Want smooth and wrinkle-free skin?<\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s going to cost you\u2026if you want instant results.<\/p>\n

Botox injections cost about \u00a3350 a pop and you need a new one every few months. Dermal fillers will cost you up to \u00a3300 a session. As with Botox, you have to go for regular sessions.<\/p>\n

But there is a much cheaper and effective alternative that doesn\u2019t have any risk of major side effects: collagen creams.<\/p>\n

Collagen creams will not get you results as quickly as a Botox injection but they make a big difference over time. You just have to be patient and consistent.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also essential that you select the right collagen cream. That\u2019s why I have written this buying guide with reviews of the best collagen creams you can buy.<\/p>\n

But first, a quick look at how these creams work and tips for buying the best collagen cream for your skin care needs.<\/p>\n

How Collagen creams work<\/h2>\n

Collagen is a structural protein that occurs naturally in the skin. It keeps your skin smooth, firm and supple.<\/p>\n

So if you already have it, why do you need more?<\/p>\n

The thing is, collagen doesn\u2019t remain in plenty throughout your life. As you age and expose your skin to the sun, the amount of collagen in your skin goes down.<\/p>\n

Your body also produces less and less of it.<\/p>\n

The aim of collagen creams is to slow down the loss of this \u2018youthfulness\u2019 protein and keep wrinkles off your skin for as long as possible.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to be honest with you here. There isn\u2019t a whole lot of scientific research to support the claim that collagen creams replace lost collagen in your skin.<\/p>\n

What they do is make sure you are not losing as much collagen. There\u2019s also some evidence that they do help the body make more collagen.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not just collagen doing all the work. These creams also come with a host of other ingredients like hyaluronic acid and natural oils that moisturize your skin, protect it against aging and make it glow.<\/p>\n

What to consider when buying a Collagen cream<\/h2>\n

Like any other skincare products, always check the ingredients before buying especially if you have the kind of skin that breaks out easily.<\/p>\n

Different collagen creams come with different ingredients.<\/p>\n

Some boast of superfood ingredients like green tea and algae while other tout their natural plant extracts and rejuvenating oils.<\/p>\n

But just because the cream contains all these great ingredients doesn\u2019t mean it cannot affect your skin.<\/p>\n

Make sure you are not sensitive to any of the ingredients.<\/p>\n

Another reason to check the ingredients is to make sure the cream is the right one for your skin type.<\/p>\n

If you have dry skin, look for a collagen cream with an abundance of moisturising ingredients. If you have oily skin check that there aren\u2019t oily ingredients that could cause breakouts.<\/p>\n

Once you know which ingredients to watch out for, it\u2019s all about buying a product that\u2019s within your budget.<\/p>\n

The best Collagen cream reviews<\/h2>\n

Here are five that we think you\u2019ll love.<\/p>\n

1. Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream Ultra Rich, 50 ml<\/h3>\n<\/a>\n

Plant extracts? Sure.<\/p>\n

Vitamins and oils? Great.<\/p>\n

But marine ingredients?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry about weird fish parts in your cream. The Elemis Pro-collagen marine cream contains a well-known type of algae called Padina Pavonica<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This Mediterranean species provides deep moisturization that leaves your skin softer, smoother and brighter.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s especially helpful if you struggle with dry flaky skin.<\/p>\n

Another key ingredient in the cream is Ginkgo Biloba. The leaf extract is mostly known for its internal benefits \u2013 more energy, improved cognition, pain relief and so on.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s also great for your skin primarily because it\u2019s high in antioxidants. The antioxidants protect your skin from environmental stressors that cause aging and skin dulling.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also great for cleansing your skin and removing dead skin cells, excess oils and debris.<\/p>\n

Other ingredients include Shea butter, carrot root extract and lemon peel oil.<\/p>\n

The cream is not exactly cheap. It comes in a small 50ml tin.<\/p>\n

So a little goes a long way. The manufacture recommends using only a pea size amount every time you apply it.<\/p>\n

Let it warm up in your hands and then spread on your face and neck.<\/p>\n

Note: <\/strong>This product contains parfum. Find another cream if you are sensitive to synthetic fragrances or avoid applying it near your eyes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
