Dr Lewinn's Ultra R4 Collagen Surge Plumping Gel

This has been my favourite trial to date..I absolutely love this product! Packaging is eye catching in Red with Silver foil detailing and the jar has the same look. Reading the information on the box it boasts that it "instantly plumps & keeps skin taut", "..restores moisture & boosts dull, tired skin" and "skin is left feeling supple & silky smooth after use". Directions are very simple, using the enclosed spatula or fingertips scoop a small amount of product onto hand and apply to face and neck after cleansing and toning. Anyways, finally getting to the juicy stuff..I wasn't expecting what I saw when I opened the jar! Which is silly because it describes it on the packaging.. The product itself is an almost clear gel with small baby pink pearls - totally unlike anything I've used before! The jar contains 30g of product which is actually a fair bit. The scent is lovely, a soft slightly floral/creamy fragrance. I grabbed the cute little spatula and scooped out 10 little pearls, put it on my hand and placed on my face - tried to smooth over my cheek first but the little pearls are tricky and just dropped off so crushed them on my palm and then placed over my skin. Consistency is creamy and felt decadent as I smoothed it over my face and neck. Skin instantly felt silky. The following morning I noticed my most prominent forehead line had a softer appearance and my skin felt silky and my skins overall appearance looked refreshed. After first use I'm an instant fan. The following evenings I used 8 pearls instead which was a perfect amount. Overall I've enjoyed using this product and loved seeing the results - my skins overall texture feels finer and looks refreshed like I've had a good facial. My makeup glides on smoother and looks better than it usually does after a long day. This is going to be a staple in my daily skincare routine from now on. At 39 years old my skin really needs a boost and this provides it. Have never used a Dr.Lewinns product before now and want to explore more in this range after this trial. So if anyone is considering giving it a go I highly recommend it!

I was very excited to try the Plumping Gel - I have definite fine lines and have been looking for a good collagen product. The gel is located in a really lovely looking pottle and has a gorgeous floral aroma. Inside are hundreds of little pink balls combined together by a thick liquid/gel. The product is supplied with a small metal spatula that can be used to remove the product from the pottle. I did have difficulty squashing the balls. Initially I tried to place them straight on my face and neck and move them around, expecting them to melt. I ended up with balls on the counter and floor! I then tried squashing them with my fingertips before placing them on my fact, but that still wasn't sufficient to avoid wastage. After a few days I started squashing them between the palms of my hand before transferring them to my face and this worked really well. I do believe the product "plumps" and fills in fine lines. I was really pleased with the way my skin looked when using the product. It took me a day or two to get used to a slight "taut" feeling, but then I actually began to enjoy it! I began the trial by using the gel morning and night. Unfortunately, I found the product quite drying for my skin and decided to try using it during the day only, reverting to my regular moisturiser at night. This reduced the dryness of my skin and I completed the rest of the trial in this manner. My skin is still drier than usual, but not significantly. I plan to continue using this product (once a day) but am not yet sure whether I will purchase a replacement once it is all used.

I am a woman of a certain age - I'm always looking for products to add to my skincare regime and by gosh have I found one!

The Ultra R4 Collagen Surge Plumping Gel comes in a nice pottle - its quite heavy and feels like its good quality. I love that this comes with a spatula as I hate sticking my fingers into products. Even the spatula feels heavy - it's class all of the way here!

This gel is actually tiny pearls in a gel. You essentially mix the pearls and put the product on your skin that way. I cant lie - its a strange product. But oh so fabulous.

It has a light and refreshing product with a subtle fragrance. It feels cool on the skin which I really enjoy.

Over the trial period I think my skin has improved, looking and feeling more smooth and firm. I think it's evened out the tone and texture and definitely has had a positive impact on my fine lines.

I totally recommend this product - and will be looking to repurchase it.

I thought it was quite gimmicky at first, but as soon as the little pearls are mashed into the gel base, it gives my skin this really smoothing and plumping effect. It does contain dimethicone so it gives you that smooth finish, but the moisturiser certainly provides moisture and hydration because my skin feels nice and plump and soft the morning after.

Upon opening the jar I thought it looked like it was crammed full of fish eggs!! Even though I'd seen photos of the 'pearls' I wasn't expecting them to be so....obvious!

First job was to get the little spatula off the lid and use it to scoop up some of the fish eggs. The spatula is a little fiddly. The packaging does suggest using fingers instead but I just can't make myself dive my fingers into the egg puddle!

Getting the right amount of eggs is a balancing act because a few go a long way! Initially I picked up too many but soon got it sussed. I wondered how the eggs were going to feel but as soon as they hit my skin is was like they melted. I was half expecting to find little pink egg skins all over my face but they just evaporated.

