Image Skincare Yana Daily Collagen Supplement review
Introduction
[amazon link=”B07BMY7JMZ” title=”Image Skincare Yana Daily Collagen Supplement” /] is a highly concentrated liquid beauty supplement powered by Lumiplex™ technology.
Details
[amazon link=”B07BMY7JMZ” title=”Image Skincare Yana Daily Collagen Supplement” /] is a liquid beauty supplement rich in collagen, antioxidants (like Vitamin C and green tea), vitamins and hyaluronic acid.
All these goodies are proven to hydrate skin and fight wrinkles. Vitamin C and green tea are powerful antioxidants that fight the free radicals that cause wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid deeply hydrates even the driest of skin. Collagen peptides firm skin.
Collagen is the protein that keeps your skin firm and elastic. When you’re young, your skin has so much collagen, it’s firm and bounces back immediately when you pinch it.
By the time you turn 21 (21, ladies!), your body starts producing less and less collagen. Soon, skin starts to sag and wrinkle. If you want to slow down this process, you need to replenish the collagen your skin lost.

Collagen creams aren’t the way to do it. Collagen boosters (I’ve listed my fave here) are a better way to get your collagen fix but they can work slowly. A liquid supplement seems like the answer to all your prayers.
Problem is, collagen peptides don’t reach your skin intact. Think about what happens when you eat a steak. Your body breaks it down into its different nutrients. It’s the same with collagen. When you drink it, your body breaks it down into amino acids (FYI, amino acids are the building blocks of proteins).
Your body than takes these amino acids and uses them for whatever it needs at the time. It may use them to boost bone health and decrease joint pain, strengthen brittle nails or firm skin.
So, yeah, it does something for the skin. A 2014 study confirms this. Women who took a supplement with collagen peptides reported an increase in skin’s firmness and hydration – unlike those who used the placebo.
The takeaway: you may drink collagen to get rid of your wrinkles but your body doesn’t know that. It’ll use that collagen for whatever it needs, firming skin included.

Review 1
My husband said my skin looks radiant.
Review 2
This is expensive stuff. Sounds counter-intuitive, but I wanted it not to work so that I wouldn't have to buy it again.
I like it, though. Tastes good
Review 3
Very tasty and I can feel my skin and hair improving. Love it!
Review 4
I buy this online because it's much less expensive online. It's a great product and works!
Review 5
This is my second bottle of this stuff. The taste is meh, I just chug water right after.
I have noticed that I was having a lot of tummy issues towards the end of my first bottle, but I'm willing to give it another go.
Review 6
I had my doubts but I have to say that a month of Yana had my skin glowing. Also – when I went to salon for a haircut – my stylist asked what I had been “taking” as she said my hair was quite a bit thicker. (And she’s been doing my hair for a long time). I had tried other collagen supplements previously and they made me break out…but Yana has given me no adverse effects.
Review 7
I have been using Image Skincare Yana Collagen for a few months and have been seeing visible results. A must-have arsenal for your skincare regime.
Conclusion
Image Skincare Yana Daily Collagen Shot is a daily collagen supplement that keeps your skin moisturised and improves its overall condition. But it didn't reduce my fine lines.
