Has your beauty routine stopped being enough on its own?
Nails peel and break however carefully you file them, hair looks dull after a long winter, and skin that used to bounce back after a late night now looks tired by the afternoon. Creams and shampoo work on the surface, while the nutrients your hair, skin and nails need come from what you eat and drink.
The 5in1 Beauty Elixir is LR’s daily drinking shot for exactly this. LR splits its formula into two parts. The “active complex” contains collagen peptides, low-molecular hyaluronic acid, copper, zinc and nine vitamins: vitamins E and C, biotin, vitamin B6, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and vitamin B12 at 100% of the reference intake each, and vitamin A at 75%. A second group of ingredients adds 20% aloe vera gel, Red Orange Complex from blood oranges, blueberry extract and rhodiola extract.
It tastes fruity, comes as one 25 ml portion a day and contains no sweeteners, artificial colours, lactose or gluten. LR developed it with women in mind, and there is a men’s counterpart, the 5in1 Mens Shot.

What do people ask about it?
How long should I take it before I notice a difference?
LR does not give a time frame for the Elixir. Nails and hair grow slowly, so a routine like this is something you keep up for a while rather than judge after a week.
Is the Beauty Elixir only for women?
LR developed it with women in mind. The men’s counterpart is the 5in1 Mens Shot, which has a different mix of nutrients.
How much collagen does it contain?
Each 25 ml portion contains 2.5 g of collagen peptides, also called collagen hydrolysate. The vitamin C in it contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin.
