SPRAY
Optase Protect is an antiviral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial spray for daily control of harmful germs that live on the eyelids and surrounding skin.
It contains HOCL, which is included in a list of disinfectants against Covid by the US and was deemed a “promising concept” by the NHS. Suitable for contact lens wearers and children.
I sprayed on to my eyelids each morning and it didn’t sting or smell.

BUDGET
Each serving of two gummies contains 1,000mg of hydrolysed marine collagen, known to improve cell reproduction to leave you with firmer and smoother skin as well as vitamin C, biotin and selenium to support hair and nail strength.
The strawberry flavour is nice, but they unfortunately contain added sugars.
MID
Marine collagen, sourced from wild-caught, unfarmed Canadian fish. Each serving (four capsules) contains 2,000mg of marine collagen as well as 100mg of hyaluronic acid and vitamin C.
Zinc, manganese and selenium are added to make this a great all-round beauty supplement, and I love that this one includes sustainably sourced ingredients for long-term use.
LUXURY
Liquid collagen containing 8,000mg of hydrolysed marine collagen per sachet – the highest available concentration on the market.
