We tested it for you... The collagen cure
We’re hearing about it everywhere... Collagen is all the rage! We’re used to seeing it in our creams and serums, but not so much in dietary supplements. Yet, taking it as a dietary supplement is said to help delay the signs of aging, combat dehydration, and add shine to your hair and strength to your nails. So we tested three different marine collagen regimens for you over several months, and here are our Review(s).
Collagen, the key protein for plump skin
First and foremost...
Before we begin this article, we'd like to make it clear that at Oh My Cream, we don't advocate anti-aging or anti-wrinkle at all costs , quite the contrary. Rather, our idea is to accompany the skin with specific treatments that will reveal all its beauty. And it's for this reason (and because we're firm believers in the power of "in & out" routines) that we decided to testthe collagen cure for you.
What are the results of Combeau's tasteless, odorless collagen powder?
I started my collagen treatment mainly as an anti-ageing preventive measure on the eve of my 30th birthday, but as I have an even complexion that sometimes lacks radiance, I could see a clear improvement after 15 days. My skin is brighter, less oily, my spots and scars have faded and my pores are tighter. What's more, the little wrinkle that's been marking my forehead for some time now is much less visible. My skin is more comfortable and radiant, but it's above all the benefits of this marine collagen powder on my nails and hair that have completely blown me away! Indeed, after 1 month's treatment, my nails are stronger, my hair shinier and growing much faster. I'm looking forward to continuing this tasteless, odorless collagen treatment.
What are the results of the Agent Nateur collagen cure on hair and nails?
Looking for a boost to complement my hair care routine, I decided to try this collagen treatment. After my daughter was born, I’d lost all my hair volume, and my hair looked “lifeless.” What won me over? Its generous size, which makes it perfect for a long-term regimen, and how easy it is to use—you just add a scoop of powder to your morning coffee. In 15 days, my hair was shiny and looked revitalized. After a month and a half of using the treatment , I noticed a lot of new hair growth. As for my skin, it quickly became more radiant and plump. And I noticed a real improvement in the delicate areas that show signs of aging quickly—the eye and lip contours. I highly recommend it!
Collagen Treatment and Hair: What Do the Before-and-After Results Look Like?
While the skin benefits from the effects of collagen, hair (and nails) also experience visible benefits. Following a similar progression to that of the skin, hair often becomes softer and more supple From first few weeks, while hair growth—which is more gradual—becomes apparent as the treatment continues… That’s where consistency pays off!
Before starting the treatment, the situation is often the same: dull, brittle hair that grows slowly or falls out a little more than usual—especially after pregnancy, a stressful period, or a change of season. This is nothing out of the ordinary; it’s actually a sign that your collagen reserves are running low.
After the treatment, the hair shaft becomes shinier and more supple, as confirmed by feedback from our customers who have used the Combeau and Agent Nateur treatments. It’s only after a month and a half of daily treatment that the real transformation takes place, with denser regrowth, stronger lengths, and hair that’s visibly more vigorous at the roots.
To really see the results of this before-and-after comparison, we recommend taking a photo of your hair (roots and lengths, in natural light) on Day 1, and then repeating this every two weeks. This is often the best way to measure progress that you don't always notice in your daily life when looking in the mirror.
One last thing to keep in mind is that consistency is more important than dosage. Taking a collagen supplement every other day will always yield less visible results for your hair than taking it daily, even at a lower dose.
And if your priority is actually your hair rather than your skin, we invite you to check out our selection of hair supplements, designed to prioritize density and shine.
