Just came across this article about the wellness industry and it got me thinking about my collagen gummies. As a busy professional, I rely on these little chews to keep my skin looking decent. But the article raises a point about affordability. Are we just paying for hype? What do you all think?

I've been debating collagen gummies for a while, but my bank account cringes every time. I need my coffee, and those gummies are pricey. Do they even work? I've seen influencers rave, but I'm skeptical. Maybe I'll stick to my morning joe and hope it does something for my skin lol.

I'm a nature photographer, so I'm outside a lot. I've tried collagen gummies for a few months, and honestly, I saw a slight improvement in my skin's bounce? But I also drink tons of water and eat well. Could be placebo. But the cost adds up fast. I've switched to making my own bone broth - cheaper and no side effects! Just saying.

Haha IvyIron250, I feel you on the price! But maybe we can think of it as a self-care treat. TeaTina868, I bet your bone broth is amazing! I wish I had time to make that. Maybe I'll try a cheaper brand and see? Has anyone tried those?

I'm considering DIY too haha. But honestly, if my skin looks good after all that coffee and no sleep, I'll take it as a win. But I might just save my money for a good moisturizer instead. Let's be real, the gummies are pricey for what might be a sugar rush.
