Algenist GENIUS Liquid Collagen Serum - Firming and Hydrating Face Serum with Collagen + Vitamin E - Helps Visibly Minimize Fine Lines + Wrinkles and Improve Elasticity (30ml)

This stuff is biochemical engineering at its finest if expensive. I am male and have been using this product for about 2 months.The first thing to know about it is that it absolutely does result in some kind of physical structure change in your skin—almost like a thin layer of agar agar is just under the surface adding... firmness. You can feel its influence on skin elasticity when moving your face muscles 2-3 weeks after starting. Cosmetics don't have to disclose their formulas, so I can only speculate as to how the bioreactor-derived collagen is manifesting but it does indeed appear to "work". The algenic acid included in the formal is non-irritating.Second, the inclusion of "microalgae beads" (and the waste phospholipids from the bioreactor?) alters the microbiome of your face. In other words, at first you will notice a slight increase in "ocean" smell in any deep oil reservoirs. Cyanobacteria seem to be at play here but don't last for long on their own: cyanobacteria cannot survive on human skin biomes. That is followed by a near total change of your own bacteria that may have been causing your acne: 1.5 months after starting, all of my acne dissipated. This is the first time in my adult life I have gone more than a week without a pimple of some kind—three weeks so far!My regimen that includes this product is twice daily:Morning shower with alcohol skin cleanser, single pump of this product rubbed vigorously into skin until dry, and finally moisturizer (Cetaphil).Bedtime with same alcohol-based cleanser, same product quantity and application, same moisturizer.Once weekly exfoliation with AHA-based product.With this regimen, a single bottle lasts a little over 1 month.

The best of the best skincare

This darn sample size got me HOOKED!This is my new holy grail product. It made such a HUGE difference on my 40-something skin - reduced wrinkles, more hydration and more bouncy skin - and I recommend it to everyone!I've bought 3 full-sized bottles since I first tried this product about a year ago and I keep at least one on backup. I use it twice daily when I can afford it, or I cut back to at night only if money is tight. But wow - TOTALLY worth every penny!

Since first using this product, I have noticed a significant change in my facial skin. If you want to be told that you have a glow about you try this product without hesitation. I am going to make sure that I am never without it. If I can invest in shoes that are pricy, I can definitely invest in my skin. My skin is worth every cent. Thank you Algenist GENIUS for an excellent skincare product.

I read reviews about how bad the tube/suction for this product was and I bought it anyway. I should not have bought this and will be trying something else when I am done. You have to use a Q-tip to get the product out and lose all sense of how much you should be using. So frustrating, especially since the company knows how bad this is. Also the scent is very perfume-y old school and too much. That was not a deal breaker but since the product is only okay and the packaging sucks, I am moving on.

Works wonderful. Love the whole line

I like the consistency of the product, but it comes in this small little bottle with a weird pipette that really is not working very well at all. Product doesn't last very long and is very expensive. Not sure if it does anything but too expensive and dispenser is wasteful..

This product delivers the most potent and effective product for your skin that I have ever tried. (And I'm 70) It leaves your face looking and feeling smooth, hydrated, young and healthy. I love good nutrition and this is it for your skin. It is great on mature skin and seems to work great in any climate. I use a moisturizer over it and Algenist Triple Algae eye cream; love them both. Too bad it's this expensive, but it's worth every dime.
