Can a vitamin drink REALLY be a miracle formula for your hair, skin AND nails? These real women added it to their morning routine for a month (and the results will surprise you!)
We are constantly bombarded with claims that slathering on creams, lotions and potions is the only way to look good.
However, in reality, work, family and, well, our wallets, often get in the way of the pain-staking pampering process.
But what if there's a way to help us get our glow back - without needing a personal spa at our service?
Starpowa, which boasts amazing reviews from Holland & Barrett customers, is a scientifically formulated blend of essential vitamins, key minerals, an organic compound and amino acids that are clinically proven to help transform your hair, skin and nails.
And the best bit? It takes up less than a minute of your day! We got three women to trial this convenient vitamin drink for just a month - but is it the miracle formula they have been looking for?
Starpowa story: Mia, 23, from Liverpool
Problem area: Hair
Mia had struggled with dry hair damaged from years of extensions, but found a solution in Starpowa, which made a dramatic difference to her hair's length and condition (pictured two months apart)
Alongside longer, stronger hair, Mia also found she felt more energised while taking the vitamin drink
Starpowa is a 14-day supply of perfectly blended vitamins in a tasty drink, and is packed with ingredients clinically proven to help your hair, skin and nails
'I've been wearing extensions for years which have made my hair very thin in the past - plus I've always had dry hair which needs a lot of conditioning,' Mia says.
'My main concern about my hair was that it wouldn’t grow after being damaged by wearing extensions for long periods, and I really wanted to regain that full healthy look that I used to have.
'I first saw Starpowa in Holland and Barrett, and I wanted to try a natural product that would help with my hair - but the fact it was 3 in 1 (skin, nails and hair) was what really appealed to me.
Starpowa has made a big difference to my confidence levels - Mia
'I started taking Starpowa sachets for two weeks and by the end of the second week I was already seeing a huge difference; my hair was a lot shinier, and healthy looking. After two months of using Starpowa my hair had grown 2 1/2 inches which is way more than I'd have expected usually.
'But it wasn't just my hair that I noticed a difference with - I felt more motivated and awake and simply felt a lot healthier, as well as seeing a physical difference. I knew it was working.
'All my friends said by the end they could see a massive difference in the length of my hair, and the way it was shining.
'Knowing my hair is much longer, and the fact I don't have to wear my hair up all the time has made a big difference to my confidence levels. People keep on telling me how good it looks. It really makes me want to keep using Starpowa as I know how much it's worked.
'I would highly recommend for people who struggle with hair growth and dull looking hair from heat damage in the past.'
Starpowa story: Ella, 22, from London
Problem area: Unpredictable skin
Model Ella Ross is also a huge fan of Starpowa, seeing a dramatic difference in her 'unpredictable' skin after taking the vitamin drink for a month
The beauty reveals that people keep complimenting her on her 'glowing' skin, and she has recommended Starpowa to her friends and family
'My main issue with my skin is its unpredictability. I'd wake up one day and it would be totally clear, the next I'd have a breakout. There was no rhyme or reason as to why!
'I decided to trial Starpowa after seeing it online. There wasn't any particular reason other than being a model, I wanted to always be able to have clear skin for work.
People keep telling me my skin looks glowing - it gives me so much confidence - Ella
'I started with a two-week supply and simply took the drink in the morning. By day 10 I started to see a little difference but after a month the change in how my skin looked and felt was huge.
'The benefit from taking Starpowa is that it's three-in-one, so helps my hair, skin and nails. My hair has grown so much in length and thickness.
'The great upside is that so many people have told me my skin is glowing in recent weeks, without me mentioning that I was taking a supplement for it. This has been a huge boost, and just knowing that I'm taking care of my skin in the best way gives me so much confidence.
'On top of that, knowing my skin looks great and people are noticing is amazing! I’ve already recommended Starpowa to loads of my friends and family.'

Starpowa story: Jess, 25, from Australia
Problem area: Nails
Jess struggled with dry nails and split cuticles before trying Starpowa for two weeks (before, left, after two weeks, right)
Jess found that the daily vitamin drink helped nourish her nails, increased her energy levels and left her skin clearer than before
'I've struggled to grow long, strong nails, as mine are prone to being dry. But my real bugbear were my cuticles, which were in bad condition and frequently split.
'I started looking around for something which helped tackle both issues - nail dryness and cuticles - and my friend mentioned that they had seen people talking about Starpowa on Instagram.
'I bought the 14 day drink sachets and decided to try it out; if there was no improvement there was no harm done.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone struggling with their nails - Jess
'I simply mixed up the berry flavoured drink and took it each morning - much like you do with Vitamin C fizzy capsules when you're tired. I didn't think much more about it until the end of the fortnight when I noticed there was a definite improvement.
'Not only were my nails looking in much better condition, but I had increased energy levels, my skin was relatively clear and, strangely, I had a slightly reduced appetite which was an unexpected bonus!
'My nails never made me self conscious but I'm pleased with the results and have shown them off to my friends.
'I would definitely recommend this product to people who struggle with dry, brittle nails or jagged cuticles or simply over-do the monthly gel polishes and need to give their nails a break.'
'What I've always found with my skin is that it's all over the place. Despite my skincare routine, which I stick to religiously, some days I will get small pimple breakouts - and others I'd get the occasional spot. This especially bothered me because I do a lot of beauty shoots for my career.
