Dr Lewinn's Ultra R4 Collagen Surge Plumping Gel

I was very excited to try this "miracle" product by Dr Lewinn's, having never tried any of their products before. It is something I possibly wouldn't think of splashing out $84.99 on, so was grateful for the chance to be chosen for a trial. The packaging is simple and luxurious looking which I liked with a no frills, serious skincare appeal. The jar is also premium and at 30gm a pot is a decent size. Inside is a wee metal scoop which is really handy to get out the wee plumping pearls. It has a fresh sweet fragrance which was pleasant to use. Now for the tricky bit... It is not smooth like other moisturisers, rather little orbs of product sitting in a thin consistency gel. I used the scoop to get the product on to the back of my hand first. When applying, I found it difficult to smooth out the pearls without dropping some off before I could "mush" them in to my skin. However when I did get a bit of a handle on it, the product felt lovely and smooth. The result was a smooth texture that made my skin feel a little tightened and hydrated at the same time. Winning! The products main clams were to instantly plump skin, restore moisture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and I feel it did do that to some degree. I will continue using this to assess further as there's a good amount to still get through, so I also feel that it's quite economical. A little does go a long way! Overall, I liked the hydration and slight tightening effect but feel it's not as dramatic as stated. I would recommend to those with drier skin who want instant hydration.

Have really enjoyed trialling this product. It’s super hydrating, at night times I almost felt like I didn’t need my usual night cream and during the day it gave me a lovely glowy / dewy look. I‘ve not really looked good in to collagen/ anti wrinkle creams just yet but found this really lovely, it did leave me with a bit of a flushed face, which made me feel that it was quite an ‘active’ face cream so I’d definitely recommend tearing first. I did notice that the fine lines around my eyes definitely smoothed out more but I do have quite the frown line and at this stage haven’t noticed any difference in that but based on the packaging it looks like with continued use your lines appear even more faded. I’ll continue to use the product as it feels so luxurious and any skin smoothing is an added bonus!

It's soft, and silky, great texture and super easy to put on, doesn't make the skin feel dry or tight. Formula is non greasy and light. Been using it for about a week, and my skin looks subtle and less visible lines. Totally amazing product

I have tested Dr Lewinn's Ultra R4 Collagen Surge Plumping Gel for under 2 weeks at the time of this review. I apply it in the morning and evening on my sensitive skin, which turns dry and red in the winter.

After application, on the first day, my skin felt well hydrated and smooth. It seemed to restore the moisture right away. It was a nice feeling.

The gel presents itself in small pink pearls, very soft and very light. I haven't found it very easy to apply at first as the pearls would "fell off" my face. I therefore decided to rub the pearls in my palms and then on my face and neck.

The gel smells fresh and invigorating. A small pea size is enough and I find that quite economical. However, the jar contains only 30ml and is therefore a bit more pricey than other products.

I really like how the pearls feel and would definitely recommend it to friends.

Love this product. I was a bit apprehensive that it not would live up to its promises but the before and after photos do not lie. Skin feels and looks tighter and my lines have minimized.The only thing negative is that I would rather it was in a lotion or similar rather than the balls, just for ease if applying. Will definitely be buying this again!!!

With winter well and truly here, my skin was in dire need of something extra to help brighten, smooth, and hydrate it, so I was very excited to trial this plumping gel.

Dr. Lewinn's product always look so lush and extravagant, and this was no exception and was a delight upon opening the box. Good clear instructions on both the box and the jar is appreciated so I can throw the box away if I wanted to.

I was expecting to see a smaller jar within excessive packaging as is often the case of specialized gels, but that wasn't the case here. Inside the packaging is a gorgeous little metal spatula which you can use instead of fingers to scoop out. I'd recommend using it rather than fingers also because it measures out the perfect amount of product to cover both face and neck.

