Dr Lewinn's Ultra R4 Collagen Surge Plumping Gel

This is genuinely the strangest and most fabulous product I think I've ever used!

Nothing in the name hints at what is inside - I was expecting a gel based lotion, maybe a thickish nightcream. Not even close. Picture pink caviar. That's what is inside.

Hundreds of small pearls of collagen, in a gooey gel. Using the provided scoop (nice touch by the way) you scoop a little out and then rub it on your face. I wasn't sure if I should smush the balls in my hand or direct on my face - almost 2 weeks in and I'm still not sure. I tend to do either, I don't think I have a particular preference and I don't think it matters.

It does take more effort than rubbing in a basic gel, but it absorbs quickly once smushed into your skin, and it doesnt leave any tackiness or residue behind.

I'd say within an hour my skin was noticeably smoother and softer...like baby smooth and baby soft. Over the last fortnight, with twice a day usage it continues to improve my skin. My skintone looks more even and my fine lines have been replumped.

Price wise it's pretty expensive BUT it is a quality product. So if it's in your budget I'd highly recommend this beauty!

I’ve tried Dr Lewinn's Ultra R4 Collagen Surge Plumping Gel for a week now and have been using it morning and night after cleansing. The product comes in a lovely jar with a wee metal spatula so you aren't sticking your fingers in it. The Gel smells beautiful, fresh and floral but not overpowering and the smell dissipates quickly. The Gel has these wee pink creamy collagen pearls that dissolve when rubbed on your skin. My skin felt wonderfully nourished after using it. I usually use a gel hyaluronic acid but it absorbs quickly into the skin but the Dr LeWinns makes my skin feel way more nourished. I still put my moisturiser on after using this as my skin is always thirsty but some days I don't need to. My skin is definitely more hydrated and plumper than normal so this product is perfect for my skin. My fine lines have disappeared for sure. I'd highly recommend this to anyone that's any age - I am 57.

It's not often I find a skincare product that has me saying "where and how much?" in a short span of time. To preface, although I don't have many fine lines or wrinkles, I do have some and I used those on my forehead and neck as the baseline to see what this product could do. In addition, I have oily sensitive skin that was looking a little tired and dull.

The lightly scented product is made up of milky pink pearls coated in a gel and comes with a small weighted spatula. I wasn't keen on the spatula because it's an additional step that just makes it inconvenient but I learned that I actually needed it.

It took me a few days to figure out which application worked best for me. Attempt 1 - Scooped small amount, placed / rubbed in palms then applied to face and neck (nope, wastage). Attempt 2 - Scooped small amount, placed in palm then painstakingly put the pearls in key areas then rubbed into skin (nope, depletion of patience guaranteed) and last attempt (and winner) - Scooped exact amount of pearls for one key area at a time, placed on skin then rubbed into skin (approximately 15 pearls in total). It sounds awfully precious but it's actually quick, no wastage and..the big price tag encouraged me!

The product is absorbed relatively quickly (<1 min) with no greasy residue which is important when it comes to my oily skin. It creates a lovely smooth canvas for makeup or just a natural healthy looking fresh face. Over the past few days, the fine lines have started to fade both on my forehead and neck so I'm very excited to see the results once I finished the product.

Ooooh Girrrrrl , my new daily staple!

Ok soooo at first when I finally got the foil seal off (that sucker was super stuck) I actually thought ew it’s like fish cavier pearls haha.

I’m extremely sensitive to fragrances, the gel pearls smell nice , kind of perfume like and I’m not a fan of that but it does disappear fast.

After cleansing and toning I scooped out a small amount that fits into the scoop type spoon that comes with and just went straight into rubbing it on my face . Oh hell no I’m never using this again . There sat that this , elegant packaged jar of pretty pearls on my vanity shelf for two days.

I decided to give it another go and this time I sandwiched my hands together until the pearls melted. Applied as per usual with my skincare routine, holy cow Batman! What is this genius stuff?!?!?

It melted into my skin!!! Like nothing I’ve ever used before. My Daughter asked me on day 6 , why is my skin glowing? She said it’s not fair how you have such nice skin . Wait what! The grumpy teen complemented my skin?!

Yes she did! My skin was actually glowing , I was asked by my clients what am I using because my skin looks luminous. Hmmm maybe I should bath in this stuff?

I really love the Jar colours , it’s super appealing and really to unscrew . I do have carpal tunnel in both so that’s always a bonus but getting the seal off was like wrestling with a toddler at nap time.

The gel once the pearls are melted is really soft ,silky and very hydrating . Twice per day , morning and night with your skincare routine . The hydration lasts all day!

I didn’t notice plumping , maybe after a month of use there might be , but the glow is 100% worth it! You won’t regret it! BUY IT

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 extremely excited to receive the Dr. Lewinn’s Ultra R4 Collagen Surge Plumping Gel as I haven't used any products in the Dr. Lewinn’s range before.

My first impression when opening the jar was that it looked similar to fish roe as the jar is filled with little pinkish white gel pearls. The jar also comes with a cute miniature metal spatula to scoop out the gel pearls. The directions advise you to use the spatula to scoop them out, or your fingertips if you’d prefer.

For my first attempt I tried using my fingertips and I scooped the gel pearls directly on to my face which didn’t quite go to plan. I lost a few gel pearls doing it that way. From then on I used the spatula and rubbed them into my palm a little bit before putting it on my face which seemed to work a lot better.

The gel pearls have a lovely fragrance and my skin felt silky smooth within minutes of putting it on. I can definitely feel an overall improvement in my skin, and my skin has a dewy look to it rather than the 'last week of school term' dull and tired look. I feel like I can see a slight improvement around my eyes and lips even though I’ve only used it for a couple of weeks. I’m quite excited to try using it for a couple of months to see if I can notice a more visible difference. I've been googling where to buy it and there seems to be quite a variation in price ($47-$85) so it is possible to buy it at a really reasonable price.

I would definitely recommend Dr Lewinn's Ultra R4 Collagen Surge Plumping Gel if you are concerned about fine lines, wrinkles or dull and tired skin. I'd also recommend it if you just want a lovely moisturising plumping gel as part of your skin care routine.

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.

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.

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!!!

It's soft, and silky, great texture and super easy to put on, doesn't make the skin feel dry or tight. Formula is non greasy and light. Been using it for about a week, and my skin looks subtle and less visible lines. Totally amazing product
