Can a daily nutritional supplement give you better skin? Neutrogena thinks so.
Long associated with skin creams and soaps designed to treat everything from teen acne to fine lines and wrinkles in old age, the brand is sold. “Customized” nutritional supplements.
Skinstax nutritional gummies are revealed in CES, are 3D-printed bi-bar rainbow layer creations made to order by Nourished, Neutrogena’s project partner. It’s packed with vitamins including A, C, and E, along with antioxidants and other nutrients, which Neutrogena says will boost your skin’s health from the inside out. It’s also sugar-free and vegan, and you can choose from several fruit flavors.

However, it’s worth remembering that claims are anything but that, even though Neutrogena says it has the research to back up its claims. Like the other Nutritional supplementsThese are not drugs or medicines and are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration or other government agencies.
there is a lot of Fraudulent supplements There is, and normally, I would be very skeptical of a product like this, but the Neutrogena brand has some weight and it made me curious.
Neutrogena labels Skinstacks gummies “personalised” because the type of gum recommended to a person is determined in part by scanning their face, done through the company’s mobile site. The scan, which is best done at home when you’re not wearing any makeup, looks at facial characteristics such as pore size, wrinkles, and fine lines, and then compares your characteristics to a database of thousands of faces.
The scanner registers a person’s face in categories such as “clearer skin,” “wrinkles,” and “radiance.” I also polled you about your skin priorities. For example, while some people may not have acne or wrinkles that show up on a scan, they can still worry about these things.
After compiling this data, users end up with a recommendation for one of five types of supplements. The options are categorized as “elastic,” “ageless,” “hydrate,” “clear,” and “glow.” If they choose, people can order a 28-day supply at a cost of $50. The gum is 3D printed to order at our Nourished facility in the UK and takes approximately seven to 10 days to ship.
I tried the scanner while at CES, though it’s worth noting that I was wearing makeup at the time, which could skew the results. The scanner, which is built into a mobile website and uses your phone’s camera, was easy to use and only took a few minutes. The process is similar to that used when setting up Face ID on an iPhone.
All of my grades were pretty good, but the scanner did notice the wrinkles—when I got to my middle, I didn’t find that surprising, but it was still a little frustrating. As a result, the site recommended trying the permanent supplement, which includes layers of riboflavin and the antioxidant CoQ10.
It’s worth noting that all five options are pretty much the same. Five layers of seven layers are the same. They are the last two that differ depending on a particular skin problem.
You can choose from a handful of flavors, including watermelon and tangy cherry. The chewing gum is coated with flavor after it is printed. The gum i tried had a somewhat nondescript fruit flavor, but it was still pleasant. It wasn’t something I would eat as a treat, but as a once-a-day vitamin it would be fine.
The idea that they are customized is kind of gimmicky. There are only five options and I think most people already know what their skin issues are, but Neutrogena argues that this isn’t always the case. You can easily stock them on drugstore shelves, rather than having people check out and order them online, but in the store they may just disappear into the sea of supplements already out there.
Is it worth spending $50 on something that might reduce your wrinkles or make your skin brighter? Without hard evidence to prove that chewing gum works, i am not sure if the answer is yes. But a lot of other people are already spending a lot more money than you would on similar products.
