At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Dealing with skin that feels dehydrated or is starting to lose its youthful bounce can be frustrating. This cream is designed to restore that plump, firm feeling.
- Who it's for: Ideal for those with Normal, Combination, Dry, or Mature skin types concerned with dryness, fine lines, and loss of elasticity.
- What it does: Delivers intense, lasting hydration to visibly plump the skin, improve firmness, and create a smooth, dewy canvas.
- What to expect: A unique, satisfying jelly texture that melts into the skin, providing immediate comfort and a hydrated glow without heavy greasiness.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
Integrate this cream easily into a foundational routine:
- Cleanser: Start with a clean face.
- Collagen Jelly Cream: Apply a pea-sized amount to your face and neck.
- Sunscreen (AM) / Final Step (PM): In the morning, always finish with sunscreen to protect your plump skin. At night, this is your final nourishing step.
Note: Already own a similar moisturiser? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
In the morning, this cream provides a hydrating base for the day.
- Step 1: Cleanser - Wash with a gentle cleanser.
- Step 2: Toner/Essence (Optional) - Apply a hydrating toner to prep the skin.
- Step 3: Serum (Optional) - Use a targeted serum (like Vitamin C or Niacinamide).
- Step 4: Collagen Jelly Cream - Apply a pea-sized amount to lock in moisture.
- Step 5: Sunscreen - Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher. This is essential to protect against aging.
Wait Times: Allow 30-60 seconds between watery layers and 1-2 minutes after the cream before applying sunscreen or makeup to prevent pilling.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
At night, this cream works to replenish and repair your skin while you sleep.
- Step 1: Double Cleanse - Use an oil cleanser to melt makeup/sunscreen, followed by a water-based cleanser.
- Step 2: Toner/Essence - Apply your preferred hydrating or treatment toner.
- Step 3: Treatment Serum (e.g., Retinoid) - Apply your targeted night serum. This cream layers well over gentle retinoids to buffer potential dryness.
- Step 4: Collagen Jelly Cream - Apply a slightly more generous amount than in the AM to seal in all your treatments and deeply moisturise overnight.
Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest consistency (toner) to the thickest (cream).
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
Daily Use — AM/PM:
- Amount: A pea-sized amount is sufficient for the face; add another half-pea for the neck.
- Apply to: Face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye area.
- Method: Scoop a small amount, dot it on the forehead, cheeks, and chin, then gently smooth and pat into the skin until absorbed.
- Frequency: Use morning and night as the moisturiser step in your routine.
If-This / Then-That Scenarios:
- If your skin feels extra dry or you're in A/C: Apply a slightly thicker layer at night or layer a facial oil over the cream.
- If you have an oily T-zone: Use a smaller amount during the day or reserve it for your PM routine in humid weather.
- If you're using strong actives (Retinoids/Acids): This cream is excellent to use afterward to hydrate and soothe the skin, reducing potential irritation.
Safety: For external use only. Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin. Stop use if a burning rash occurs and consult our team or a professional.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
Skincare is a journey that requires consistency. Here’s a realistic timeline for results:
- Immediately: Skin feels instantly hydrated, soothed, and plump. The jelly texture provides a refreshing, cooling sensation and a visible dewy glow.
- Within 2-4 weeks: With consistent use, skin's moisture barrier feels stronger. You may notice improved texture, softness, and a reduction in the tightness associated with dehydration.
- After 8+ weeks: The appearance of fine lines caused by dryness may be visibly softened. Skin looks and feels bouncier and more elastic due to sustained hydration and the benefits of ingredients like peptides and adenosine.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
- Myth: "Applying collagen cream adds new collagen directly into your skin."
- Truth-Based Replacement: Topical collagen molecules are generally too large to penetrate the dermis and rebuild your skin's structure. Instead, this cream uses Hydrolyzed Collagen as a powerful humectant. It forms a moisture-rich film on the skin's surface, binding water to instantly hydrate, plump, and smooth the appearance of fine lines. The real anti-aging power comes from other ingredients in the formula, like peptides and adenosine, which signal your skin to support its own natural firmness over time.
Compatibility Guide (what to pair it with)
This moisturiser is designed to be a supportive team player in your routine.
- ✅ Works Well With: Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, Peptides, and most gentle exfoliants (AHAs, BHAs). It's an excellent buffer to use after applying retinoids (like Retinal or Retinol) to minimise dryness and irritation.
- ⚠️ Use with Caution: While compatible with most ingredients, avoid layering it with very heavy, occlusive oils *before* application, as this might hinder the absorption of its water-based components. Always apply this jelly cream before any final-step facial oils.
- 🚫 Avoid On: Do not apply to broken, wounded, or freshly irritated skin.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- 🟢 Excellent for:
- Dry & Dehydrated Skin: Provides an immediate and lasting surge of moisture.
- Mature Skin: Helps to plump fine lines and improve the feeling of elasticity.
- Normal Skin: A perfect daily moisturiser to maintain hydration and bounce.
