I think a lot of girls (bloggers) recently got an email from the people behind Collin Resultime offering them products for review. It was quite an amusing email as it made out that you had a great blog and they really wanted you to review their products, me being me I was chuffed and though...ooh that's nice, erm fanks! Not realising that it had been copied and pasted to lots of others. Lol! Trust me eh?
I was sent quite a few products, and with my recent allergic reactions to, well, just about everything, I couldn't use most of them. But I was intrigued as Collin Paris Professional is one of the brands that some people use in their beauty salons, I know they use it at the Hair and Beauty salon in the Park Lane hotel in London for example.
My allergic reaction consisted of my face going bright red, the skin around and on my eye flaking and also the same around my mouth, nose and chin. Wit woo! Once the dried skin came off I was left with a red face kind of like I had been slapped! So I decided to try the Regenerating Collagen Gel to try and soothe my skin as honestly it looked atrocious. In fact, I will stop being vain for one minute and show you a picture...don't laugh too much! This is on a good day 4 days after the allergy started, I wasn't going to take a picture before that.
I have been using the collagen gel for 2 days now and I will continue to use it for the next week and update how I am getting on. So far I love how cooling and soothing it it, it doesn't sting at all and my skin really does seem much less crusty and more smooth. The smell is slightly like an old style French scent (hey it's a French brand) but whereas scents normally irritate me this hasn't so far. But I will update this post once I have given it a good test.
The regenerating collagen gel is designed to plump up you skin and make is firmer and plump. As it's a gel it is great for dry and dehydrated skin, it is also good if you skin is dehydrated buy oily as it won't make your skin greasy. It also contains the new patented active ingredient called Vectorised Micro Collagen. But I have no idea what that means..? Science geeks got any ideas?
I have to say I am impressed with the product so far, the packaging is heavy and good quality and had a foil seal to keep the product fresh. It costs around £44 and you can find you nearest stockist on www.collin.ltd.uk
Have you used this brand? Do you think collagen gels work?

Ah it's ok, just wish they weren't so blatant haha! I was well chuffed to begin with as well I'm such a saddo!
I just tweeted you with my geek thoughts on the vectorised micro collagen. To summarise, in my opinion it's a way of wording it to make it sound like the collagen can penetrate the dermal layers after research has shown that 'normal' collagen is too big to pass through the epidermis.
I think if something feels nice to use that is what's important rather than the active ingredients. I hope you and your poor red face are feeling much better missus.

Vectorised micro collagen is a bioactive fragment of collagen, so it is small enough to enter the skin, unlike the full collagen molecule, which has some less positive press recently. The micro collagen stimulates the production of your own natural collagen and hyalunronic acid and in this case it has efficiency tests of increases of 49% collagen and 78% hyalauronic acid.
The vector part of this ingredient is a delivery system for the micro collagen to get into the skin which ensures it gets to where it needs to get to stimulate the cells to produce collagen and other essential skin proteins.
Is it a palmitoylated Leila? I realised that the micro part meant that it was the repeated peptide but wasn't sure whether it had been shown to be functional. Is the research published?
