Does Drinking Collagen Actually Change Your Skin?

At Tide, we believe that looking after yourself should be enjoyed, not endured. For too long, the wellness industry has made "being good to yourself" feel like a chore... filled with sickly-sweet supplements, clinical-tasting powders, and expensive shots that feel more like a task than a treat.

We’re here to change that narrative. Beauty isn't about hiding behind filters or just applying lipsticks and fillers; it's about nourishment that starts from within. But the big question remains: Does drinking collagen actually give you that coveted "glow"?

Let’s dive into the science of "Healthy Beauty."


The Science of the "Glow"

You may have heard that our natural collagen production begins to decline by about 1% every year once we hit our mid-20s. This decline is what eventually leads to fine lines and a loss of skin elasticity. However, not all collagen is created equal when it comes to getting those results back.

1. Bioavailability is Key

Tide uses premium Marine Collagen, sourced from wild-caught North Atlantic fish. Why marine? Because science shows it is 1.5x more bioavailable than bovine collagen. Its smaller peptides allow for faster, more efficient absorption, meaning the nutrients actually reach your skin, hair, and nails where they are needed most.

2. The "Magic" 5000mg Dose

To see a visible change in your skin’s hydration and firmness, dosage matters. Clinical studies show that a daily intake of 5g (5000mg) of collagen significantly enhances skin moisture in as little as 8 to 12 weeks. Every can of our Marine Collagen Beauty Water contains exactly this amount... designed for real results.

3. The Power of Vitamin C

Collagen needs a partner to work effectively. We’ve enhanced our formula with Vitamin C, which is essential for collagen synthesis and acts as a potent antioxidant to protect your skin cells from daily damage.


Enjoyed, Not Endured

Our founder, Louise Gray, started Tide because she was a busy mum juggling family and wellness, but she couldn't find a collagen supplement she actually wanted to drink. She was tired of the plastic bottles that felt like energy drinks and the sachets used to hide a bad taste.

Tide was born to be the product switch you look forward to. Whether it’s our Natural Raspberry or Natural Lemon & Lime, we’ve focused on flavour first so that your beauty ritual feels like a refreshing break in your day, not a medical requirement.


Take the 12-Week Tide Challenge

Real beauty isn't an overnight fix; it's a daily ritual. We invite you to join our Tide Challenge: 12 weeks of focusing on "Healthy Beauty" through better eating, exercise, and one Tide a day.

By swapping your usual soft drink for a Tide, you aren't just cutting out artificial ingredients... you're actively feeding your "glow" from the inside out.
