What We Do
Established in 2017, Absolute Collagen was created with one mission - to create a daily collagen supplement that allows both men & women to look and feel their absolute best. Now, six years later AC has evolved as the UK’s fastest growing collagen brand with an array of awards to its name. What started with just a signature collagen supplement has now led to a catalogue of products including our expertly formulated collagen-boosting Maxerum serum and our award-winning haircare range. Alongside the evolution of our products, also comes the evolution of our brand. The “Strong In Your Skin” campaign focuses on encouraging people to look and feel empowered in their own skin. We explore what it means to be strong in your own skin, through telling real stories of men and women who have championed and believed in Absolute Possibility. Whether this means being more confident, more fearless or just more open, Absolute Collagen believes that there is no better feeling than harnessing your strengths from the inside and out. From our co-founders Maxine and Darcy Laceby to our community of Absoluters, we believe that when you feel strong in yourself absolutely anything is possible. Absolute Collagen is a powerful liquid collagen supplement that provides your body with an abundance of benefits both internally & externally. In the arena of ingestible beauty products, collagen has long been recognised as the star player. Here at Absolute Collagen we have perfected the formula for a liquid collagen supplement that will help you look and feel your absolute best. Absolute Collagen’s unique anti-ageing formula provides you with the highest concentrated dose of 8000mg of premium hydrolyzed marine collagen in the most convenient way. It is also infused with Vitamin C and protein which works synergistically with the collagen for optimum skin rejuvenation and tissue renewal. Taking Absolute Collagen as your daily supplement ensures to give you the best benefits possible.
