The Nothora Pure Collagen Wand has been everywhere lately, on TikTok, Instagram, and even skincare Facebook groups. It promises to plump, firm, and smooth your skin using a one-step collagen formula that’s supposed to deliver instant radiance. As someone who’s tried way too many “miracle” skincare tools, I was curious but cautious. So, I ordered it, used it daily for two weeks, and here’s my honest review, no filters, no fluff.
What the Nothora Pure Collagen Wand Claims
According to the brand, the wand contains “pure collagen essence” that penetrates the skin to boost elasticity and reduce fine lines. It’s packaged like a sleek silver pen, easy to carry, and designed for one-step application, just twist, apply, and massage it into your skin.
They also claim that with consistent use, you’ll notice firmer skin, a more youthful glow, and smoother texture. Sounds perfect, right? Well… that’s where my mixed feelings come in.
My First Impressions
When I first unboxed the Nothora Collagen Wand, I loved how aesthetic it looked. It’s compact, hygienic, and the formula comes out smoothly. The texture feels silky and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. I used it mainly around my eyes, mouth, and forehead areas where I’ve started noticing fine lines.
For the first few days, I did notice a slight plumping effect. My skin felt hydrated and smooth immediately after application, kind of like a temporary filler or primer. It made makeup go on beautifully too.
But here’s the catch: the results didn’t seem to last. Once I stopped using it for two days, my skin looked just the same as before, soft, yes, but no lasting firmness or visible reduction in wrinkles.
The Science Behind It (And Why I Was Skeptical)
Here’s the thing: topical collagen can’t actually penetrate deep into your skin because collagen molecules are too large. Dermatologists have been saying this for years. So while the Nothora Wand may hydrate and temporarily tighten, it’s unlikely to rebuild collagen the way the marketing suggests.
I also did a little digging on the brand’s background. Their trust score is around 38/100, which is on the lower side for a company selling skincare devices. A few users online mentioned slow shipping, difficulty getting refunds, and unclear customer service responses.
What Other Users Are Saying
Reviews are mixed. Some people swear it gives their skin a “red carpet glow” before events, while others said it ran out too quickly, lasting barely a month with daily use. For the price (which is definitely on the higher end for a small wand), that’s disappointing.
One review even mentioned that the wand stopped dispensing serum after two weeks, which I can kind of relate to, it does feel like there’s not much product inside.
Price vs. Performance
The Nothora Pure Collagen Wand isn’t cheap, especially considering its short lifespan. For something marketed as a skincare breakthrough, I expected more visible, lasting results. While it’s nice for a temporary glow before makeup or a night out, I wouldn’t say it transforms the skin long-term.
If you’re looking for a collagen boost, you’d probably get better results with a collagen-boosting serum containing peptides or retinol rather than topical collagen itself.
Pros
- Sleek, portable design
- Hydrating and smooths skin instantly
- Feels luxurious to apply
- Great as a quick fix for dull skin
Cons
- Doesn’t actually rebuild collagen as claimed.
- Temporary results only
- Pricey for how much product you get
- Poor brand trust score and refund concerns
Conclusion
After testing it myself, I’d say the Nothora Pure Collagen Wand is more of a hydrating beauty tool than a true collagen-rebuilding treatment. It gives a short-term “glow-up” effect that’s nice before events, but don’t expect it to erase wrinkles or tighten skin permanently.
It’s pretty, convenient, and fun to use but in my honest opinion, it’s more of a luxury indulgence than a must-have skincare product.
If you’re considering buying it, just know what you’re paying for: a temporary glow, not a miracle wand.
