All about: BOOST LAB’s Essential Collagen Boosters

Skin feeling a little taxed after days by the pool and at the beach – and maybe a little too many flutes of NYE champagne? Never fear, because the skincare industry has created a multitude of cure-alls that range from masks and mega serums to at home LED, as well as one of the newest and buzziest skin health solutions on the block – freeze dried collagen.
Freeze drying is a fairly new practice in the beauty space, with brands like Saro de Rúe, OxygenCeuticals, ABI Dermaceuticals, and Acaderma just a few early adopters of the technology. Freeze-dried products are becoming increasingly popular as the process maximises the efficacy of active ingredients and allows the active ingredients to be more potent, making the product overall more effective. This occurs because during the freeze-drying process, the molecular weight of the ingredient decreases, which helps increase absorption through the skin. This allows freeze-dried formulas to deliver potent and more stable actives that give people better results, and we all want those amirite? From a sustainable viewpoint, freeze drying also helps extend shelf life by preserving powerful ingredients while eliminating fillers or unnecessary extras – and we’re all here for the planet in 2025.

Which brings me to a fresh new drop from Australian skincare brand BOOST LAB, which harnesses the power of freeze drying at a seriously great price point in the form of their Essential Collagen Boosters. It’s worth noting that these come in a seven pack that makes them perfect for a week-long skin treat after the silly season, although I put them into play in the lead up to Christmas when my skin wasn’t feeling its best and intervention was definitely called for. I paired them with the brand’s iconic 2D-Hyaluronic Hydro Boost Serum and was seriously impressed by plumped up glow they delivered.
Simple and easy to use, the Essential Collagen Boosters literally dissolve gently into your hand (super satisfying) and are formulated to be added to your favourite – preferably BOOST LAB -serum for an additional boost of the good stuff.
An immediate treatment for firmer skin, each freeze-dried pearl features a hero line up of ingredients such as Marine Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid, which work together to provide long lasting moisture and to help plump fine lines and smooth wrinkles.
And the results? A study in BOOST LAB’s home country of Australia saw 91% of users say their skin felt immediately tightened, 81% saying it felt more hydrated and no less than 79% report firmer-looking skin.
“At BOOST LAB, we’re passionate about bringing our community products that help enhance or establish an effective routine that they love, that actually works and that doesn't break the bank,” says Lisa Schweighoffer, BOOST LAB’s Co-Founder around the new release. “We’re so excited about our new Essential Collagen Boosters, because we know our customers will love the instant results and instant boost for their skin!”

Priced at $39.95 for a convenient seven-day pack and available online, Essential Collagen Boosters just may be what your post-holiday skin needs right now – and come highly recommended.
