"Top 3 Best Selling Collagen Creams Finally Reviewed by Customers"
If you're tired of all of the different choices when it comes to collagen creams then you've come to the right place. Here you'll find the 3 hottest selling collagen creams and what people think about them.
1. Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream
A little high on the price point when compared to other collagen creams but consider all of the $30 tubes of cream you've bought and thrown it. This just might be the collagen cream you've been looking for.
I had used several LaTherapie products before, and this was my first Elemis purchase. A little goes a long way with this cream. The tub should last a long time, which will give you your money's worth. I only have to use a "pea-sized" amount to get full coverage. The cream is lightweight and does not leave a greasy feel.
It really takes care of those fine lines as well as smoothing my skin. After using this cream, I plan to purchase other products in the Elemis line. It really is a high quality product that is worth the money, and also a great opportunity to pamper yourself.
I am now 42 and had horrible acne as a teen, thus I have large pores, uneven texture, acne scars and now lovely wrinkles are forming. I work for a cruise line so travel alot and like to get a facial at some point. Our spas use Elemis products but I've always been hesitant to spend this much on a cream.
However, during my last cruise the gal told me my skin produces plenty of oil but is horrendously dehydrated which makes putting on makeup a nightmare for me unless I use a moisturizer and I don't like any of them under my makeup because my foundation slides off or just sticks like paste. Well, I bit the bullet this last time and my skin was like a thirsty camel with this stuff .... it absorbs beautifully, it feels velvety, smooth, supple and I personally adore the smell.
AND I CAN USE IT UNDER MY FOUNDATION!
It is an amazing mixture and your skin will drink it in. Don't know about true anti-aging benefits but it has calmed my skin down and I will update you all if/when I see a difference in the wrinkles. Also.... keep in mind this IS expensive but considering the multiple bottles of $20-$30 creams I have tried and thrown out, this more than makes up for it. And a little does go a very long way. I expect this jar to last me a long time. It really feels pampering and great when you put it on. A must-try.... try a sample and see for yourself. Highly recommended!
2. Pevonia Botanica Age-Defying Marine Collagen Cream
The collagen cream from Pevonia fuses hyaluronic acid with Marine Collagen.
This is very moisturizing and actually feels a little greasy going on, but absorbs well. It has reduced dryness in my skin, and it makes my skin appear a little plumper.
I am in my 30's with dry, sensitive, sun-damaged skin. I have had no problems with breaking out, which happens with some products. It has a light, floral scent. I don't like the heavy, glass container it comes in. I prefer something more travel-friendly. I would buy this again. It has good ingredients and does a good job moisturizing.
I use this during the day as it has Titanium Dioxide with makeup or another sunscreen on top. I have had no bad reactions from this at all...just a wonderful moisturizer. I have used Pevonia for over a month now and am really seeing results with my fine lines and dehydration - and
I've tried Everything! high and low...this is a worderful natural brand with nice formulations without all the bad effects of 'natural' products ie-breakouts and sensitivities to the oils... Definately the brand for me for good!
3. Dr. Ci:Labo Super Moisture Aqua Collagen Gel
Lesser known the the other 2 brands is a collagen cream from Dr. Ci:Labo.
If you want to try the Dr. Ci:Labo products, this is a great place to start. The Aqua-Collagen-Gel penetrates deeply into the skin for superior hydration and healing. You can apply this to the entire face or areas you think need extra attention.
The beauty of this gel is that you can also use it for healing applications by mixing in any of your own essential oils. Hyaluronic Acid is the secret ingredient in this cooling gel and it also contains Aloe, Lobata Root Extract, Flower Extracts, Grape Leave Extract, Sea Salt and Horse Chestnut. After trying this gel, this is one product you won't want to live without, especially in the winter. The face washes are very soothing and deep cleansing.
This is my 4th bottle and I am always happy with it. I have super sensitive skin and went through different moisturizer to finally find some that I was able to use.
Before this one I used the Estee Lauder Verite but with the price and the size, this was a better buy. I tried a little and after finding no reaction to the product, I've been using it ever since. You just need to apply a tiny amount since it spreads very well.
Now That You've Seen the Reviews, Let's Talk About How Collagen Cream Works
If you're anything like I am today, you're completely skeptical by now. All the claims that the makers of skin care products like collagen cream are making today can sometimes seem pretty outrageous.
Just “too many products, with so many promises” that it all just makes my head spin. The kicker is that just about all of them seem to want a small fortune for what ever it is that they are selling.
So I finally decided to get off my butt and do some research and you won't believe what I came up with after I started looking around and asking some questions.
People Have Been Getting Tricked for Thousands of Years
To start off, I found out that people have been getting led astray by false promises on skin care products for thousands of years. It even turns out that even “secret formulas” and so called special active ingredients are nothing new.
Would you believe that one of the RAREST and most sought after anti wrinkle treatments in ancient Rome was an alligator dung facial?? Perhaps this tid-bit of information will help you get over the time you tried something that didn't work. It could have been worse.
Now, On To Today's Collagen Cream
Are they what alligator poop was to the ancient Romans, only without the smell? Can they really work? What about clinical tests and scientific proof?
First, we have to look at collagen itself.
So Just What is Collagen Anyway?
For instance your joints, ligaments, cartilage and soft bone tissue contain a whole lot more percentage wise than your SKIN of this elastic and fibrous form of protein we call collagen.
In fact gelatin is made up of collagen that's been boiled out of the bones and cartilage of farm animals. So then what about the collagen cream that actually contains collagen? You guessed it! They basically contain gelatin!
Sound like a bit of a rip off? Well the truth is that collagen molecules are made up of long strings, so they can't pass through your skins outer surface anyway. Also your outer skin layer contains almost no collagen.
You see your skin is made up of “five lower layers” of dermis and “two outer layers” of epidermis. It's down in the lower LIVING tissues of the dermis where your collagen is produced and maintained.
It's Easier to Take Care of What You Already Have
It also turns out that just like so many other things in life, it's easier to take care of and maintain the collagen that you have than it is to make new collagen.
What I found out, is that it's just so important now to read the labels on the back side of collagen creams and learn to understand what the ingredients in them are and what they do.
For instance there are several different type of PEPTIDES that are commonly used in the most effective collagen creams. Peptides are a type of protein molecule that your body uses for building blocks. Peptides are good!
Keratin is another substance to look out for. KERATIN is made up of groups of peptides and once it gets below your skins surface, it's like food for the living skin cells that create collagen.
P.S. If you want to know what my personal favorite collagen cream is check out Pevonia's Marine Collagen Cream. You won't regret it.
