Dr Lewinn's Ultra R4 Collagen Surge Plumping Gel

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 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.

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 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.

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.

I've never used Dr. Lewinn's product before so was really excited to give it a go. The packaging was lovely with a high-end design. The glass jar was a nice touch and I love how the spatula is rather weighty and a lovely design. The product itself I found gave me no benefit or noticeable reduction in my fine lines (I'm 42 btw). It definitely has a gel texture so you do need to wait for it to dry before applying makeup. I found the instruction vague - do I apply this as my moisturiser or prior. I found I did need to add moisturiser as my skin felt dry 30 minutes after application. The "pearl technology" I'm sorry was dumb, on a cold morning you needed to rub together in your hands to dissolve as I discovered they could just fall off during rubbing in, or worse, I discovered a pearl stuck on the side of my face later on. My husband referred to it reminding him of the Something about Mary film scene of the "gel" hanging from the ear. My final decider was over a 3-day test I used Aloe Vera on half my face and Dr Lewinn's R4 plumping gel on the other half. Guess what, the aloe had a visible better result!! This was also noticed by work colleagues. So to summarise sorry I will not bother again with this product.

This product is meant to do what it says! And to all my surprise and fear of trying out soft pearls, which I thought would not break when they come in contact with my skin, it has totally delivered. I want it more and more.

When I raised my hand up for this trial, I was keen to try Collagen pearls and Neodermyl and mostly how it would react on my skin. I had a thought of how Neodermyl as an invasive ingredient of Derma fillers, can be applied on top of the skin and expected to have similar if not same plumped skin.

The product packaging is simple like any good moisturizer/gel cream glass jar, except this one comes with a steel spatula to take the product out. Although I have used my hands to get the pearls out on my hand before I apply onto my face and neck. I have used the pearly pearls for 10 days now, both morning and before bed after cleaning my skin with my gel facewash and I feel so pumped and plumped up. I only take about 8-10 collagen pearls along with the plumping gel (make sure you take that along) in my hand palm, crush it with finger tips and apply to my cleansed face in circular motions(like you apply any other cream/gel). It serves the purpose of Serum for me in mornings, instantly hydrating and then I have my moisturizer sunblock to top it up. But During nights/before bed it is both serum gel and moisturizer for the skin to let soak and magically work when I sleep. I feel it works great alone as a package on my skin. I love it.

I am going to continue using it, and for its price and the results it delivers I will buy more. I have never tried Derma Fillers till date, and its a No Derma Fillers for me when I have this product. My skin is softer than ever, feel loved, plumped and confident with no dry patches at all. It stands tall on its words.

This is a real deal created with much thought to deliver results for skin success. I will totally share this love with my family and friends. Thanks Dr. Lewinn's for thinking about our skin and Ultra R4 Collagen Surge Plumping Gel creativity. Thanks BR for this Trial opportunity.

With winter well and truly here, my skin was in dire need of something extra to help brighten, smooth, and hydrate it, so I was very excited to trial this plumping gel.

Dr. Lewinn's product always look so lush and extravagant, and this was no exception and was a delight upon opening the box. Good clear instructions on both the box and the jar is appreciated so I can throw the box away if I wanted to.

I was expecting to see a smaller jar within excessive packaging as is often the case of specialized gels, but that wasn't the case here. Inside the packaging is a gorgeous little metal spatula which you can use instead of fingers to scoop out. I'd recommend using it rather than fingers also because it measures out the perfect amount of product to cover both face and neck.

The scent of the product is subtle and really lovely, and the gel glides on easily and evaporates into the skin without a sticky residue. Very luxurious. I wasn't a big fan of the plumping pearls themselves as they tended to drop off my face and into the basin rather than melt on contact as promised. I found it easier to apply to my fingertips and smear them on instead.

The end result is very pleasing from the first application, and each day, my skin seemed to have more vitality and freshness which I loved. I would definitely use this product again.

Love this product. I was a bit apprehensive that it not would live up to its promises but the before and after photos do not lie. Skin feels and looks tighter and my lines have minimized.The only thing negative is that I would rather it was in a lotion or similar rather than the balls, just for ease if applying. Will definitely be buying this again!!!

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.