The gel (and eggs in their entirety) were absorbed super quickly into my skin. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a sign my skin is desperately thirsty! It didn't leave any greasiness or oiliness. I did have some occasional dry patches but they were very small and didn't last long.

Since using Dr Lewinn's Ultra R4 Collagen Surge Plumping Gel my skin definitely feels tighter and looks brighter. I'd say it is definitely worth looking into if you're looking for something to lift your skin tone and condition. Those little fish eggs do a little bit of magic it seems

I was very lucky to be selected to trial this product as I haven’t tried Dr. Lewinn’s products before but I have heard good things about them. Thanks Beauty Review. The cream is in a glass container and is accompanied with a metal spatula that makes all look elegant. So you can use your fingers or the spatula to scoop the cream. The gel contains soft collagen pearls that gently melt and absorb on contact with the skin. It is like you are applying pink caviar into your skin (without the fish smell). I find it fun to apply the gel as you are squishing the pearls into your skin so it makes the job less boring. The product has a very light pleasant fragrance. I like that it gets absorbed very quickly and it doesn't leave a greasy feeling. I use the gel in the mornings and in the evenings. I didn’t see much of an improvement in my fine lines but my skin definitely looks better, it is not so dull looking and feels nice. I wish I had more time to test this product before writing my review so I can tell you if my lines disappear. I am planning to go on using it because I like how my skin feels and looks.

The box looks like a normal good quality beaty product box, but inside is a beautiful ombre pink and silver jar of loveliness. Very glad to see it also comes with a teeny spatula, helping keep any contanimates out of the jar. The product itself is reminiscent of cavier. Pale pink balls of goodness in a gel suspension all waiting to beautify your skin. A small scoop (really small) is enough. On first use, I thought it was going to be a bit greasy, when you apply it a first it feels quite oily, but within minutes that has gone and you are left with smooth silky feeling skin. It glides on beautifully, and waking up in the morning, my skin was still feeling great. I'm definitely sold on this one, it's my new favourite product.

The packaging is attractive and stands out because of the red and silver colours used. There is a little silver spoon tucked into the box to remove the plumping beads so hands don't contaminate the contents.

The light pink beads are soft and melt into the skin without too much pressure needed. A little bit goes along way with this product, can feel greasy for a while so need about 20-30 minutes before you can put makeup on. I did notice that after about an hour my skin needed a bit more moisturizer so it's have to put my normal moisturizer on.

But this product definitely does what it says it does. My skin felt plumper and my fine lines seemed to reduced as well. My skin felt firmer after the first application and my skin was really smooth. This gave my makeup a really nice start, and helped it stay on longer.

I have tested Dr Lewinn's Ultra R4 Collagen Surge Plumping Gel for under 2 weeks at the time of this review. I apply it in the morning and evening on my sensitive skin, which turns dry and red in the winter.

After application, on the first day, my skin felt well hydrated and smooth. It seemed to restore the moisture right away. It was a nice feeling.

The gel presents itself in small pink pearls, very soft and very light. I haven't found it very easy to apply at first as the pearls would "fell off" my face. I therefore decided to rub the pearls in my palms and then on my face and neck.

The gel smells fresh and invigorating. A small pea size is enough and I find that quite economical. However, the jar contains only 30ml and is therefore a bit more pricey than other products.

I really like how the pearls feel and would definitely recommend it to friends.

Dr. LeWinn’s Ultra R4 Collagen Surge Plumping Gel is fabulous!

The packaging is distinctive with it's red and silver branding, but surprisingly contains a plastic pot for a higher end product. It does come with a wee metal scoop which is a hygienic way to scoop out the product and limit the amount you use. 

Inside it contains a gorgeous light gel loaded with collagen pearls that left my skin feeling really revitalised and plump. I did struggle somewhat with the pearls - they do not dissolve readily and until I got used to using the product I was left with some still on my face or even falling off. But once you massage them in, the feeling is divine. 

The creamy gel is so thick and nourishing yet glides on easily. I think I was using far too much in the first week, but it is just so lush and feels great. I started using the spatula in the second week as the pot emptied out and it was trickier to scoop up the product with my fingers, and in fact I think it is better not to use so much, I still got the same effect on my skin using half the product. 

There is only a faint scent in this product, not one I would say is lovely but not too unpleasant either. It's more of a faint smell reminiscent of old lotions from your Nana's era ;)

With only two weeks to trial this product before the review was due, I used it morning and night, and feel like my skin is more smoothed out, supple and hydrated. I look forward to continued use to see how my skin improves further. 

Would definitely buy again as the product absolutely did what it said it would. This review only lost points due to the pearls being difficult to apply and the faint scent that was not especially appealing to me.
