Sports Research® Phytoceramides 350mg w/Ceratiq®, 30 Softgels

First of all, I trust the Sports Research brand. I use their collagen peptide powder and krill oil. Secondly, Hot and Flashy Angie on YouTube recommended the Sports Research Phytoceramides, so I was intrigued, but since I have been taking hyalauronic acid for similar reasons, i.e., dry eyes and dry skin and hair, I figured the phytoceramides would not provide any more relief for my dry skin. Well, my dry skin, especially around my mouth and chin area has continued to get worse. For reference, I am a 54-year-old woman, postmenopausal x5 years, who uses tretinoin daily, and I am an avid runner/walker with exposure to the early morning cold temperatures. Last winter, the cold air and wind exposure resulted in very chapped and uncomfortable dry skin on my face and neck, and no topical cream, balm, or ointment seemed to help. Therefore, this October, I decided to try the phytoceramides. I have been taking this product for about 6 weeks, and, OMG, this supplement does WORK!!! I am so pleased with the soft and supple look to my facial skin, and, even better, my face feels comfortable - no more flakes; no more tightness; no more redness; no more angry-looking skin! I had to write a review because this supplement is so good and deserves the utmost praise! If anyone out there suffers from extremely dry skin, please try this product, but keep in mind that it will take a few weeks to notice improvement, so you will likely need to take a full bottle before you begin to reap the benefits, but the wait is so worth it, and with the Black Friday sale, you will be getting a steal of a deal! Bravo, Sports Research, Bravo! 👏 🙌 👏

I am a 26 year old woman who has had dry skin all her life. Growing up, I had chronic cystic acne. In college I decided to go on Accutane. While, the Accutane ridded me of the acne, it only made the dryness of my skin intensify. It was incredibly flaky and I had a lot of trouble wearing any face makeup (powders/foundations) as it would always look crusty and unnatural. To deal with this, I tried everything. LUSH moisturizers. Yeah, no. While they helped on a surface level, the moisture went away as soon as the cream dried up. I tried to drink more water and while I'll admit that it greatly helped, I'll also have to admit that I'm a serious coffee drinker and I'll never give up my java. Since coffee is a diuretic, it lead to my skin being more dry and I didn't really feel like drinking umpteen gallons of water a day to counter the effect. Yes, I know...kinda ridiculous, but the simple joy of coffee in the morning makes the mild dehydration all worth it to me. :) Anyways, on to the point - I came across this product and I can honestly say that within 2 months, I noticed a DRAMATIC difference. I no longer need to drench my skin in moisturizers every day because my skin honestly doesn't feel like it needs it. It feels plump and hydrated and my makeup now glides on without all the flaking and itchiness. Also, I'm only 26, so while I don't have serious wrinkles, I was developing the 11 lines between my brows. Whilst they annoyed me, I just accepted it. Well, I'm happy to say that they have become way less noticeable since I have been taking this product...I believe it has to do with the moisture filling in those creases. All in all, I'm very pleased with this product and have recommended it to all my friends. I get to have hydrated, nice skin while drinking my daily gallon of coffee. I guess sometimes in life, you DO get to have your cake and eat it too. ;)

I’m in my mid-forties and can’t do Botox (I get extreme bruising and swelling for weeks thanks to my medication) so I’ve had to pivot on how to address skin aging. A solid skincare routine, chemical peels and some proven supplements have really helped…and this one is AMAZING! I had been using a Nira Pro with amazing results around my eyes, but it literally stopped working 3 weeks after the warranty expired and within a month or two those dreaded crows feet started coming back full force. After a month of taking the recommended 1 capsule daily, this supplement has reduced them by 75-80%. I tell everyone around my age that Ceratiq WORKS SO WELL FOR CROWS FEET!!! I had purchased another brand (Life Extension), but Sports Research has the same stuff but is a much better deal. Pair this supplement with a high quality HA (hyaluronic acid) and you get a much more affordable Ritual dupe. Add collagen peptides (Sports Research makes an EXCELLENT vanilla flavor) and trust me, you will see a difference in about a month! I review products for Amazon through the Vine program- but not this one. I bought both Sports Research supplements with my own money. I am not a spokesperson nor do I earn commissions from the company… but I wish I was!

Thus far, I can't say that I've noticed a great deal of much but to be fair I'm not exactly certain what results I'm looking for as my skin is really great shape, healthy, glowing and radiant from eating right, getting plenty of hydration and rest and exercise. As we all know beauty comes from within, so doesn't matter too much what products you slater on your face. If you're not getting the nutrients from the inside out, none of the external stuff will really matter much. If it does make a difference, that's a plus but just think how much more of a difference would be made if eating right, drinking plenty of water and getting rest and exercise would boost that result! Something to think about, yeah? So with that said, for right now I'm not entirely sure I see much of a difference but I have only been taking the product since Nov. 1st 2016. I have just reordered a second time. I feel maybe after the second bottle I'll be better able to tell a difference. Oh! Wait! That's not true! I just was getting ready to get into shower and rubbed my hand across my chest and noticed how silky smooth my skin is. My skin all over is nice, moisturized but I never really noticed this particular 'softness' until recently now that I think about it. So yes, I have begun to notice a little difference! I always use coconut and olive oil after showering so my skin is nice. However, yes, I must say it's a bit nicer. So ladies, the facial, wrinkle aspect I can not really speak on because I don't have crows feet, fine lines or any of that. But as I just mentioned, for all over skin, I am beginning to notice a change. We'll know more after this second bottle. I will return and update. I know lots of people say they will and they rarely do but I will definitely update and also change my star rating to fit my findings. The holistic health, wellness and nutritionist in me must remind you though, radiant skin comes from within. So be sure to eat and hydrate for your health of your body, health of your skin, get some movement in your body (move that blood and circulation!), get enough rest and be at peace. Stress causes wrinkles! Until next I update, be well. UPDATE*** 12/30/16 I've just received my 3rd bottle of this stuff. I think we are definitely on to something here! My skin feels like silk, like baby skin it's so soft. Yes I use coconut oil to moisturize but I've used it to moisturized for years with it and it's always been soft, but not THIS soft! I'll be back next month to report my FINAL review. ***Update 2/6/17 I'm on my 4th bottle! I'll have more to say after this last one .

