A product that I’ve been obsessing lately is the St. Ives Facial
Moisturizer Timeless Skin Collagen Elastin.
When I hear St. Ives, the first product that comes to my mind is the
Apricot Scrub. I’ve talked about the product countless times here on the blog
for it is truly one of the best face scrubs for oily and acne prone skin.
One lazy stroll at Watsons I saw this huge tub of face moisturizer
available beside the Apricot Scrub and I got interested. Sadly, I didn’t buy
one because I was still using a pretty new moisturizer from Celeteque.
As soon as I finished using the previous moisturizer, I proceeded to
buy and try out the St. Ives Facial Moisturizer Timeless Skin Collagen Elastin.
No regrets though for this moisturizer is the bomb! Below is my full
review.
Product Information
St. Ives Facial Moisturizer Timeless Skin Collagen Elastin is an
anti-aging moisturizer that targets wrinkles.
It claims to nourish and hydrates skin; formulated with collagen
elastin proteins and safflower seed oil that minimizes the look of fine lines
and wrinkles.
Also promises to leave the skin looking visibly softer and smoother
after use and is dermatologically-tested.
Price
The St. Ives Facial Moisturizer Timeless Skin Collagen Elastin is
available for only Php 267 and you get around 525ml of product already.
Ingredients
Two of the main ingredients of the St. Ives Facial Moisturizer are
collagen and elastin. Both are considered as the skin’s youth protein.
Collagen is a fibrous protein found throughout the body and is
responsible for skin firmness and suppleness.
Elastin on the other hand is responsible for giving structure to skin
and organs. It allows the skin to resume shape after stretching or contracting.
With more collagen and elastin inside us, the appearance of fine lines
and wrinkles is better prevented.
It also has Safflower Seed Oil which is a cousin of thistle. Safflower
helps in deeply moisturizing the skin. Thus, you get a more supple and smoother
complexion with frequent use of the St. Ives Facial Moisturizer Timeless Skin
Collagen Elastin.
My Experience
The only thing I was hesitant about when I purchased the St. Ives
Facial Moisturizer Timeless Skin Collagen Elastin was the size. I felt it was
too huge and I might waste the product in the end.
But lo’ and behold, almost two months after buying, I am already
halfway the big tub because I’ve been using it every single day. I even
splatter the product all over my body as a lotion whenever I’m needing that
extra moisture.
PACKAGING. St. Ives Facial Moisturizer Timeless Skin
Collagen Elastin comes in beautiful 10oz plastic tub. All the information you
need to know about the product is available from the packaging.
UPON APPLICATION. What I
first notice upon application of this moisturizer is how good the smell is.
It’s so addicting and definitely one of the reason why I love using this
moisturizer in the morning. The product comes in a thick, creamy consistency
that gets easily dissolved. You don’t need that much to be honest. It spreads
well on the skin and I love how my skin drinks the product.
HOW I USE IT. Although the instruction says to apply the
product day and night, I personally prefer using it in the morning. At night, I
end my skincare routine with an aloe vera gel so there’s no need to put a layer
of this St. Ives Facial Moisturizer Timeless Skin Collagen Elastin anymore.
What I do is scoop enough product from the tub and massage it first between my
fingers before spreading all over the skin.
EFFECT. Two months into using the product and I can
literally see the result already. My skin just looks better especially the
texture. It looks brighter, clearer and softer that even my office mates and my
younger sibling notice. As for the wrinkles, it is something I cannot
capture in a photo but with the ingredients from the product I have faith it
will help avoid or diminish the appearance slowly but surely. It is working
wonders now in making my skin look and feel “chok-chok” and with that I’m very
thankful.
What I Like
● smells so gooood
● applies and spreads easily on the face
● budget-friendly considering the price and the
amount of product you’ll get
● very moisturizing
What I Don’t Like
● Nothing really. I’ve been enjoying this
moisturizer and will definitely buy another.
Overall
St. Ives Facial Moisturizer Timeless Skin Collagen Elastin does an
excellent job in moisturizing my skin. It fulfills everything I need for a
moisturizer. I love how quickly it is absorbed by my skin. It smells fantastic
and leaves my face feeling supple and moisturized.
