Could a multivitamin be the game-changer your skincare routine has been missing? That’s the bold claim behind Par Olive’s new Advanced Skin Multivitamin, a product that’s turning heads in the beauty world. While most of us reach for multivitamins to fill nutritional gaps, boost energy, or support immunity, Par Olive’s founder, Olivia Boyd-Smith, had a different vision: to create the retinol of ingestible skincare. But here’s where it gets controversial—can a pill really rival the gold standard of topical skincare? Let’s dive in.
Boyd-Smith, the mastermind behind Australia’s leading ingestible brand, teamed up with aesthetic doctor and Par Olive medical director Dr. Joseph Hkeik to tackle skin aging at its roots. According to Dr. Hkeik, aging skin isn’t just about wrinkles—it’s the cumulative effect of oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, collagen loss, and declining cellular resilience. Their solution? A holistic approach that combines skincare, relaxation, and nutrition. Enter the Advanced Skin Multivitamin, now available exclusively to Vogue readers for 24 hours.
What makes this multivitamin stand out? It’s not just another supplement—it’s a carefully crafted blend of nine clinically dosed antioxidants designed to illuminate your complexion, boost elasticity, reduce inflammation, and support cellular renewal. Think of it as a powerhouse team: resveratrol fights oxidative stress, astaxanthin preserves elasticity, vitamin C brightens, and glutathione neutralizes free radicals. And this is the part most people miss—each ingredient was chosen in collaboration with global skin experts and developed under Australia’s strict TGA regulations, ensuring every capsule is packed with purpose.
But here’s the kicker: Dr. Hkeik argues that traditional multivitamins, while great for overall health, often fall short when it comes to skin-specific needs. The Advanced Skin Multivitamin flips the script, prioritizing complexion goals above all else. “From a medical perspective, this level of focus matters,” he says. “It’s not just another supplement—it’s a targeted solution for skin health.”
Is this the future of skincare, or just another trend? Boyd-Smith believes it’s the former. “We created this for people who understand that prevention is key to long-term skin health,” she explains. And while results aren’t instant—Dr. Hkeik notes that improvements in hydration, sensitivity, and resilience come first—consistent use leads to clearer, brighter, and more radiant skin over time. Pair it with Par Olive’s Marine Collagen Superpowder, and you’ve got a dynamic duo for skin that’s not just glowing, but thriving.
So, here’s the question: Are ingestible skincare products like Par Olive’s Advanced Skin Multivitamin the next big thing, or are they overhyped? Let us know in the comments—we’re all ears!
