The ingestible beauty market has grown significantly in the UK over the past five years. Skinade and Lumity were among the first premium brands to credibly position oral supplementation as a genuine skincare alternative. Both have real customers with real results.
But the SRX Beauty Protocol was designed to do something neither of them does. This is a direct, factual comparison.
What Skinade does
Skinade is a liquid marine collagen drink delivering collagen peptides alongside Vitamin C, B vitamins, biotin and MSM. It is genuinely well-formulated for what it is: a collagen delivery system. Clinical studies support the bioavailability of its hydrolysed marine collagen, and many customers report visible improvements in skin hydration and firmness after consistent use.
What Skinade does not do: it does not target daytime cellular hydration through a therapeutic electrolyte system. It does not target overnight skin repair biology. It does not include the amino acid complex required for full collagen precursor delivery. It is a single-window formula in a one-window world.
What Lumity does
Lumity splits its formula across morning and evening soft gels — a genuine innovation when it launched. The morning formula focuses on energy support (omega-3, alpha-lipoic acid, ginseng, vitamins). The evening formula targets overnight repair with antioxidants, L-arginine and zinc.
What Lumity does not do: its morning formula does not deliver marine collagen or the cofactor ecosystem required for collagen synthesis activation. Its evening formula does not deliver the 34-ingredient overnight skin repair system that the cellular repair window demands. And neither formula contains the daytime cellular hydration component that Restore addresses.
What the SRX Beauty Protocol does — and why the distinction matters
The SRX Beauty Protocol was formulated by Saima Rashid, a Clinical Pharmacist with postgraduate qualifications in Skin Therapeutics, Medical Aesthetics and Women's Hormonal Health. That clinical specialism is not a brand story. It is the reason the protocol is built the way it is.
Three formulas. Three distinct biological windows:
Sculpt — Morning (collagen synthesis window)
Marine collagen peptides, algae-oil DHA, low-molecular-weight sodium hyaluronate, CoQ10, natural guarana for sustained energy, acerola Vitamin C (whole-food, not synthetic ascorbic acid), full B-vitamin complex, beta carotene, Vitamin K2, magnesium citrate, zinc citrate and a complete mineral complex.
The timing is deliberate. Collagen synthesis peaks in the morning alongside cortisol and metabolic activation. Taking collagen precursors in the morning is not conventional wisdom — it is biological accuracy.
Restore — Daytime (cellular hydration and collagen precursor delivery)
This formula has no equivalent on the market. A therapeutic electrolyte matrix — sodium 1,000mg, potassium chloride, calcium lactate, magnesium citrate — is used not to replace sweat but to open cellular transport channels. These channels are then used to deliver a complete collagen precursor amino acid complex: glycine, proline, lysine, arginine, citrulline and glutamine.
Arginine and citrulline together produce sustained nitric oxide — dilating peripheral blood vessels and ensuring the amino acids and electrolytes reach the dermal layer where collagen is synthesised. Glutamine maintains gut barrier integrity, protecting the absorption of everything above it.
Neither Skinade nor Lumity includes a daytime electrolyte-driven amino acid delivery system. This window is entirely unaddressed in both products.
Exude — Evening (overnight skin repair biology)
34 active ingredients targeting the 10pm to 2am repair window — the most intensive skin renewal cycle in your 24-hour biology. Marine collagen, DHA, sodium hyaluronate, CoQ10, quercetin (senescent cell clearance and anti-inflammatory support), magnesium citrate (GABA regulation for deep sleep and collagen hydroxylation), chamomile extract (apigenin binds GABA-A receptors, increasing slow-wave sleep duration), Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2, full B-vitamin complex, Vitamin C, copper bisglycinate (activates lysyl oxidase for collagen crosslinking), ferrous bisglycinate, manganese bisglycinate, selenium, chromium and further mineral cofactors.
Lumity's evening formula is 8 ingredients. Exude is 34. This is not a quantity comparison — it is a clinical systems design comparison. Each of those 34 ingredients serves a specific role in overnight repair biology that is absent from any other single-formula product.

Who the SRX Beauty Protocol is for
Women from their mid-30s onwards who have tried ingestible beauty products and seen partial results, or who are already spending on a collagen supplement, electrolyte product, sleep aid and vitamin complex separately — and want a pharmacist-designed system that makes those components work together.
Women who want the clinical credential behind the formula, not just the marketing around it.
The 60-day promise
Try the SRX Beauty Protocol for 60 days. If you do not see a meaningful difference in your skin, energy or sleep — Saima Rashid will personally review your protocol. Adjust or full refund. No forms. No questions.
