Skin, Hair & Nails brings together beauty supplements, hair formulas and over-the-counter skin care in one place. Shop collagen powders and capsules, high-strength biotin, acne washes and benzoyl peroxide treatments, lip balms and tanning lotions from brands such as OstroVit, Trec, Neutrogena, PanOxyl and Blistex.
This hub has three routes, depending on whether you want something to take or something to apply:
Supplements are foods, so the claims they can make are set by law. The nutrients with authorised claims in this area are biotin, zinc, selenium, copper and vitamin C. Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and normal skin, zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, nails and skin, and vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin. Collagen and hyaluronic acid have no authorised claims, so compare them on source, dose and format. Trace Minerals Ionic Biotin + Collagen combines biotin and collagen in one flavoured liquid.
Many of the acne products in Skin Care are over-the-counter medicines containing benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or sulfur. Read the leaflet, start with a lower strength if your skin is sensitive, and ask a pharmacist if you already use another acne treatment.
If you want collagen as part of a joint and connective-tissue routine rather than a beauty one, see Collagen & MSM. Paired products at a combined price are in Skin & Body Care Bundles.
It depends on what you want. Cleansers, spot treatments and lip balms act where you apply them, while supplements add nutrients to your diet, so many people use one product from each section.
Biotin, zinc, selenium, copper and vitamin C. For example, biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, and selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and nails.
No. Collagen comes from fish (marine) or cattle (bovine), so it is not vegetarian. Vegans can look at biotin products such as OstroVit Biotin VEGE instead.
Many acne washes and pads are used by teenagers, but age guidance differs by product, so check the label. A pharmacist can help choose a strength, and a GP should see acne that is severe or scarring.
Orders placed before 3:45pm Monday to Friday, or 12pm on Saturday, are usually dispatched the same day by Royal Mail, and UK orders over £59.99 ship free.
