Product Information

Here are 7 of our best collagen creams here at H&B that can help give you that glowing, youthful skin you’ve been lusting after. What is collagen? And Viscusi recommends prioritising peptides. "I find that peptides can sometimes be the way to go when it comes to a collagen cream," says Viscusi. "I also find collagen-based products with some form of delivery technology are more effective as they can moisturise deeper than other creams on the market. It; also important to look for a multipurpose collagen cream with additional ingredients that work to support collagen."

But that doesn’t mean it can’t respond to a little encouragement from creams like this pro-collagen formulation by Dr Organic. Peptides, however, are smaller fragments of proteins that can signal the skin to produce more collagen. They work by penetrating the skin and stimulating collagen production from within,” Sam explains. “This is better for a long-term approach than topical collagen, which may simply sit on the surface.” What is collagen made of and what's it good for? The hydrolysed collagen, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C work together to encourage cell turnover for more moisturised and plumped up skin. Collagen is having a moment. In case you've somehow missed the influencers, celebrities, and wellness brands raving about adding collagen powders to their smoothies or taking a supplement, the ingredient is praised for minimizing the signs of aging like wrinkles and loss of elasticity as well as promoting healthier hair.

That’s why collagen-boosting products often contain ingredients such as vitamin C or retinol, which either help to stimulate collagen production or stop it deteriorating. Peptides are another key ingredient to look out for, especially if your skin is too sensitive for retinol, which can cause irritation or redness for some. Peptides are smaller collagen molecules, making them easier for the skin to absorb. This intense overnight renewal cream contains marine collagen, hyaluronic acid, jojoba oil and vitamin A to promote healthy ageing and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Topical collagen is applied externally to the skin and is intended to supplement our natural collagen production,” explains aesthetician and skin specialist Sam Cinkir. I have never believed in under eye cream for dark circles. It shows that I've never bought the right one. Until now. This had made so much difference to my dark parts under my eyes. I find it better to put on with a cotton bud and after 30 seconds I can feel it tingling then the feeling goes away. This is the second product I am now using from Q+A Love them both.”

Top of that list is collagen, a protein that gives skin its structure and is essential for elasticity, helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and minimise sagging. Our skin naturally contains collagen, but from our mid-twenties onwards, the rate at which it’s produced slows down, as does its quality, leading to signs of ageing, from fine lines to loss of firmness. The combination of Dragon’s blood, hyaluronic acid, biotin and other organic ingredients help to increase hydration and promote smoother, firmer and more youthful skin.L'Occitane Almond Delicious Hands 75ml is the perfect everyday treatment for keeping hands healthy and hydrated from morning to night. With its non-greasy, lightweight texture, this hand and nail cream is the perfect all-rounder to prevent dryness and dehydration while protecting skin from environmental aggressors. After all, our hands have thin, elastic skin, so they tend to show signs of aging faster than other areas of the body—including the face. Not to mention, they take a beating on a daily basis from simple activities like washing them diligently and doing the dishes, as well as constant exposure to the elements (think: dry air, cold temperatures, harmful UV rays).
