5 Reasons Pills and Powders Fall Short — And Why More Women Are Turning to Oral Strips

By Dermatologist, Ryan Follis

1. The Problem Was Never Collagen — It Was What Happened to It After You Took It

If you’ve tried collagen before and felt nothing changed in your skin, you’re not alone.

Most women didn’t “fail” collagen — they were unknowingly taking it in a way that gave it very little chance to work.

That’s why so many people saw stronger nails or joints… but nothing in the mirror.

2. Most Collagen Can't Reach Your System in a Meaningful Way

Traditional collagen powders and pills have to survive digestion before your body can even use them.

By the time they’re broken down, very little is left that can actually support skin firmness or elasticity.

This explains why patience didn’t help — and why “taking more” rarely changed the outcome.

3. Why Delivery Matters More Than the Brand or the Dose

At this stage, it’s not about finding a better collagen — it’s about getting collagen to your body in a way it can actually use.

When delivery improves, collagen stops feeling like a gamble and starts feeling logical.

This is the shift most women were never shown.

4. Bypassing Harsh Digestion Gives Collagen The Ability to Make a Difference

When collagen can be absorbed without fighting stomach acid and breakdown, more of it stays intact long enough to be useful.

You don’t need to understand the science — you just need to feel that this explanation finally clicks.

For many women, this is the first time collagen has actually made sense.

5. This Isn’t About Looking Younger — It’s About Looking Like Yourself Again

With a solution you system actually receives...

Most women aren’t chasing perfection.

They just don’t want to look tired, worn down, or older than they feel inside.

When something finally feels different — not louder, not flashier, just smarter — it becomes easier to try again without feeling foolish.
