These supplements will give you glowing skin from the inside out.
Oral supplements are fast becoming the latest hot topic in skincare and for good reason. In conjunction with topical treatments, getting the right nutrients internally can do major things for the health of your skin, because sometimes a little help from within is required to maintain a bouncy, healthy complexion. Ideally, you would get all the vitamins and minerals you need from your diet, but even the healthiest eaters could benefit from a boost of supplementation.
The moral of the story is that a supplement regimen can work in synergy with your diet and regular topical skincare routine for optimum skin health. Ready to boost not just your beauty, but your whole body, too?
Ahead, ingestible beauty supplements for the best skin of your life.
Be Bright Pure Açaí Powder
Highlights
- Double the antioxidants of blueberries
- High in fibre
- Low in sugar and carbs
- Vegan, keto- and paleo-friendly
What it is
It’s pretty, delicious, and somehow contains all the magic of the Amazon rainforest in one tiny berry.

Be Bright Pure Collagen Powder
Highlights
- Sourced from grass-fed bovine
- Free from nasties

What it is
Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies, but collagen production slows down as we age. That’s bad news because your body and skin need collagen to stay healthy, which is where collagen powder (made with animal by-products) comes into play.
Beauty benefits
Supplementing with collagen is a safe and effective way to keep your skin, hair, nails and bones healthy and vibrant.
How to use
Easily dissolves in cold and hot beverages, so you can add it to your morning coffee or smoothies.

Beauty benefits
It helps to improve the hydration and firmness levels of the skin, as well as reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

GOLD COLLAGEN VEGAN
Highlights

- Free from nasties
What it is
This nutrient-packed formula not only features a vegan collagen alternative but also “super ingredients” like snow mushroom, which acts similar to hyaluronic acid by pulling water to the skin.

How to use
Sip on the recommended dose first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
R1320.00 for 10 x 50 ml
ALEXIA RICH
Highlights
- Collagen-boosting
- Free from nasties
- Vegan-friendly
What it is
Containing silica, the products in the Alexia Rich range will make the perfect sidekick to your collagen game. This wonder mineral – derived from quartz crystals – also plays an important role in keeping our hormones balanced.

If you’re active, you’ll want to grab the Alexia Rich Active Capsules. It’s specifically formulated for athletes. Packed with organic soluble silica and vitamin C, as well as magnesium, they will help to repair muscles and restore body tissues.
The Alexia Rich Beaty Capsules gives you plump, glowing skin. This youth-boosting supplement increases the transport of both nutrients and oxygen to the skin, and because of that, the skin stays bouncy.
In addition to repairing, strengthening and supporting your body and skin, the Alexia Rich Liquid Silica also removes toxins, which can make your skin look tired and dull and cause low energy.
How to use
Should be taken an hour before or after other medication to maximise effectiveness.
R399.00 for 60 capsules
Lamelle Ovelle D3
Highlights
“Over 80% of Ovelle users have experienced a significant change in their pigmentation”

Lamelle Acnevelle Plus
Highlights
“It’s proven to clear up to 88% of pimples in 8 weeks.”

A vitamin and mineral duo of niacinamide and zinc that balances the look of skin without stripping it. Too much zinc can lead to low copper levels. Therefore, this new version of Acnevelle now includes a dose of copper.
Beauty benefits
You can look forward to fewer breakouts, and more clear, calmer skin.
How to use
