I'm way too old to have it smooth out my skin after too many years in the sun, but I started taking it for the protein after spinal surgery, and still use it every day. I haven't lost hair, my nails are strong, and I'm doing fine. One of my favorite things about it is the paper packaging, which I see is difficult for some people with arthritis in their hands to deal with. I don't have that problem and I really applaud your lack of plastic. The earth and I thank you.

Started taking VP in my 50’s and with daily use it has made a huge difference in my skin. If I stop taking the collagen the elasticity in my skin is quite diminished. Tried many top rated brands of collagen but never the apparent results I get with VP.

I have been using this for 3 months now. As a conscious, non selfish human, I am greatly happy with new packaging. It was such a heart ache to get one more product that I use regularly and have a huge plastic packaging each time. I have no idea how people manage to mess the opening instructions up; brand has such a straight forward and clear instructions to open it up and once it’s open, you can just use it even easier than the plastic one. Unbelievable to me that people asks for plastic one back just because they don’t want to put a little effort - like really little - to figure things out. No issue with using two hands because, come on, if you have both, you as well can take that 2 seconds to twist the lid of the plastic one. But I literally can open the paper one with my hand. I also don’t understand how this is harder to store as it’s literally the same size as the plastic one. I am super happy! Great brand move towards conscious consumption. BUT I also have some concerns and as a non-long term purchaser I am a little lost; I wish to get some support on this point. This is my second package. First one was the plastic one and the color was slightly clearer. And when mixed with hot water and whisked, it would become transparent. And would not smell or taste. This time it has more yellowish color, it smells - and changes the taste of my coffee while still being unflavored - and when I whisk, it’s not transparent, it looks milky. So as a fan of transparency and scientific responses, I’d love to know why all these things are different in this product. I literally feel like I am making my coffee with bone broth. Not cool. And doubt will continue to buy despite good results cause it’s incredibly unpleasant.

I've been using for years now and think it does help. But, I had to leave this review and take off a star for the ridiculously terrible new packaging. A thin waterproof plastic bag, i.e. what coffee comes in, would be infinitely better than this cardboard junk that's neither openable, waterproof, nor reusable. And, it's a LOT of cardboard.

I have been using this for years. I could handle not including the scoop anymore however, I could not open the container this time. Arthritic fingers and thumbs cannot pull the tab. Thank goodness I had the last container! Got the top open, aggressively with scissors, and poured it all into there.

I absolutely love this product. I have slow growing hair and nails. My hair is very fine and thin nails.Since I started using this my hair is growing faster and it's thicker. My nails are also growing faster and are a little stronger. My skin has improved also. I've only use 1 container so far. I am so excited about how everything is going to be once I've used it longer. I haven't had a problem with the container but the instructions on how to open it could have been better. I like the fact that it's paper less plastic the better. I am however going to purchase a glass container to store it in now that I'm sure that it will be something I will continue to use. What would be nice is if they did a special and it came with a reusable glass storage container for reuse. Crazy all the people complaining about the package when they could have saved the old one they liked and reuse it.

I have no problem at all opening the new container (it helps to read the directions FIRST) and I kept the scooper from the former container. Love this product and it seems to have helped my bone density in the past year that I've been using it. I stock up anytime it is on sale.

Flavorless in my coffee and my fingernails nails are stronger than ever!

I like this product because I’m helping my body by adding collagen and you don’t even taste it.

Best Collagen Peptides powder I have ever taken. I used to have aching joints. Not any more.
