St. Ives Collagen Elastin Face Moisturizer for Dry Skin, Paraben free and Non Comedogenic, 10 oz

I’ve been using this about a month so I wanted to give an honest review. I love this stuff. I have dry sensitive skin, in my 40s and needed something to moisturize deeply and help with aging skin. This does it all. My face is so so soft. My forehead lines are fading. The skin around my chin and eyes appear tighter. For the price, it’s much better than spending a fortune on high end facial creams. I will continue to order!

I’m so glad this product is still around. It was discontinued for a while and my whole family was really disappointed because we could not find anything quite like it. I grew up with my mother and grandmother using this moisturizer, and it is one I still tend to come back to myself. It is a great value for the size and has a very simple, non-sticky texture that absorbs nicely into the skin rather than sitting on top or feeling like it will sweat off later, which can happen with heavier creams. The scent is very mild and lotion-like, which makes it easy to layer with other fragrances without interfering. One of my favorite ways to use it is actually keeping it in the fridge and applying it after a shower in the summer, since it feels especially soothing when it is cold. Looking at the ingredient list, it is a fairly classic body lotion base built around mineral oil and emollients like glyceryl stearate, stearic acid, and dimethicone, which help lock in moisture and create that smooth skin feel. It also includes hydrolyzed collagen and hydrolyzed elastin, which sound impressive on the label, but in practice they mostly function as surface conditioning ingredients. They can help with softness and texture, but they do not meaningfully rebuild collagen or elastin in the skin. The real moisturizing work is still being done by the occlusive and emollient base. There is also a small amount of safflower seed oil for added nourishment, along with fragrance components that are pretty typical for a scented lotion. Overall it feels like a straightforward, reliable moisturizer that focuses more on hydration and barrier support than trendy skincare claims, and that is probably part of why it has stayed consistent over the years. Price at time of review: $7.29

This is a very nice cream. Gentle scent, gentle on skin and near eyes. Works as well as any face cream on the market without breaking the bank!

Really nice moisturizer and easily absorbed. Truly improved look of 67 year old crepey skin. Works best with smoothing lymphatic tools on face, legs and arms too will definitely buy again

Amazing product for such a low price point. I felt immediate results after just 1 day. Now after nearly 1 month of daily use, not only does my skin feel amazing, but it looks so healthy and hydrated all day long. My fine lines are less noticeable and my skin has a subtle glow. The moisturizer is not oily at all, absorbs quickly into my skin, and even after a month of use I barely made a dent in my container. I’ll be re-ordering this on repeat forever.

Genuinely the best moisturizer I've used/tried in a very long time. Super easy to use. It's not oily, not heavy, cooling, and it actually FEELS refreshing when applied. It absorbs nicely and I don't notice any particular fragrance after application. I sometimes struggle with acne, as well, and this moisturizer has seemed to help with my breakouts. My skin remains very clear with use.

I love this facial cream. This is my fourth purchase. I refrigerate mine. I love the feel on my face. It's moisturizing and it has a pretty light fragrance to it. I just like how my skin feels and it's super affordable. It's somewhere in the $5.00 to $7.00 price range. I have combination skin and have never broken out. I recommend this cream.

Just received it. I like the green like smell. I like the texture and the amount of heaviness. I love it is isn't greasy. However, I don't love the fact that it doesn't have an aluminum seal or a film sealing it to ensure it isn't tampered. Would love that the last ingredients of the cream, which are the most important ones, were reverted to the first listed ingredients on their list as it was before... I wouldn't care if the cream got more expensive, but with more collagen and elastine, I would also pay more. Update. This moisturizer doesn't work well under 30 spf mineral sunscreen. When I apply it, water is released from my face as sweat, when I don't apply it it isn't.

The seal was broken! How can I know now this is the real cream or a new product??

Love this moisturizer. Light feeling. Have bought a number of times.

This is now my favorite neck-chest and face moisturizer! It has a pleasant neutral fragrance, wipes on easily and isn't oily. A little seems to go a long way and the price is reasonable given these benefits. I apply it a little after a different product that contains Retinol. The combo noticeably diminished the appearance of neck wrinkles in just one and two weeks.

Ho acquistato questa crema viso perché ho visto il prezzo super vantaggioso. Arrivata anche un giorno prima rispetto a quello indicato, l'ho provata subito e devo dire che l'odore mi piace tantissimo, molto fresco ed estivo. Per quanto riguarda la qualità per ora è presto da recensire per bene, però posso dire che la uso io che ho una pelle abbastanza secca e me la idrata molto bene, la usa anche mia figlia che ha una pelle molto grassa e comunque non le si lucida subito il viso come con altre creme. si asssorbe subito ed ha una consistenza leggera quasi gel. Comunque SUPER CONSIGLIATA

I’ve been using this product for 12 years since i was 22 The formula has never changed, the packaging is the same It’s also very affordable and comes in a large size, It leaves the skin feeling incredibly soft and silky, especially on the face. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good moisturizer. I personally use it alongside CeraVe moisturizing cream I’ve ordered Phyto hair supplements along with COSRX Advanced Snail 96 and I’m really excited to try them together for hair and skin improvement😌
