Supercharged with peptides, this multi-benefit moisturiser minimises the look of fine lines and supports the illusion of a bouncy, collagen-rich complexion, while niacinamide promotes a more even appearance. Absolutely love this product, only used it twice and instantly feel and see a difference in my skin. You would never know the rest of my body is covered in dry skin and scars because of skin care routine. We also have Vitamin E to moisturise and soothe the skin, as well as to provide antioxidant benefits.

At the very least, peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.Supercharged with collagen and firming peptides, this multi-benefit moisturiser helps to support supple and firm skin, creating a bouncy, healthy-looking complexion while softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. I hope they remove it from the formula, because if it wasn't in there I'd be recommend that everyone tries it, but with that in there, I'm hesitant! Based on the ingredients included, "First Aid Beauty - Ultra Repair Firming Collagen Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin.

Apparently there were previously some really nice peptides in here but for some unknown reason they were removed from the formula, leaving behind a nice serum, but one that feels like a bit of a rehash of other products in the line to me. I can only use very gentle products now and this is the only face cream my ultra sensitive extremely dry irritated and eczema prone skin can handle. The niacinamide contained in this First Aid Beauty item is great for those looking to regulate oil production and to visibly improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Firming Collagen Cream is packed with antiaging ingredients like collagen, peptides, and niacinamide, all of which help to reduce signs of aging and leave a healthy, bouncy appearance in the skin. Niacinamide is a perfect active in a moistruizer because it helps calm down inflamation in skin and support the skin barrier.

Personally, it doesn't bother my skin at all and I find this a lovely calming, moisturising cream for my dry winter skin that's easy to use, but that's totally anecdotal and I can't guarantee that those with eczema or dermatitis won't find this ingredient irritating. However, if you don't really do toners and you already have a moisturiser you love, I do still enjoy this product. The science is still not settled on how effective peptides in skincare are, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. Essential oils don't have many skin benefits, they're usually included as a fragrance additive and can actually be quite irritating for the skin.
