First Aid Beauty Firming Cream with Peptides, Niacinamide + Collagen – Day & Night Anti-Aging Face Moisturiser Helps Visibly Firm Skin – 50mL

Product Information

When it comes to hydrating moisturizers, First Aid Beauty knows their stuff. This one gets an enthusiastic thumbs up from me. When it comes to skincare, sometimes simplicity is key, and no brand embodies that ethos more than CeraVe. Their night cream earned the top spot on our list due to its deeply hydrating, gentle formula that felt great on our sensitive skin and delivered long-lasting results. Another night cream formula that impressed us throughout the testing period is the Differin Restorative Night Moisturizer, which is a fraction of the cost of similar products. The formula feels ultra-luxurious, even though it doesn’t look that way. We also appreciate the pump-style dispenser, which is easy to use and more hygienic than a tub. My skin looks radiant and glowing so much so that my husband has even commented on how soft and smooth my skin is!… Lightweight and airy feeling, easily absorbed, and lovely light clean scent that disappears. Fantastic lotion!” What We Love: This lightweight moisturizer provides the right level of hydration and consistency for oilier skin types.

Even just a light application makes my skin feel hydrated, bouncy, and firm, and I know with continued use, those benefits will only multiply. While testing this product, we found that it worked some hydrating magic, and when we woke up in the morning, our skin still felt well-nourished and moisturized, which is a total win (especially if using it in the winter months). With all of this in mind, it’s important to note that this night cream is specifically formulated for dry to very dry skin types, so it’s a not recommended for those who experience oily or acne-prone skin. Cleanse your face, then exfoliate (I only do this 2-3x a week), use a serum, then apply a layer of the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Collagen Cream. Ultra Repair Cream vs. Ultra Repair Firming Collagen Cream: What’s the Difference? Also, I find the textures to be slightly different. The Ultra Firming Collagen Cream is just a tad more lightweight than Ultra Repair, which makes it especially great to apply in the morning, since it sits nicely under makeup. When choosing a night cream — really when choosing any skincare product at all — it’s important to consider your skin type and specific needs. Here’s the good news: Almost everyone, even the oiliest of us, can benefit from a boost of hydration and moisture, making a night cream the perfect vehicle for targeted skincare. Still, what works for someone with perpetually dry skin won’t work as well on someone with oily skin, and so on. In terms of a night cream, you’ll want to use your skin type as a guide to help find the right consistency and texture for your needs.

The main thing we didn’t like about this night cream was its scent. It’s subtle, but it may cause irritation in sensitive or reactive skin. As we age, we naturally lose collagen, which can result in textural changes, loss of elasticity and firmness, along with fine lines and wrinkles. We created the PEOPLE Tested seal of approval to help you find the very best products for your life. We use our unique methodology to test products in three labs across the country and with our network of home testers to determine their effectiveness, durability, ease of use, and so much more. Based on the results, we rate and recommend products so you can find the right one for your needs.

If you hope to achieve bright and plump skin with a collagen cream, look for additional ingredients like hyaluronic acid, squalane, and niacinamide that are known for their hydrating and brightening abilities.After researching and testing dozens of formulas, our list contains the best night creams across a variety of categories. However, two stood out the most to us — the CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream and Differin Restorative Night Moisturizer. Both moisturizers are relatively inexpensive and contain some of the best skincare ingredients for supporting natural cellular turnover and promoting deep, lasting hydration. You can think of it as the “glue” that holds all these things together. In fact, the word comes from the Greek word “kólla,” which means glue.

If you have super-duper dry, sensitive skin, redness, itchiness, or eczema—or if you’re just looking for a great all-around everyday hydrating cream… go for the OG. (It’s worth noting that it can also be used on your body! The tub is a larger size and a little goes a long way.) Collagen has a large molecular size, which can make it difficult to penetrate past the skin barrier. That being said, innovations in formulas can make the surface of the skin appear plumper. Some formulas also include the use of collagen peptides, which can penetrate the skin deeper as well as other collagen-supporting ingredients—like vitamin C and retinol. Naturally, collagen has made its way into skincare products, namely rich moisturizers. And while the research is still unclear if collagen applied topically can fully penetrate the skin and offer all the benefits it promises (more on that below), the TDLR: it doesn't hurt to use a moisturizer that boasts collagen and other hydrating ingredients. After consulting dermatologists, we compiled a list of collagen creams that offer other beneficial ingredients to protect your skin from aging and leave it plump and hydrated. With its blend of collagen, peptides, niacinamide, and soothing oatmeal, First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Firming Collagen Cream won our top spot as an all around amazing moisturizer. Dehydrated skin" is something we’re asked about frequently. It seems there’s a lot of confusion about what this skin concern is about. A major part of the confusion is that the term "dehydrated skin" is often used interchangeably with "dry skin" or "combination skin" but they are not the same! Dehydrated skin can occur in all skin types and is not exclusive to those with dry skin or combination skin.It’s important to look for humectants, emollients, and occlusives in night creams to boost skin hydration and reduce trans-epidermal water loss,” says Dr. Shirazi. “Along with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and colloidal oatmeal, look for products designed to support the skin barrier with ingredients like ceramides, niacinamide, and allantoin.”
