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 was super excited to try the Dr Lewinn's Collagen Surge Plumping gel. I loved the red and silver packaging and the claim that it instantly plumps and boosts. The inner packaging is sleek and the metal spoon (more on that later) gives the product an expensive feel. I'm in my late 30's so love the idea of a product that is the cosmetic alternative to dermal fillers.
This gel smells as I would expect a facial product that is more of a facial treatment rather than a natural or general moisturizer. It is a gel with little pearl-like balls which look amazing but I found could be a little messy and not designed for a quick application. The spoon was great for getting out the correct quantity of product but I was left wondering where to store it between applications. Other than being useful for getting the correct quantity of product I assume that it is good for hygiene reasons however when left in less than optimal conditions a clean finger would possibly be more hygienic. I left my spoon in the little plastic bag and used it about 50% of the time. This is a great gel to use if you want to have a pampering experience rather than a quick experience.
The first few times I applied the gel to my face I didn't rub it between my hands first which resulted in some of the pearls dropping or me having to really focus on what I was doing. I found that warming the gel between my hands first was the easiest way to apply the gel. My skin did feel plump and taunt and felt like it got a great much-needed boost of moisture. It sat well under my daily make-up however I did feel like I had more of a shine towards the end of the day than usual however this wasn't a major issue.
Long term I don't think I would rush out to buy this gel as there are other gels and creams better suited to me. In saying that, overall I did like this product and would recommend you try it if this is a product that you are interested in.
Tips: Rub gel between hands before applying for an easier mess-free application.
