PacificaHair Nirvanareview

A biotin-fueled gummy that feels like an also-ran compared to some other vegan beauty gummies out there

Overall

We love Pacifica's bath and skincare lines, but these gummies leave something to be desired.

Effectiveness

These didn't do much for us. Compared to the glory that is Hum's Hair Sweet Hair, or even collagen gummies, we didn't notice anything dramatic, despite the fact that they have 5,000 mg of biotin and a healthy dose of vitamins C & E.

Tastiness

The taste is fine, but these gummies have a weird white dust that gives them a chalky flavor, which makes them a little unappealing.

Bang For Buck

There's no bang, really, but these are an affordable, vegan, and accessible way to add some biotin in your diet.

We just want to say that we really love the idea of Pacifica. We like their body and skin care. Vegan, cruelty-free, gorgeous branding and great scents. And we like their supplement gummies. We just don’t love their supplement gummies.

They seem to work fine, but particularly when it comes to their beauty gummies, we haven’t noticed the va-va-voom results that we’ve gotten from other supplements. With the Hair Nirvana gummies, our hair didn’t get worse, but it didn’t fill out and grow as quickly as with HUM’s Hair Sweet Hair (also vegan, btw).

We’re a fan of the ingredients: Biotin, Vitamins C & E. And these gummies are definitely more affordable than some of the other hair growth supplements out there, so if you’re glamming on a budget, springing for these is the way to go.

Just maybe don’t expect dramatic results.

After decades of slathering Retin-A on our faces, the idea of a non-topical retinol blew our little minds! We didn’t know retinol could exist in gummy form! 🤯 But as soon as we heard about embody’s Retinol gummies, we knew it was a lifestyle choice for us. If you’re not familiar with retinol and its […]

Embody blew up the beauty scene with this strawberry gummy, bringing retinol to the masses in an accessible and ingestible form
Overall
We love the innovation behind this groundbreaking gummy. We have some qualms about whether or not this qualifies as vegetarian, but we are so excited a retinol gummy has entered the chat.
Effectiveness
Expect to get some smooth and dewy skin. This beauty gummy doesn't pack the same wallop that a collagen gummy does, but delivers the effectiveness of topical retinol without the pesky side effects.
Tastiness
Light, bright and fruity. This fresh berry flavor tastes as supple as your skin is gonna feel.
Bang For Buck
Retin-A and its topical brethren are pricey and often need a prescription. This gets you a dose affordably and deliciously. Maximum bang to buck ratio here, when compared to the alternatives.

The gummies that inspired this entire website. And they're still the only effective hair gummies we've ever found
Overall
Stopped our hair loss in its tracks. Only downside: If you color your hair, expect those roots to be coming in a little quicker than you’d like.
Effectiveness
Miracle workers, at least for us. These work better than other biotin gummies for hair growth: we suspect it has something to do with the addition of Fo-Ti and PABA.
Tastiness
Not the most original or interesting flavor, kind of an inoffensive, generic fruity candy.
Bang For Buck
A reasonable $26 for a month's supply, we consider these worth every penny.

These gummy rings are about as close to candy as you can get. Plus they make your nails strong and skin enviable? Yes, please. 🙋‍♀️ We are total stans of these delectable gums out here in the Galaxy.

Olly's candy-like peach rings bring the fun to beauty supplements, and they deliver like nobody's business
Overall
A delicious peach ring that looks and tastes like candy, but contains 2500 mg of bovine collagen for vibrant skin, strong nails and resilient hair. We're collagen junkies, and these are some of the best collagen gummies out there.
Effectiveness
Don't let the whimsical peach ring full you: these deliver all the nail strength and skin elasticity you would get from less delightful collagen products and it works. Noticable results within weeks.
Tastiness
These taste like the classic peach candy rings themselves. We took a point off for the weird chewiness that make these a little less pleasant to eat than other, smaller collagen gummies.
Bang For Buck
Olly is a wallet-friendly brand, so you can get the same effect as some of the fancier collagen supplements without the expense & with more fun.
