If your matcha latte has become as essential as your moisturizer, Combeau may have found something to please you. The French brand has brought together two ingredients that we hear a lot about: Japanese matcha and marine collagen. All in a drink to enjoy in the morning (with a little beauty bonus, of course).
Its matcha collagen promises to act on wrinkles, firmness and radiance of the complexion, with a short formula, without additives or preservatives. Enough to look at our morning ritual a little differently.
Japanese matcha and collagen to take care of the skin
The principle is rather clever. In each stick, Combeau combines hydrolyzed marine collagen peptides with organic matcha, grown mainly in the Kagoshima region, Japan. Two very different ingredients, but which each have their own interest.
On the one hand, marine collagen is studied for its effects on skin hydration and elasticity. On the other hand, matcha provides antioxidants, notably the famous catechins, which help protect cells against oxidative stress. Not forgetting the caffeine naturally present in green tea. The little extra? No added flavoring, with a taste that the brand promises without bitterness. Quite appreciable when you know the sometimes very pronounced character of matcha!
Firmer skin and reduced wrinkles: the promise that makes you want
This is obviously the part that interests us the most. Combeau highlights an improvement in the firmness, elasticity and hydration of the skin. The brand also mentions a reduction in the depth of wrinkles after several weeks. Encouraging results, even if the data does not confirm the effectiveness of this specific formula in everyone.
And in terms of use? Nothing too complicated. Pour a stick of matcha collagen into hot or cold milk, mix and it’s ready. A little splash of the frother to get that creamy texture that we love, and there you have it! Combeau recommends taking it daily for three months. Be careful though, the formula contains fish and caffeine. It is therefore not suitable for everyone, especially pregnant or breastfeeding women.
What are the benefits of Combeau matcha collagen?
Combeau Matcha Collagen combines marine collagen peptides with organic Japanese matcha. Its formula mainly targets hydration, elasticity, firmness and radiance of the skin. Matcha also provides antioxidants and caffeine.
How long does it take to see the effects of collagen on the skin?
Studies on oral collagen generally evaluate its effects after several weeks of regular intake. Combeau mentions results on firmness after a few weeks and on wrinkles after three months. The effects vary depending on the person.
How to prepare Combeau matcha collagen?
Simply dilute one stick per day in milk, vegetable or not, hot or cold. A frother allows you to obtain a more homogeneous texture, matcha latte style. However, the brand does not recommend consuming it on an empty stomach.
