Hair growth collagen supplement shows ‘less hair loss after 10 days'
Shoppers are praising this daily collagen drink for the effect it has on hair growth and encouraging a healthy scalp, with 85% of testers reporting increased hair volume Hair thinning and hair loss are common beauty concerns, and can be caused by a number of reasons, from hormones to health issues. While if you're seriously concerned you should always speak to a doctor or trichologist, nowadays there are a number of easily accessible solutions that may work – including this drinkable collagen supplement with dozens of glowing reviews from customers. Shoppers are saying that Gold Collagen's Hairlift 'works wonders', with some noticing improvements in their hair's thickness in just days. This is thanks to a formula that contains 4,000mg of hydrolysed marine collagen – which many experts agree is the best form to take collagen – plus keratin, biotin and vitamin C, with Gold Collagen reporting visible results in as little as three weeks. A box of 10 bottles costs £42 but, as with most skincare and supplements, Gold Collagen recommends taking it for a month before you can expect to see results. A 30-day subscription costs usually £79.80 and works out much cheaper per bottle to buy them in this way, but there's currently 15% off added at the checkout, bringing it down to £67.83 per month (your subscription can also be paused or cancelled at any time). One shopper commented not only on the results but also on the taste, writing: "Gold collagen Hairlift taste so great. I can see the difference in my hairline already just after 1 month's use. Great product!" Another wrote about even speedier results: "I recently tried out Hairlift. I was surprised to see less hair loss just after a 10 day treatment. I am off to by my next one." "I definitely saw an improvement in my hair growth," a third person agreed. "Within a few weeks I saw sprouts of new hair grow. My hair has been damaged from bleach usage so I am now trying to regrow it. My nails are also stronger." One person, however, advised that results might not always be so quick: "The first 10 days I didn't notice anything, " they wrote. "But I continued, driven more by the desire to take care of myself than by concrete expectations. Then, almost without realising it, I started to notice that there was less hair left in the comb. That when I washed them, they fell less. And that my scalp looked less sensitive, less 'tired'. After about a month, even the always-brittle nails looked stronger." If you don't like the taste of Hairlift or are looking for a slightly cheaper alternative, Viviscal is an option that's been tried-and-trusted by trichologists for years – and is currently half price on Lookfantastic, down from £56.99 to £28.50 for a month's supply. If your budget's even tighter, you might want to try these Biotin Hair Growth Vitamins from Amazon, which cost just £6.74 for a three-month supply. It also might be a good idea to amplify the effects from the outside too with one of the best hair growth serums. Champo Pitta Growth Serum, currently £46, comes highly rated, as does UKLASH Hair Growth Serum, £40.

Church & Dwight to Acquire Hand Sanitiser Brand Touchland for $700 Million
Church & Dwight, the personal care giant that owns drugstore mainstay brands like Viviscal, Batiste and Nair announced on Monday that it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire hand sanitiser brand Touchland for $700 million. A further earn-out contingent on Touchland's 2025 sales could take the total purchase price as high as $880 million. The acquisition follows Church & Dwight's purchase of acne sticker brand Hero Cosmetics for $630 million in 2022. Touchland's net sales for the 12 months leading up to March 31 were approximately $130 million, with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation of $55 million. The deal is expected to close in Church & Dwight's second quarter. Originally founded in 2010, Touchland has become a runaway hit with Gen-Z and Gen Alpha, thanks to its playful selection of distinctive slimline hand sanitisers with trending scents like peppermint mocha and vanilla blossom. In January, it debuted its first range of perfume mists, while its core range of sanitisers, $10, were created by perfumers at the famed fragrance company Givaudan, which also makes perfumes for Jean-Paul Gaultier and Diptyque. In a statement, Touchland's founder and chief executive Andrea Lisbona said net sales were expected to grow double digits for the next two years. Church & Dwight said Lisbona is expected to stay on, and that it intends to retain all current employees. Church & Dwight's chief executive Rick Dierker said the acquisition meets its long-standing criteria, which stipulates brands must be asset-light, growing, and either the number one or two brand in its category: it says Touchland is the number two hand sanitiser brand in the US. Church & Dwight's stock lifted 4 percent following the announcement.
