Collagen supplements are big business these days, with loads of shoppers swearing by them for not just health benefits but beauty perks too, as they’re said to help boost collagen production and therefore deliver plumper, smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Ingestible collagen comes in various forms, including powders, liquids and capsules, but they can be rather pricey – which is why we’re not shocked to see masses of Boots customers stocking up on this product today, while it’s on offer.
As part of today’s Boots £10 Tuesday deals, a 210g pot of Boots Marine Collagen Powder is slashed down from its regular price of £30 to £10 for one day only – and customers have reported remarkable results from using it.

This Boots collagen powder contains 5,000mg of marine collagen (widely considered to be the most effective), has a tropical flavour and is designed to be mixed into water to create a delicious drink, one of which should be consumed daily (the tub contains 30 servings). Also featuring vitamin C, it claims to ‘help support the firmness and elasticity of the skin’ – and Boots customers largely agree that it does deliver.
“Have notified a difference in my skin after 2 months! Love it,” one person commented on the website.
“It’s been 6 weeks since I started taking it and I’ve noticed a difference already,” another person wrote, reports the Mirror. “My skin is a little plumper, the fine lines I noticed have reduced and only appear when I’m very tired and my skin is better moisturised. I like the taste, although I will switch to flavourless when the summer is over because it’s like tropical squash. No fishy taste or smell.”
“I’ve tried a few different collagen supplements and this one is the least offensive and is actually relatively tasty. No trace of a fishy smell or taste,” a third agreed. “And the proof is in the pudding – 3 people have commented on my skin in the past 6 weeks and none knew I was taking this supplement so I’m giving it a big thumbs up! Thanks Boots – a reasonable price too for marine collagen (as opposed to bovine based alternatives)!”.
However, not everyone experienced such impressive results. One customer commented: “This was easy to mix up, but unfortunately, not so easy to drink as the flavour and smell is pretty off putting. I did continue to use the product and finish the tub despite this, but didn’t really notice any difference. I couldn’t see any improvement in my hair or skin, but as a positive I did ‘feel’ slightly brighter.”
Experts suggest persevering with collagen supplements – like any nutritional addition – for a minimum of 3 months before evaluating outcomes. With today’s offer allowing you to purchase 3 months’ supply for the cost of just one month typically, it might be the perfect moment to bulk buy.
These Boots £10 Tuesday deals often fly off the shelves, so if this has sold out by the time you come to shop, we’ve got plenty of other collagen recommendations. We’re also fans of Gold Collagen Pure, from £39 for 10, for single-shot drinks, Vida Glow Natural Marine Collagen, £39 for 30, for fruity flavours that mix easily into water, and Verve Naked Beauty Collagen, from £64, for a tasty powder that’s perfect for adding into smoothies. All of these options contain a higher quantity of collagen than the Boots one, too, so you may see quicker or more noticeable results.
