If you’re concerned about the effects of aging on your appearance, pay attention. Ceramides and collagen are essential skin nutrients that slowly fade away as we age. Thankfully, we can replenish these not only by feeding our skin from the outside in (serums, creams, etc), but from the inside out too (nutricosmetic). NeoCell has been developing and manufacturing all natural (not synthetic), gluten-free, premium anti-aging formulas for over 20 years and is the originator and industry authority on solutions that promote vital collagen health. They manufacture their products using carefully sourced food-grade raw materials and their facility exceeds all GMP standards.

I was chosen to try out a couple of their products, and I’d like to share them with you.

Neocell Ceramides Skin Hydrator

One of the things that will make your skin appear older is dehydration. CERAMIDES SKIN HYDRATOR is a capsule scientifically formulated for healthy skin hydration. Yes, you can drink 2 – 3 liters of water a day, but this adds a unique blend of beauty-enhancing nutrients that promote skin hydration, elasticity, and cellular turnover for glowing, supple skin. *

Ceramides are specific lipids (fats) naturally present in the skin, essential to the skin’s moisture barrier. They strengthen the skin’s outer most layer and act as a water barrier to prevent the evaporation of moisture through the epidermis, keeping the skin hydrated and supple. Ceramides also prevent the breakdown of the skin’s collagen matrix by inhibiting collagenase, an enzyme that degrades collagen. *Ceramosides™ Ceramides are plant based lipids and clinically tested to increase smoothness, moisture, and elasticity starting in just 15 days. *‡

HYALURONIC ACID is a water-loving nutrient that is naturally occurring in the skin to help maintain suppleness, hydration & elasticity. *

SKIN HYDRABLEND™ a scientifically crafted blend of nutrients supporting hydration while combating free radicals in the body to support your collagen systems. *

I took two (2) capsules daily, and I noticed that my skin looked firmer, plumper and younger. They don’t taste like anything, are easy to swallow, and didn’t upset my stomach.

Neocell Marine Collagen plus Hyaluronic Acid Capsules

“Marine collagen 120 caps is nature’s rejuvenating source for joints, tendons, ligaments, bones, muscles, skin, hair and nails. It replenishes the body’s own collagen supply – provides essential antioxidants – corrects weak, split and damaged nail beds – slows hair loss and thickens fine hair – increases circulation and provides elasticity – there is no substitute for the powerful combination of fish (tilapia) collagen with natural hyaluronic acid and the benefits that it provides. As a dietary supplement, on an empty stomach take 2 capsules twice daily. For optimum nutritional benefit, wait 30 minutes before eating or taking any other supplements.

Collagen: The Beauty Protein

Collagen is the glue that holds the body together. It is the building block for all our body’s major systems and the second most common substance in the body, second only to water in terms of volume. Although we have plenty of it in our youth, the body’s natural Collagen production typically slows at a rate of 1.5% per year after the age of 25. As this collagen production slows, the collagen fibers in the body become brittle and begin to break down, resulting in a weakening of the skin matrix (dermis). The skin matrix is responsible for the structural integrity and resilience of the skin and its natural degradation results in many of the visible signs of aging such as fine lines, loss of elasticity, and eventually, deep wrinkles.

Hyaluronic Acid: Nature’s Moisturizer

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is found in every tissue of the body, and is an essential lubricant of healthy skin, joints, and eyes. HA production also slows with age, resulting in a loss of hydration and elasticity in the skin. Clinical studies show that HA assists in regulation of cell turnover in the skin, serves as an anti-oxidant to free radicals generated by UV radiation, and aids in communication between cells and cell-mediated immune response.*

Collagen Support Complex

Vitamin C, Copper, Vitamins B-6 and B-12 work synergistically with Fish Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid for optimum skin and tissue renewal.*” Taken from their website

Taking these as directed, I noticed that my hair was thicker, longer and shinier than it had been in a long time! I even got compliments on it!
