In Kenya’s rapidly evolving beauty and wellness market, a new skincare trend is taking center stage — ingestible skincare. While topical products have long dominated the shelves, more dermatologists and skincare professionals are now recommending a combined inside-out approach. But what does that mean, and how can Kenyan consumers safely and effectively use supplements to improve skin health?
In this blog post, we explore the science behind ingestible skincare, its growing popularity in Kenya, and how clinically-backed options like Mesoestetic oral supplements, available at Allure, are redefining the way we treat common skin issues.
What is Ingestible Skincare?
Ingestible skincare refers to nutritional supplements designed to improve the skin’s appearance, texture, and resilience from within. These come in the form of capsules, powders, or liquids and are often packed with ingredients like collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamins, antioxidants, and probiotics.
The concept is simple: feed your skin the same way you feed your body. After all, your skin is your largest organ — and what you consume shows up on its surface.
Why Topicals Alone Aren’t Enough Anymore
While serums, creams, and toners play a vital role in barrier protection and hydration, they can only penetrate so deep. Most topicals work at the epidermal level, but ingestible skincare works on a cellular level — influencing collagen synthesis, hydration, and inflammation from the inside out.
This is especially relevant for issues like:
Acne-prone skin
Hyperpigmentation
Dry, flaky skin
Premature aging
Hormonal breakouts
The Science Behind Ingestible Skincare
Several studies back the efficacy of ingestible skincare:
A 2021 double-blind clinical trial published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found that women who took oral collagen peptides for 8 weeks showed a 20% improvement in skin elasticity and hydration.
Research in the Nutrients journal highlighted that oral antioxidants, particularly vitamin C, E, and zinc, significantly reduced signs of aging and protected skin from oxidative stress.
