Feel Watermelon Collagen Gels review


As a girlie who's always keeping an eye out for effective, ethical beauty switches, I was intrigued when I came across Feel's Pro Collagen Gels. Feel is a female wellness brand who specialise in science-backed and vegan supplements. I’ve known about their collagen range for a while and have always been intrigued, so when the brand reached out to me to see if I’d be interested in trying them in exchange for a review, I thought, why not? This supplement promises to deliver all the benefits of collagen without any animal-derived ingredients. After giving it a try for two months, I'm ready to share my thoughts. Read on for a full review and a cheeky discount code!

What is ‘vegan collagen’? 

First off, let's talk about how someone who follows a plant-based diet like myself can consume collagen. Unlike traditional collagen supplements from marine or bovine sources (AKA from fish or cow), Feel's formula is entirely vegan.

Now, I’m no chemist, but essentially, their formula is designed to replicate human Type I collagen. Collagen is a protein made from amino acids, and the Feel Collagen Pro formula contains all 18 amino acids found in our bodies. This is especially great as getting all my amino acids in is really important for me as a plant-based girl.

The standout feature of their formula is its absorption rate. Feel claims their collagen absorbs 4 times better than animal-based alternatives, which is pretty impressive. This is thanks to its incredibly small molecule size. In practical terms, this means 1 gram of Feel Pro Collagen is equivalent to 4 grams of animal or marine collagen. For those of us conscious about both efficacy and ethics, this is a big win. It also shows that vegan products can often be just as effective, if not more effective, than the non-vegan version!


Does it actually work? 

So, Feel’s clinical studies found that users saw a 32.9% reduction in their fine lines and wrinkles over 28 days. The gels are said to increase collagen production by 135% and double it after just two days. This is because they contain fancy "inductors" helping to boost collagen production to this level in the form of Gotu Kola, Ginseng, and Vitamin C. They also contain antioxidants like Vitamin A and Vitamin E which tend to be beneficial for skin, hair and nails.

Whilst I’m not of the age range that has prominent wrinkles yet, and I can't personally verify the exact percentages, I have noticed some changes…


My results 

As mentioned, the three key areas collagen is said to help with is hair, skin & nails. After two months of daily use, the most noticeable difference for me has been in my nails. They feel stronger and seem less prone to tearing. Even when the mood strikes me and I feel the need to try to stress-bite my nails off, they’ve remained intact. Too strong for my own teeth!

As for my skin, it’s currently clear and less inflamed, although at my age (20s), it's harder to gauge improvements in elasticity. My skin also feels pretty hydrated, which is something I usually struggle to maintain over the summer months as it gets hotter in the UK. I'm very curious to see what longer-term use might reveal - especially when we head into colder months later in the year.

Around the time of starting the supplements, I actually had a balayage treatment done on my hair (AKA bleach to the ends to lighten and add body). My hair type is straight, fine and dehydrated, which means bleaching my hair really exacerbates these issues. I’ve noticed my hair significantly retains shine compared to previous times I’ve had a balayage treatment, suggesting it’s in a healthier state than before.


The taste & packaging

Let's talk about the practical aspects. The gels come in individual sachets, making them super convenient for travel or on-the-go use. You can choose between watermelon or cherry flavour, I went for watermelon. Taste-wise, they're... okay. Let's be honest, collagen supplements aren't known for their delicious flavour! But these are definitely tolerable and much better than some others I've tried and at least there’s no nasty fishy aftertaste that marine collagen is known for. I take mine followed by a big glass of water to make sure I’m getting my daily water in as well.

One thing I do appreciate about Feel is that their packaging is 100% plastic-free and recyclable. Plus, the product is vegan, gluten-free, halal, kosher, non-GMO, and free from all 14 major allergens. For those with sensitivities or dietary restrictions, this is a huge plus.

It's also worth noting that Feel offers flexible delivery options with no long-term commitment, which is good if you wanted to try it out without feeling locked in to a long subscription. They recommend using it for at least 90 days to see noticeable results, so keep that in mind when considering making a purchase.




Final thoughts ↓
Overall, while it's hard to definitively prove all of Feel's claims without extensive testing, my experience with Pro Collagen Gels has been largely positive. The convenience, ethical production, and early signs of effectiveness make it a pretty compelling option in the world of collagen supplements.

These could definitely be worth the switch if you already take collagen supplements and want to opt for a more ethical, but just as effective option. Or if you’re new to the world of collagen products, I would recommend trying the Feel Pro Collagen Gels over traditional collagen products. Just remember, as with any supplement, it's best used as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
