Award-winning British skincare brand Medik8 has launched a new moisturiser that blends collagen-stimulating advanced actives, and it works to lift deep-set wrinkles and enhance facial contours in seven days.
The new Advanced Pro-Collagen+ Peptide Cream, £79, is powered by a trio of advanced active ingredients, aiming to increase collagen production by 45% within a week. As the latest addition to Medik8’s age-defying range, the peptide cream is great for those looking to boost collagen production and support overall skin longevity.
It’s expertly formulated to target deeper signs of skin ageing. For beauty fans dealing with stubborn wrinkles, the Advanced Night Restore, £48 on Amazon, might be more suitable.
The lightweight formula is said to deliver lasting skin support. Consumers with early access to try the Advanced Pro-Collagen+ Peptide Cream have positive feedback after testing it, and a few of them found their skin was ‘firmer and smoother’.
One shopper shared: « My skin looks more refreshed and a bit firmer, especially in the morning. Fine lines on my forehead look slightly smoother, too. I also appreciate the very light, almost neutral scent — perfect for sensitive skin. It wears well under makeup and keeps my skin moisturised throughout the day. Overall, I really enjoy this cream and plan to keep using it. »
A second echoed: « I enjoyed the buttery smooth texture of this product. I have oily skin, and I love that it did not cause me to look greasy after using it. I have noticed a youthful bounce to my face. No overpowering scent, which I can appreciate in this cream.
« I’ve noticed a smoothness in my textured skin that I am happy about. Before using this, I had a dullness to my skin, and now I am glowing. » Similarly, Elemis’ Pro-Collagen Marine Cream (£98 for 50ml) delivers similar effects on the skin, but the ultra-light gel cream claims to quench thirsty skin and increase hydration by up to 248% in one hour.
At Boots, shoppers can find budget-friendly moisturisers such as the Olay Collagen Peptide SPF30 Day Cream, which is currently priced at £18.99 instead of £37.99. The cream contains Collagen Peptide, which is designed to help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and 99% pure niacinamide, which penetrates up to 10 layers deep to help activate surface cell renewal.
Growth Factor MiniProtein is one of the hero ingredients in the new Medik8 cream. It works to improve the look of skin structure over time by helping to boost skin’s collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid levels.
Another key ingredient is NAD+, which is considered a bioactive form of vitamin B3. It claims to supports skin longevity to delay visible skin ageing; while Anti-A.G.E Peptide blocks skin-damaging sugars from binding to collagen in the skin to prevent new lines and wrinkles.
Albeit the positive reviews, one buyer said: « I rarely break out and ended up with a blemish after using the product for about two weeks. Otherwise, the moisture level is amazing for my super dry skin. »
But a mum-of-one has been enjoying using the Advanced Pro-Collagen+ Peptide Cream, sharing: « I noticed my skin responding, looking healthier and vibrant. My daughter even asked if I’d had wrinkle injections. I love the consistency. It really does just melt in, and my skin just drinks it up. I’m truly amazed at how my skin looks more firm and lifted, and my wrinkles are very improved and softened. »
