Important notes

• for external use only;
• a patch test on a small area of skin is recommended before first use;
• the formula contains fragrance (parfum), so caution is needed with very sensitive skin;
• contains salmon egg extract and sodium DNA – not suitable for those avoiding animal-derived ingredients;
• avoid contact with eyes; in case of contact rinse with water;
• discontinue use if redness, itching or stinging occurs;
• keep out of reach of children, protected from heat and direct sunlight.

Pharmacist's advice

Collagen Jelly Cream is primarily a hydrating gel cream. Cosmetic collagen does not penetrate the deeper layers of the skin and does not replace the skin's own collagen – its role is to bind moisture and make the skin surface feel smoother and more elastic. The realistic effect is a fresher, “plumper” look.

Thanks to its light texture, the cream is excellent for combination and oily skin and for summer. For dry skin in winter it may not be enough on its own – then apply a thin layer of a richer cream over it or use it over a ceramide serum.

The niacinamide in the formula combines well with most actives, including retinoids and acids. If you use a retinoid in the evening, apply it before this cream and use the cream as a soothing, hydrating layer on top.

Frequently asked questions

Does the cream really contain 98% collagen?

The manufacturer states 98% “collagen water” as the base of the formula. The INCI list includes collagen, hydrolyzed and soluble collagen, but the first ingredient is water – the figure refers to the formula base, not pure collagen.

Is the cream suitable for oily skin?

Yes. The gel texture absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy film, so it suits oily and combination skin.

Can it be used in the morning under make-up?

Yes. It absorbs quickly and layers well under SPF and make-up.

Does it contain fragrance?

Yes, the formula contains parfum. A patch test is recommended for very sensitive skin.

Can it be combined with retinol or vitamin C?

Yes. Niacinamide and the hydrating ingredients work well with both retinoids and vitamin C; apply active serums before the cream.

Does the cream contain animal-derived ingredients?

Yes, it contains collagen, salmon egg extract and sodium DNA, so it is not vegan.
