Skin Salt vs Perelel Cellular Hydration: Which Is Right for You?

Perelel's Cellular Hydration adds collagen peptides and hyaluronic acid, from a brand focused on women's life stages. Skin Salt protects the collagen and elastin you already have with DermaVal, clinically proven to halt the destruction of collagen by 72% and elastin by 98%,¹ in a vegan formula with four flavors in grab-and-go sticks.

Adding collagen vs protecting it

Around the age of 30, two enzymes, collagenase and elastase, begin breaking down the collagen and elastin that keep skin firm and smooth. Adding collagen is great, but it doesn't change the fact that your skin is under attack around the clock.

Skin Salt protects what you already have: DermaVal wraps collagen and elastin in invisible "bioshields" that help them defend against those enzymes. We love collagen too, but it mixes thick into water, and we wanted Skin Salt to be light, smooth and crisp.

What Skin Salt adds

• DermaVal (50mg), a patented superfood extract clinically proven to halt the destruction of collagen by 72% and elastin by 98%.¹
• Hyaluronic acid (40mg), a cellular sponge for moisture and radiance.
• Ceramides (5mg), which help fortify and rebuild your skin barrier.
• Vitamin C (18mg), which supports collagen synthesis.

Where Perelel shines

Perelel packs a large collagen dose, more hyaluronic acid and six electrolytes, and it's designed with pregnancy and postpartum in mind. But it comes in one flavor, scooped from a tub, isn't vegan, and doesn't protect the collagen your skin already has.

Taste and convenience

Perelel comes in one flavor, Mango Lemonade, mixed from a tub. Skin Salt comes in four flavors in single-serve sticks you can drop in any bag: Summer Peach, Passion Fruit Sunrise, Triple Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Spritz.

“I try every electrolyte product lol, I didn't expect Skin Salt would taste so good though, it's honestly the best one out there and that's before the skin benefits.”

The bottom line

Perelel adds collagen. Skin Salt protects it, with DermaVal clinically proven to protect your collagen and elastin up to 98%,¹ in a vegan formula, four flavors and easy sticks, at a lower price on your first box. Already taking collagen? Skin Salt adds the line of defense collagen alone can't.

Frequently asked questions

Can I take Skin Salt during pregnancy?

Skin Salt contains electrolytes, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and a collection of skin-supporting plant extracts called DermaVal. Each of these ingredients can support your body and skin during pregnancy, with no documented side effects. That said, we recommend that you talk to your healthcare provider before starting Skin Salt.

Can I use Skin Salt after menopause?

Yes. After menopause, collagenase and elastase activity may pick up, and those are the enzymes Skin Salt protects against.

Can I switch to Skin Salt?

Yes. Skin Salt has a balanced mix of sodium, potassium and magnesium, so it can replace your other electrolyte drinks. On your most active days, just add a second stick.
