I am a huge fan of Dr LeWinn's products and at any given point they usually feature in my regime (currently I'm using one of their cleansers and a moisturiser, both of which I've repurchased numerous times), so I was excited to try out their Ultra R4 Collagen Surge Overnight Sleep Mask.
First things first: packaging. I did enjoy the look of the product with its silver top and bottom and the two products that were separate within the bottle but were pumped out at the same time for you to then mix.
Once pumped the two products melded together easily and had a very subtle floral fragrance that didn't hang around once applied to my skin. I found the product to be quite tacky initially, however it did sink into the skin quickly.
On waking my skin felt plump and soft, and just looked better. I also found that my makeup would go on better than usual on the days when I'd used it the night before.
Is it love though? Not quite. Even though the scent's fine, it's not my favourite, and while I'll use the bottle up, I don't see myself rushing out to repurchase. A good, solid product thought, and one I'd recommend for anyone whose skin needs a boost.
I've been using this product for 3 weeks and it's a nice addition to your current regime..that's it...a 'nice to have' vs. 'a must have'.
It comes in a functional bottle where one pump is more than enough. The product is of a thick gel consistency that feels luxurious and has a gentle fresh scent.
I apply it directly after my shower and well before bed. It applies well on the skin and while it feels luxurious it does have a tacky finish but dries down shortly after. Overall I don't notice the product on my face.
I used this every night (because I clearly have selective reading) but atleast I know it works well on my sensitive skin. If using it as instructed (2-3x per week) then the price point isnt too bad.
I found that it didn't help improve sleep quality but it did help further improve my skin tone as well as making my skin appear more plump.
Until I finish this product, it's currently 'a nice to have' as it hasn't met all of its claims for me.
Tips: Apply it well before bed so you don't have to wait for the dry down.
