Collagen Peptides - Unflavored
"If it's in your coffee anyway, fine. Don't budget it as skincare."
Our take
Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides is an unflavored collagen powder that dissolves into hot or cold drinks. It's an easy protein add. Research on collagen supplements for skin is genuinely disputed, so we treat it as optional rather than a skincare step.

Our Take
Why it made the edit.
- Why we love it
- Unflavored and dissolves easily, so it disappears into coffee or a smoothie. A simple way to add protein to a breakfast that's mostly caffeine.
- Skip it if
- You're buying it instead of sunscreen. Spend on SPF first.
- The catch
- A 2025 meta-analysis found no benefit for skin aging in higher-quality and non-industry-funded trials; industry groups dispute it.
