This section covers skin, hair and nails. It is split into Skincare and Anti-Aging, Hair Growth, and Nail and Toenail Fungus.We check collagen type and dose, biotin levels, active skincare ingredients and antifungal claims against published research. Side effects and refund terms are part of every review.High dose biotin can affect some lab tests, so tell your doctor if you take it. Ask before use if you are pregnant or take medication.Do hair, skin, and nail supplements work if you are not deficient?For most people who eat a varied diet, there is little evidence that biotin or collagen supplements improve hair, skin, or nails. A true deficiency is uncommon. High dose biotin can also interfere with some lab tests, so tell your doctor before blood work. Changes in hair or nails can signal other health problems worth checking.Source: Dietary Supplements, MedlinePlus
To get rid of dandruff, use a shampoo with zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, ketoconazole, salicylic acid or coal tar. Lather it into the scalp, leave it on for up to 5 to 10 minutes, and use it at least twice a week, then about once a week to keep flakes away. Ketoconazole has the strongest trial record. See a doctor if nothing changes in 2 to 4 weeks.
Collagen supplements show small gains in skin elasticity, hydration and wrinkles when all trials are pooled, but a 2025 review of 23 trials found no effect in studies without company funding. Short-term joint pain relief is possible, with very low quality evidence. Sunscreen and strength training have stronger support, and third-party testing matters more than marine or multi-type labels.
Pay for doses, not for adjectives.
We check whether a premium supplement earns its price: the label, every dose against the research, the cost per day and the refund terms. No star ratings, no fake testimonials, no paid placements.