I just finished my first 30 day supply and although I was skeptical at first (even after reading many positive reviews), I am pleasantly surprised. Being from New England, especially during the winter months, I suffer from dry, itchy skin on my legs; bumpy, rough skin on my upper arms; and combination skin on my face, with a chronic dryness at the top of the bridge of my nose, in between my eyebrows. No matter how much I have moisturized in the past, it never made a significant difference. I honestly have to say that the significant improvement I see (and feel) in the condition of my skin is a direct result of taking these phytoceramides! My dry skin has significantly improved and overall, my skin appears more hydrated. When I received my first bottle of these phytoceramides from Amazon, there was an offer for a free bottle from the company that came along with it, too, which was awesome!!! Sports Research shipped the bottle promptly and it was totally free. I am hoping to see continued improvement in my skin as I go on to my second 30-day supply, but if there is no additional improvement, I will continue to purchase anyway, based on my first 30-day results! There were no side effects, either, except for feeling a tiny bit bloated, but the overall personal results I see and feel far outweigh that...LOL I am not on any other supplements or medication and my skincare routine has remained the same all winter long.

Easy to manage soft gels and a new addition to my supplement stack. Third party tested high quality ingredients make Sports Research my brand of choice.

Between my own purchase history and roommates buying them for me during their own orders, I've been semi-consistently taking this brand for officially ten years and.... I have thoughts. Several years ago, this company used to have a deal where if you buy a bottle, you'd simply go to the website and redeem another bottle for free, and it was great because that's how I could justify paying $16-20 for *30* pills. So when I found out that they no longer give you a free bottle, I thought, "ehhhh okay, yes, they're expensive but they work and my skin feels great." Like, the pills were great because after even a week you could see and *feel* the difference. if you skipped a day, you could almost see the effects pausing. After a month of use, your skin looked like you'd aged in reverse a bit. It was phenomenal. I've been slacking the last year or so because I had seen that there wasn't a noticeable difference even after two months of taking it. I didn't have that "omg ew look at my skin - wait, i haven't been taking these because i ran out, lemme go grab some now" urgency so I'd just forget. I figured all of this was me not hydrating enough or whatever. But after talking with another friend who's also using these and having similar effects both past and present, we think they've changed the formula or maybe changed where they source their materials. We're not seeing the impact we've seen in the past. 3 stars because these WERE amazing in the past. I'm sure the response is something like "we didn't change anything! as humans age, sometimes it takes a lot more to achieve the affects!" or some such. And that's not really my point, I don['t think? I'm just unsatisfied that a product I've had amazing results with before is failing.

I know I wrote a review about this product last year but I'm going to write another. I'm a 54 yr old with very dry skin and last year my daughter got married!!!! So before the wedding I was trying everything to get my skin in the best shape for her wedding and also the photo's. I came across this product and I love it so much. I saw a big difference not only with my wrinkles but my over all skin. I stopped taking it because I was lazy and was not keeping up with my everyday skincare and boy was I a mess. My legs where all dry and flakey and itchy so I reordered this product and my skin is thanking me so much. I know I see a lot of reviews from women who don't see any difference in there skin from useing this product it's not going to take your wrinkles away it helps soften your skin and makes it look amazing. I have been back on this product for 39 days now and the 11's on my forehead are not as noticeable. As long as they keep making this I'm useing it. I added a photo of me after 30 days of useing this my skin is glowing!!!!!!

This product contains Gelatin, which may or may not be Halal Label doesn’t show a Halal certificate

These actually work.. I had 2 wrinkle lines forming on my forehead. I was taking hyaluronic acid for 4months, but I didnt have major results. This winter, my skin became super dry and I was told by a dermatologist, I need ceramide creams. After searching ceramides, these popped up and I opted to try them, I find, it all starts on the inside! After 3 weeks, wrinkle line actually started to be less visible! I do wish they made a bigger supply, because the bottle gets thrown out. Great packaging as well. I recommend these to all my friends.

Je suis maintenant incapable de m'en passé ! C'est l'hiver, il fait très froid et ma peau devient extrêmement sèche et parfois ça craque. Étant donné que je suis trop paresseuse pour me crémer tous les jours , j'ai besoin d'un excellent hydratant. J'ai arrêté 3 semaines pour voir l'état de ma peau. Surtout mes jambes deviennent tellement sèches au touché mais au visuel aussi. J'ai l'air ratatinée ! 😁

The product came opened and was not possible to return it.

I was very disappointed the product received heated and show that the table melted
