GOLD COLLAGEN Hydra Essence - Daily Moisture, Hyaluronic Acid Serum for Face & Neck, Repairing & Plumping Effect for Smoother Skin - Face Serum for Skincare, Helps Reduce Fine Lines & Wrinkles, 30 ml

What drew me in most was the eight times Hyaluronic Acid in the formula. From my knowledge, usually when brands state a count of how much Hyaluronic Acid is included in three formula I've known this to mean molecular size. So there should be 8 different molecular sizes of Hyaluronic Acid in this formula if I'm not mistaken.Why is this exciting? Because that means you're dispersing the Hyaluronic Acid through multiple layers of depth in the skin. The larger molecules will lay on the surface whereas smaller will travel deeper into the skin (aka epidermis) to do is thing. This sort of broad range of Hyaluronic Acid isn't common and isn't cheap. You normally only find this with more premium skincare on the market.I like the inclusion of simple ingredients like panthenol (vitamin B5) and Allantoin. Allantoin is a skin soother if I recall correctly and can soften the skin while reducing irritation if memory serves. Panthenol helps to repair which is great for the skin barrier and actually pretty important. Your skin won't hold onto hydration very well if the skin barrier is compromised.I've enjoyed using this serum and the ingredients don't surprise me. While the serum is fairly pricy I think the formula with so much Hyaluronic Acid is good value. I'd recommend this for people that need that extra dose of hydration in their routine. I have oily combo dehydrated skin so this fits nicely in mine. There is fragrance in here so if you are sensitive to fragrances you may want to proceed with caution, otherwise you're fine x

It’s a decent enough serum, with hyaluronic acid, the buzzword in skincare now. But when you look at the list of ingredients, there are a lot of other chemicals and polymers, mostly man made - and hyaluronic acid comes pretty low down the list. Oh and it’s got parfum in it, which is very drying and not really necessary. I’d have liked to see a richer, more viscous serum really - this is quite thin in texture and even after a week or so of using it every single night, it hasn’t made a noticeable difference to the feel of my skin. I don’t get that dewy feeling overnight. Nicely presented, so it looks high end, in a glass dropper bottle, but I’m afraid I find it rather too expensive for what it is.

Unfortunately I'm not impressed with this one.I've been using it daily for a week and there is absolutely no change to my skin at all. It neither feels nor looks more hydratedI use hyaluronic acid products all the time and I've tried many brands over the years. Some are good and some not so good. Sadly I have to place this one in the latter catagory.The serum is very thin and absorbs immediately. It's like putting water on my face. There is no difference to the feel or look of my skin after application or a week later.The packaging is lovely and the bottle looks expensive but it's what the contents inside can do that counts and unfortunately I'm not experiencing much at all.Personally I think it's way over priced.

There are an enormous number of these kinds of products, usually claiming all manner of magical effects, the reality often, these claims just don’t bear scrutiny. This was obtained for my daughter who is a nurse, so likes to pamper when she’s able (not working long shifts!) The product description states: “This helps to provide maximum and long lasting hydration in deeper layers of the skin while helping to improve skin elasticity, plumpness and radiance throughout the day.”The product is attractively packaged, and has a really nice bottle that looks premium, and with a premium price to match……Unfortunately, premium it isn’t, it most definitely is not a premium product (compared to other well- known premium brands). The manufacturer claims this to be ultra-hydrating, but in fact if felt quite the opposite, leaving her skin feeling very dry, with a horrible sticky residue on the skin. You can feel the tightness from the hydronic acid, but is most definitely not a product my daughter would use or recommend, and this is meant to be a wear daily product! Unfortunately this has now been discarded…..Overall, this is, I would suggest one to avoid. If you’re going to spend this kind of money on a product of this type, you would be much better off spending your money on other well-known premium brands.I do hope you have found this review to be helpful!

I have to begin by saying that the packaging and the bottle I just love and feels like quality so I was hoping the serum would match… and for me, it certainly does 😊I don’t have sensitive skin, but I have vitiligo on my hands and recently started spreading to a small area on my forehead. There is nothing I can do about vitiligo but only help prevent it spreading. So, I do have to ensure I follow a carefully planned skincare routine and always use hydrating products which contain hyaluronic acid. However, it is only with this serum that I have massively noticed the dark puffy rings under my eyes have all but gone and I wasn’t specifically targeting this area because I use it primarily for hydration (of course which it gets to work as soon as its applied with my skin feeling refreshed with locked in moisture and fully hydrated).It is also brilliant at firming the loose skin in my neck area.I find this to be a light serum, it is a clear liquid & with the eye dropper the amount I use is always controlled and a little goes a long way. It feels a little sticky initially and after about 15 minutes it is fully absorbed with my skin feeling light, smooth, and refreshed.For long term this is my new go-to product and will be looking into their night renewal serum.Highly recommend – it works for me😊😊