The scent of the product is subtle and really lovely, and the gel glides on easily and evaporates into the skin without a sticky residue. Very luxurious. I wasn't a big fan of the plumping pearls themselves as they tended to drop off my face and into the basin rather than melt on contact as promised. I found it easier to apply to my fingertips and smear them on instead.

The end result is very pleasing from the first application, and each day, my skin seemed to have more vitality and freshness which I loved. I would definitely use this product again.

This product is meant to do what it says! And to all my surprise and fear of trying out soft pearls, which I thought would not break when they come in contact with my skin, it has totally delivered. I want it more and more.

When I raised my hand up for this trial, I was keen to try Collagen pearls and Neodermyl and mostly how it would react on my skin. I had a thought of how Neodermyl as an invasive ingredient of Derma fillers, can be applied on top of the skin and expected to have similar if not same plumped skin.

The product packaging is simple like any good moisturizer/gel cream glass jar, except this one comes with a steel spatula to take the product out. Although I have used my hands to get the pearls out on my hand before I apply onto my face and neck. I have used the pearly pearls for 10 days now, both morning and before bed after cleaning my skin with my gel facewash and I feel so pumped and plumped up. I only take about 8-10 collagen pearls along with the plumping gel (make sure you take that along) in my hand palm, crush it with finger tips and apply to my cleansed face in circular motions(like you apply any other cream/gel). It serves the purpose of Serum for me in mornings, instantly hydrating and then I have my moisturizer sunblock to top it up. But During nights/before bed it is both serum gel and moisturizer for the skin to let soak and magically work when I sleep. I feel it works great alone as a package on my skin. I love it.

I am going to continue using it, and for its price and the results it delivers I will buy more. I have never tried Derma Fillers till date, and its a No Derma Fillers for me when I have this product. My skin is softer than ever, feel loved, plumped and confident with no dry patches at all. It stands tall on its words.

This is a real deal created with much thought to deliver results for skin success. I will totally share this love with my family and friends. Thanks Dr. Lewinn's for thinking about our skin and Ultra R4 Collagen Surge Plumping Gel creativity. Thanks BR for this Trial opportunity.

I've never used Dr. Lewinn's product before so was really excited to give it a go. The packaging was lovely with a high-end design. The glass jar was a nice touch and I love how the spatula is rather weighty and a lovely design. The product itself I found gave me no benefit or noticeable reduction in my fine lines (I'm 42 btw). It definitely has a gel texture so you do need to wait for it to dry before applying makeup. I found the instruction vague - do I apply this as my moisturiser or prior. I found I did need to add moisturiser as my skin felt dry 30 minutes after application. The "pearl technology" I'm sorry was dumb, on a cold morning you needed to rub together in your hands to dissolve as I discovered they could just fall off during rubbing in, or worse, I discovered a pearl stuck on the side of my face later on. My husband referred to it reminding him of the Something about Mary film scene of the "gel" hanging from the ear. My final decider was over a 3-day test I used Aloe Vera on half my face and Dr Lewinn's R4 plumping gel on the other half. Guess what, the aloe had a visible better result!! This was also noticed by work colleagues. So to summarise sorry I will not bother again with this product.

The box looks like a normal good quality beaty product box, but inside is a beautiful ombre pink and silver jar of loveliness. Very glad to see it also comes with a teeny spatula, helping keep any contanimates out of the jar. The product itself is reminiscent of cavier. Pale pink balls of goodness in a gel suspension all waiting to beautify your skin. A small scoop (really small) is enough. On first use, I thought it was going to be a bit greasy, when you apply it a first it feels quite oily, but within minutes that has gone and you are left with smooth silky feeling skin. It glides on beautifully, and waking up in the morning, my skin was still feeling great. I'm definitely sold on this one, it's my new favourite product.

I thought it was quite gimmicky at first, but as soon as the little pearls are mashed into the gel base, it gives my skin this really smoothing and plumping effect. It does contain dimethicone so it gives you that smooth finish, but the moisturiser certainly provides moisture and hydration because my skin feels nice and plump and soft the morning after.
