FIRMx® Collagen Moisturizer

I decided to go on a stay-at-home skin care experiment. At 61 I have pretty good skin and never really believed that products made a real difference. I was wrong. After almost a year of trying different things and reading thousands of reviews, I found this product and I truly love it. I was surprised to see only two reviews here, and not many other reviews online, so I took a chance with almost no information. The reviews were not glowing. I am not an expert in any way, and this is my honest opinion. Reviewers did say that the texture of this cream is odd, and it is. It has sort of a gel consistency that feels almost greasy when applied. The first time I used it, I understood why people might shy away. Using it reminded me a bit of rubbing Vasoline on my face; a bit heavy and not what I am used to. In general, I like creams and lotions that feel cool or feel like they are being easily absorbed by my skin. I was actually a little worried that this stuff would clog my pores or make me break out, but NO! After washing my face I applied enough product to smooth over my skin and massaged it in well. Instantly, yep, instantly my skin felt plumped up and dewey. I checked the jar to see it the product had a temporary tightening and plumping effect. It was astounding! The lines between my nose and chin were softened. It was as if I had gotten botox in my forehead. I'm hooked! I cannot say how this wears under make-up because I almost never wear any in the land of Covid. I also use the water drench line from PTR. In comparison, this line is light and cool and absorbs in a flash and leaves a smooth finish for foundation. After trying this, I will never be without it again. It is the first collagen cream I tried and it improved my skin on the very first use. It is pricey, but I bought it while Nordstrom was price-matching. I hope to buy it on special again, but will certainly re-buy when I'm out. I highly recommend this item along with PTR anti-aging cleansing gel, water drench moisturizer, mask, and serum.
