Beauty buffs are raving over a supplement that they insist has transformed their skin. Equi London's Beauty Formula comes in two different options, either as capsules or a powder and contains a blend of 48 different vitamins and compounds.
Shoppers who've used it say it has helped brighten their complexions and clear skin while also giving them an energy boost. The main star ingredient is the GlowCutis blend. It contains Hyaluronic Acid, Type 1 Marine Collagen peptides, Zinc, Vit C, Pine Bark Extract, Resveratrol and Silica which helps support each stage of the skin cell cycle. This not only strengthens skin but is said to be a good way to counteract premature skin ageing.
With most beauty supplements you'd expect to find collagen which is a massively popular ingredient in the world of skincare, with it known to nourish hair and nails as well as being said to be good for joints. Equi's collagen is derived from seafood, meaning that it isn't vegan friendly but it does say it's sourced sustainably and free from hormones and chemicals.
The formula also includes ingredients such as: Acerola Cherry and Vitamin C for collagen production, Biotin, Selenium, Niacin for skin health and Zinc for the maintenance of hair, nails and skin. It's pulled in an average rating of 4.71 from over 185 reviews online, with shoppers praising the taste and saying that they noticed fewer breakouts once they started using it.
One shopper said: "I haven't had a spot since starting on this 3 months ago. I used to get a couple every month around my chin but they've totally gone and I can feel the difference too. So pleased with this and going to try the collagen with it too. Thanks Equi!"
A second said: "Absolutely love my beauty formula (capsules) I went on holiday and didn’t take them and could definitely tell the difference in my fatigue levels. These are a one stop vitamin for me which combines collagen, multivitamin, probiotic into one. They are definitely value for money.
"My mood feels a lot better with these to. I like the focus on hormonal balance, as I do think like a lot of women I suffer with an imbalance of hormones which can lead to fatigue, spots, low mood."
A third wrote: "I've taken lots of different collagen powders is in the past, but Beauty Formula gives you so much more. My skin looks great, but I also feel so much better. Love this product."
Not everyone got on with the taste of the product though, with one shopper leaving a four-star review, saying: "I have seen an improvement in my skin now although this is over a period of several months of using the Beauty Formula. I don't want to stop in case it gets worse again! I don't like the taste, to be honest, but I take it because I think it's good for me."
Equi London's Beauty Formula is expensive, with the cheapest option being a subscription that charges £51 for a months supply. There are similar products on the market, such as JSHealth's Skin Bright+ supplements which offer a two month supply for £61 however they don't have as many reviews.
