The sweltering summer is coming. Is your skin ready to cope? Apart from daily sun protection, collagen has become a beauty holy grail of today.
Collagen, as the best beauty product of today, is being pursued by countless beautiful young women this summer. We all know that collagen can help smooth out wrinkles, maintain skin moisture, restore skin elasticity, rejuvenate the skin, and provide countless other benefits. It's no wonder that beautiful celebrities like Lin Zhiling and Zhao雅Zhi are taking collagen-based beauty products.
Since this beauty secret was widely spread, many merchants selling collagen have emerged. The collagen market quickly became mixed with various types of products: collagen powder, collagen tablets, collagen capsules, collagen drinks... With so many varieties, it's hard to tell "which brand of collagen is really good?"

5. Amway Collagen Tablets

Features: Made in the USA, not pure collagen, equivalent to the role of a nutrient supplement. Neither particularly effective nor harmful, but cheap price.

Purchase channels: Some large pharmacies, online shops.
Editor’s review: Regardless of whether we talk about direct sales or multi-level marketing, there are still quite a few people who either approve or disapprove of Amway. The key issue is the collagen content in the tablets, which isn't appreciated by more knowledgeable consumers.
