Korean beauty, checked against its own label

What is really inside the bottle, which claims survive the ingredient panel, and what it actually costs you per day.

Three bottles of Gelagen Korean beauty gummies, full label in view
The one we keep coming back to

Gelagen is the Korean gummy whose label goes furthest

We read the panel on every Korean beauty gummy we could buy. Most hide behind a blend name. Gelagen names all five B-complex nutrients and the exact chemical form of each one, which is more than the rest of the shelf manages.

It is not perfect, and we say so on every page: it still does not print the milligram amounts. But between a label that tells you what you are swallowing and one that keeps it from you, the choice is not close.

  • 60 gummies, two a day, a 30-day bottle
  • Pectin-set, not gelatin, and the seller says so
  • 60 days to send it back

What we check on every product
The full labelEvery active ingredient, with its amount and its chemical form. Blend names without quantities do not pass.
Cost per dayCount per bottle divided by daily serving. It is the only price comparison that means anything.
Named sourcesNIH Office of Dietary Supplements fact sheets and peer-reviewed work cited by author, journal and PubMed number.
The real priceRead at the seller's own checkout, never from the landing page, because the two disagree more often than they agree.
