Building blocks to promote young-looking skin
Young-looking skin requires optimum levels of collagen. From the age of 25 onwards, it is thought our body's collagen production starts to decline every year as part of the ageing process.

The addition of superfruits and antioxidants Vitamin C and Zinc helps to protect cells from free radical damage and support skin, hair and nail health.

About the product:

The Nature's Way beauty powder comes in a 120g white plastic bottle with a child-safe screw top lid (push down and turn to open).
The powder is very fine, pale pastel pink in colour.
One bottle gives two weeks usage, being used once every day as per the instructions.

My thoughts on the product:
I was initally looking for the Skin Physic's collagen elixir but had difficulty finding it in store, during my search I came across on special at Coles for $10.
After reading the ingredients list I decided to give it a try so picked up a bottle and have been using it once a day every day for the past two weeks.
I used it as instructed, mixed 3tsp of the powder with 250ml of milk, gave it a rigorous shake in my protein shaker bottle.
This beauty powder reminds me a lot like a couple of weight loss shakes I have tried; the taste of the smoothie and texture remind me a lot like the strawberry IsoWhey.
There is a noticeable strawberry taste to this but it isn't very pleasant initally; it took some getting used to!
I honestly found the taste to be a little off putting for the first few days as I got used to the taste.
It is, however, to be expected as they have not added any artifical flavours or sugars to compensate for taste.
I was a little disappointed after reading the ingredients list, I was expecting a berry blast of goodness but the berries are hardly detectable. There is a very light taste of strawberry, but quite a strong soy protein taste that leaves a unusual taste. Quite similar to weight loss shakes in terms of taste.
When mixed in a shaker with milk it does have quite a thick, fluffy texture and is quite filling.

In terms of efficiancy of this beauty powder, given the fact that one bottle only lasts two weeks, during the course of this time I have not seen any visibly noticeable difference in my skin, hair or nails; but I have also had no adverse effects either so this is a neutral review.

I think the size of the bottle is a little small; for 2 weeks of use at full price $29 is quite expensive.
Especially given consideration that results are not visible during the inital first bottle, a repeat purchase made after 2 weeks and every 2 weeks thereafter can quickly become costly.

I would recommend buying only on sale if you do decide to try it as one bottle does not last long
