Beauty in a Bottle: Mosbeau Collagen Plus 12000 Review

I recently had my birthday, it may be a quarter-life crisis or the news that Lee Dong Wook is dating Suzy Bae, but since then I started getting into beauty supplements. And I’m I’m just kidding on the last part, it’s probably quarter-life crisis. Anyway, I started with ivi Premium Collagen Drink but I got bored with it eventually so I moved on to another which has more than just collagen and vitamin C… but is it worth it? Scroll down to read my Mosbeau Collagen Plus 12000 review.

WHAT IS IT?

Mosbeau Collagen Plus 12000 claims to make your skin look smooth and healthy. It’s an anti-aging drink that contains 12000mg of collagen and helps retain elasticity and firmness. It’s also sugar-free, low calorie, and delicious mango flavored.


INGREDIENTS

Water, Collagen (fish), L-Cystine, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, Coenzyme Q10, Marine Salmon Egg, Elastin, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B6, Mangifera indica extract, Mangifera indica flavor, Galacto-oligosaccharide, Maltitol, Caramel, Citric Acid, Cyclodextrin

Fish Collagen – It is one of the most potent anti-aging, antioxidant, whitening and overall skin beautification agents and it is readily absorbed by the human skin than animal collagen. Its amino acids naturally complement the body’s collagen resulting in a more effective anti-aging treatment.

Elastin – It enhances elasticity (for firmer and tighter skin); boosts skin strength; smooths the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and perks up loose, sagging skin.

Hyaluronic Acid – It boosts the skin’s moisture, aids in tissue repair and holds together the skin’s structural components (collagen and elastin) to effectively reduce fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of increasing age.

Coenzyme Q10 – It is known for its exemplary functions in reducing the rate of the aging processes, such as increasing the level of collagen and elastin; keeping the skin cells moist and healthy, and giving your skin the ability to stretch and return back to its normal shape and tightness.

Marine Salmon Eggs (Japan Patented) – It is a proven skin whitening and anti-aging agent in Japan. It is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce stress, fight depression and boost mood.

PERFORMANCE

HOW TO DRINK: Shake well. Consume the entire content immediately upon opening. Intake can be daily or on alternate days. Tastes best when chilled.

FLAVOR: Only mango


PACKAGING: Unlike the ivi Premium Collagen Drink, the Mosbeau Collagen Plus 12000 can only be bought in boxes. Meaning you can’t buy just one bottle, you have to buy the whole box that contains either 5 bottle or 15 bottles.

RESULT: I drank the Mosbeau Collagen Plus 12000 every day for the first 15 days. After that, and since this is pricier since I have to buy this in packs, I decided to continue drinking this every other day. And even if I did that, the effect I do see some results like my hyperpigmentation are starting to fade, not just lighten, especially on both sides of my cheek near my ears. My skin feels and looks smoother too, no bulls**t!
 effectiveness of beauty supplements like this depends on your metabolism. Some take just 2 weeks, others just a month and there are those that take even two months! This is not a magic potion so be patient.
On the photo on the left below is my selfie last February, while on the right is my selfie today. As you could see, my skin looks brighter, smoother, and has fewer spots. Even though there’s a new cystic acne on my cheek (damn you hormones!), I think we could all agree my skin looks better than last month? Although it worked great for me for just a month, remember that the effectiveness of beauty supplements like this depends on your metabolism. Some take just 2 weeks, others just a month and there are those that take even two months! This is not a magic potion so be patient. 

VERDICT
PROS: It tastes good like juice, unlike other beauty supplements. It contains more than just collagen and vitamin C, it also has hyaluronic acid and coenzyme q10. It really smoothened my skin, lightened my dark spots, and my skin always feels supple. This product is definitely a hit for me.

CONS: You can only buy them in a pack.

WHERE TO BUY?
You can purchase the Mosbeau Collagen Plus 12000 Drink for Php925 (5 pieces) in Zalora and also in Watsons branches nationwide and in their online store. A 15-pack box is also available for Php2675.

There are actually more Mosbeau Collagen supplements like the tablet and the jelly placenta which I will be featuring next week.

HOW I GOT RID OF MY ACNE AND ACNE SCARS

HI LOVIES! Finally! After years of battling severe acne and bad skin, here I am getting compliments and questions about my skin!

Long story short, I had Cystic acne 2 years ago (I was18 yrs old). They are these blister looking painful massive zits. Cystic acne is the most severe form of acne. It is not caused by chocolates, nuts, greasy foods nor by poor hygiene. The main factor behind acne is hormonal change. 

My acne was everywhere, it was all over my face, some on my neck, chest and back. I obviously lost my self confidence. I hated my skin. I hated my face. It was to the point where I don't go out with my friends anymore or even go out of my room. Even my relatives told me I looked horribly ugly (harsh right? as if I wasn't aware of how ugly and gross I looked like) Anyway, I was a woman desperate for a miracle. I did everything, I researched about everything! skin, pores, chemicals that are good or bad for the skin, medicines, machines, healthy diet etc... I bought and tried everything I thought will cure my skin. I never went to a Dermatologist 'cause I was scared. Scared that they won't be able to help me or prescribe me meds that can cause serious side effects. I had those nights where I cry myself to sleep worrying on how I will face tomorrow with a smile. It was only 7 months ago when my cystic acne looked a lot smaller and were lessen (Images below). I  remember it was March when I made a regimen for myself, then after 2 months, BAM! no more cystic acne! I only had scars here and there and some whiteheads. I felt like it was a miracle lol. Right before I left for the Philippines, I got the acne free skin I prayed for!

Here's my before and after photos:
