The best cream with collagen: for younger, more radiant skin

The best creams with collagen

Collagen creams have become increasingly popular as a type of anti-wrinkle cream that work to smooth over any fine lines on the face, particularly around the eyes. Some work by boosting the skins natural collagen, whereas some will give you an extra boost of collagen where the skin is lacking.

What is important to consider when choosing a collagen cream is your skin type. A lot of people prefer to use a day cream, our top pick for a light day cream with collagen is Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream, as it aims to provides a nice smooth base to apply your makeup on. However, collagen cream can be quick thick, so if you often feel like your skin is left a little tacky after application, opt for a night cream so that the skin has plenty of time to absorb it.
