigh. Both ways worked extremely well, although if you’re looking for a more significant boost, you have more mature skin, or it’s during the cooler, winter months, using it alone is likely to be more effective in the long run. Overall my skin felt more supple and smooth, and it looked brighter and nicely plump. And a bonus, I found that the occasional winter skin red patches I can get on my complexion were eased, and the serum had a pleasant cooling effect which would be welcome in the summer. The Inkey List Collagen Booster is ideal for daily or occasional use, making it great for travellers, with the added bonus of it coming in a small tube and being highly affordable given the terrific boost it delivers.