- 🟡 Good for:
- Combination Skin: Works well, especially as a night cream or on drier cheek areas. Use a lighter amount on the T-zone.
- 🟠 Use with Caution:
- Very Oily Skin: The rich, hydrating formula might feel too heavy for daytime use in Mauritius's humidity. Best reserved as a nourishing night cream.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
This cream is formulated to address key signs of aging and dehydration:
- Loss of Firmness & Elasticity: Peptides and deep hydration work to give skin a bouncier, firmer feel.
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Adenosine, a functional ingredient for wrinkle improvement, is combined with intense plumping from collagen and hyaluronic acid to soften the appearance of lines.
- Dryness & Dehydration: Delivers a powerful dose of moisture to relieve tightness, flakiness, and a lackluster appearance.
- Dull or Fatigued Skin: By flooding the skin with hydration, it helps restore a healthy, youthful glow and radiance.

Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
Your safety and skin health are our top priorities. Please follow this protocol when introducing any new product.
Who Should Use With Caution:
- Individuals with a known allergy to essential oils like Lavender or Rosemary should be cautious.
- If you are prone to milia (small white bumps), use a very small amount around the eye area and monitor your skin's reaction.
Patch Test Protocol:
- Apply a pea-sized amount of the cream to a clean, small area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
- Wait 24 hours. Check for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.
- If no reaction occurs, repeat the test for a second day to ensure there is no delayed sensitivity.
- If your skin remains calm after 48-72 hours, it is likely safe to apply the product to your entire face.
Important: Discontinue use immediately if you experience a rash, persistent burning, or itching. This product is not intended for use by children. For adult use only.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)
- Texture: A unique and satisfying bouncy jelly-cream. It has the refreshing feel of a gel but with the nourishing comfort of a cream.
- Feel on Skin: Spreads smoothly and melts upon application, leaving a silky, hydrated film. It is not sticky or heavy once absorbed.
- Finish: Leaves a healthy, dewy glow, making skin look instantly plump and moisturised.
- Scent: A very light, natural herbal aroma from lavender and rosemary essential oils. The scent dissipates quickly after application.
- pH: Not officially published by the brand, but typically formulated to be in the skin-friendly range of approximately 5.5 - 6.5.
Troubleshooting Guide (common issues and solutions)
-
Issue: The cream feels a bit tacky or heavy.
Solution: You may be using too much. A pea-sized amount is sufficient for the entire face. Apply to slightly damp skin to enhance spreadability and absorption. For very oily skin in high humidity, try using it only at night. -
Issue: My makeup is pilling or moving around on top of it.
Solution: Pilling is often caused by applying subsequent layers too quickly. Wait at least 1-2 minutes after applying the Jelly Cream before moving on to your sunscreen or foundation to allow it to set. -
Issue: I'm not seeing results for my deep wrinkles after a few weeks.
Solution: Cosmetic creams provide gradual improvement for fine lines, primarily through hydration and supporting skin health. Deep, structural wrinkles often require clinical treatments. This cream excels at plumping the skin and softening the appearance of dehydration lines. Consistent use over 3-6 months is needed to see the full benefits from ingredients like adenosine and peptides.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
This cream's hydrating properties are well-suited for the Mauritian environment, with some adjustments:
- Humid Summer (November - April): For those with oily or combination skin, this cream may feel richest during the day. It's an excellent choice as a night cream to replenish moisture lost from sun exposure and sweat. Dry skin types can likely use it comfortably both morning and night.
- Cooler, Drier Winter (May - October): An ideal daily moisturiser for all skin types. Its ability to lock in moisture is perfect for combating the subtle dryness that can come with the cooler season.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
- Will this cream give me the same result as collagen injections?
- No. This is a topical cosmetic cream that works on the surface of the skin to hydrate and plump, which can soften the appearance of fine lines. Collagen injections are a medical procedure where a filler is injected into the dermis to physically fill wrinkles. They work in completely different ways.
- Is this cream suitable for oily, acne-prone skin?
- For very oily and acne-prone skin, this cream might be too rich for daytime use, especially in high humidity. It's generally better suited as a night cream for this skin type. Its primary function is anti-aging and hydration, not acne treatment.
- Can I use this with my retinol or Vitamin C serum?
- Yes, absolutely. It's an excellent moisturiser to use after your serums. When used after a retinol, it can help hydrate and soothe the skin, potentially reducing the dryness and irritation sometimes associated with retinoid use.
The Final Verdict (At-a-Glance) (summary of pros and cons)
Best For: Individuals looking to combat dryness, plump up the skin, and soften the appearance of fine lines with a deeply hydrating daily cream.
Key Benefits:
- Provides intense, long-lasting moisture with a unique jelly texture.
- Visibly plumps skin and improves the feeling of firmness and bounce.
- Generous 110ml size offers excellent value and longevity.
Keep in Mind:
- May be too rich for very oily skin types for daytime use in humid weather.
