St Ives Timeless Skin Collagen Elastin Moisturizer Jar 283 g/10 oz

After reading an article that recommended using products containing collagen when you hit the 40+ age range, I stumbled upon this by chance.Having used far too many high end creams to mention that were less than useless, I was sceptical this would deliver for the price. The quote not to judge a book by its cover is never truer here as this moisturiser is an absolute winner all round.The tub is huge at 283g and is a salon professional size so it lasts for ages. The cream texture is medium, but soaks in to the skin easily with a fresh, not overpowering, fragrance. As the tub is so large I completely cover my face, neck and decollatage and it has benefited the whole area immensely.After the first use my skin felt awake and looked smooth. After a week I was so impressed with the results that I ditched my normal night cream to use it both night and morning. After two weeks I saw visible results in the overall quality and texture of my skin. It looked and felt plumper, smoother and clearer in tone. I've now been using it for over a month, night and morning, and will certainly continue to do so. However, make sure you invest in a good SPF if using this as a day moisturiser as there is no protection in the cream. I would recommend Clinique Super City Block SPF 40 to pop over the top, which is superb and also acts as a wonderful primer for make-up.As I'm 45 any help is a benefit against the ravages of time and I've recommended this to several of my girlfriends and colleagues.Amazon do a great three tub deal which I shall be investing in as I may give tubs to friends as gifts!

I have always valued my health and have tried to keep my body and mind in good shape. As far as my skin goes, I have endeavoured to look after it by limiting my exposure to the sun (wearing sunscreen when I do) I have never smoked, drink alcohol infrequently and eat plenty of natural low-fat food including lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. In addition, I have also regularly used a moisturiser but have never been totally happy with the brands I have chosen because of the downsides; outbreak of spots, too greasy, irritation to the skin, unappealing fragrance etc. So, I recently looked around at what else was available and came across the St Ives range of products and decided to give their Timeless Skin Moisturiser a go.I would not usually wax lyrical about a skin care product but thought I'd make an exception for this cream because it really is excellent. My wife and I have been using it for several months now - so I believe we are in a position to actually decide if we think this product lives up to the hype heaped upon it. In short, we have both found that this face moisturiser has indeed had positive effects upon our skin - and has definitely reduced those fine lines! It's also nice to see that this company doesn't try to deceive you by 'bulking up' the product with a thick-walled, hollow-bottomed jar - like many high-street brands. With St Ives, you get what you see - 283g of subtly fragranced cream in a sturdy but thin, flat-bottomed container. In my opinion, this is a super, inexpensive product which I can highly recommend. For 'all over' body protection, my wife and I use the St Ives Skin Renewing moisturiser which I will also be giving a 5 star review.

Fab for a budget moisturizer -First bought this after my old moisturizer ran out and my face and I'm on to my 3rd tub now (each tub lasts ~6months for me)Gave 4 stars because tbh the collagen boost is just a gimmick with the active ingredients in such small amounts right at the end of the ingredients list, but it works great as a daily/nightly moisturizer! The scent is also nice - there's definitely a hint of something there, but it isn't overpowering at all.I have oily dehydrated acne-prone skin, and this works great - I even seem to have fewer breakouts using this one than my old one.Absorbs nicely into the skin & leaves it feeling like skin - if you apply too much it does feel like you have a film of something on your skin, but hey that'd probably happen with any moisturizer.I've been using this with a hyaluronic acid underneath & they work great as a pair- I don't feel oily or like I have a layer of product on my skin. This seems to work really well in conjunction with other products - I use the Simple spf30 moisturizer over the top as a sunscreen and there is no pilling of product build up, and my makeup goes on easy peasy. Really can't fault it at this price.As an 'anti-aging' moisturizer: 4 starsAs a bog-standard moisturizer that lasts for ages: 5 starssssss

I have tried a lot of moisturisers on the market and this has to be my favourite so far.I do modelling as a full time profession so have to make sure my skin is looking exceptional continuously, therefore am quite religious about a thorough skincare routine and need a moisturiser which is going to work consistently for me.The tub is large which is a bonus because it is economic which is great for my thrifty tendencies. I believe I've had this a couple of months and it's still above half full.The aroma it emanates is pleasant and subtle and it has a cooling affect which physically wake up your face (great for first waking up)It's taken me a while to notice the affects it has directly on the appearance of the skin, but I have definitely noticed my overall skin is a lot smoother and healthier looking. People often comment more on my skin when I am using this product regularly so will definitely stick to this one.

It's not a bad cream. Alot for cheap price. But I find it misleading. If you're looking for anti ageing benefits then go elsewhere. Collagen sits on the skin so it's not really absorbing it. It was however keep your face hydrated so there's that. But the biggest issue is Triethanolamine in the product. I didn't know this when I bought it, because after a while I started getting a burning sensation while using this only to find it has an ingredient that causes inflammation for many people. So honestly there's better creams out there.
