The benefits of multivitamins are many. You might take one to balance nutritional gaps, support immune function, or even boost your energy. But have you considered taking one for better skin? Olivia Boyd-Smith, founder of Australia’s leading ingestible brand Par Olive, has—and she has bottled it in her label’s new Advanced Skin Multivitamin, available to shop exclusively for Vogue readers today for 24 hours.
“I wanted to create the retinol of ingestible skin care” and address the root signs of skin aging, Boyd-Smith tells Vogue. That includes the cumulative effect of oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, collagen depletion, and a gradual decline in cellular resilience, according to aesthetic doctor and Par Olive medical director Joseph Hkeik. To address these factors, he thinks of skin health holistically: skin care, relaxation, and nutrition—three pillars around which Advanced Skin is formulated.

Why We Love It: For its multivitamin, Par Olive aims to address signs of skin aging with a blend of nine clinically dosed antioxidants, including resveratrol, vitamin C, glutathione, and zinc. Just two capsules per day can illuminate one’s complexion, boost elasticity, reduce inflammation, and support cellular renewal. “We created this for people who are intentional about their skin and understand that prevention is the most intelligent approach to optimal skin health and longevity,” says Boyd-Smith.Key Ingredients: Resveratrol, vitamin C, astaxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, glutathione, nicotinamide, riboflavin, zincDosage: Two capsules daily with food
Nine master antioxidants were selected to work together, with each supporting a different aspect of skin function, from protecting against daily oxidative stress to reinforcing skin-barrier integrity and cellular repair. “Resveratrol combats oxidative stress, astaxanthin preserves elasticity, vitamin C brightens, glutathione neutralizes free radicals, lutein and zeaxanthin enhance radiance, nicotinamide supports barrier integrity, and zinc balances skin clarity,” Boyd-Smith explains. Each was chosen in collaboration with global skin doctors and longevity experts, clinically dosed, and developed under Australia’s rigorous TGA supplement regulation standards to support cellular renewal, refine texture, restore luminosity, and strengthen resilience.

“When [these ingredients are] combined, they create a more complete internal foundation for skin health,” Dr. Hkeik continues. “This allows the skin to function more efficiently, recover better from stress, and maintain its structure over time, which in turn supports and enhances everything we do externally through skin care and treatments.” He emphasizes that because the traditional multivitamin is formulated for overall health, it contains ingredients at lower doses, which often limits their relevance to skin function. The Advanced Skin Multivitamin takes the opposite approach, keeping the complexion as the primary focus. “From a medical perspective, this level of focus matters,” he says. “It allows the formula to support skin health in a meaningful way, rather than simply adding to a general supplement routine.”
Dosage is just two capsules per day taken with food, consistently. “Instead of juggling multiple skin supplements, this single capsule delivers everything the skin needs internally,” says Boyd-Smith, who recommends pairing the multivitamin with Par Olive’s Marine Collagen Superpowder for additional skin structural support. (Research behind the skin benefits of collagen supplementation, a structural protein already found in the body, is plenty.)
