PAPA RECIPE – Anti-Aging Serum (5.07 Fl Oz.) for Face with Collagen Peptide, Shea Butter & Adenosine – Anti-Aging Moisturizer - Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles, Plumps Skin

I love the moisture, if it delivers the peptides and continues to be great I will keep using. Everyone needs to start using a product with peptides you can feel the difference in your skin.

(Ingredients list is at the bottom of this review.)I really like the PAPA RECIPE Collagen Peptide Serum (5.07 Fl Oz.). It's a very nice hydrating, moisturizing, anti-aging serum with a nice ingredients list. For reference, I have dry, sensitive skin.This is a white, viscous, lightweight gel-like serum. It applies very smoothly, and soaks into the skin nicely. It leaves a lightweight layer of lasting hydration and moisture on the surface of the skin. It is excellent at giving a glowy, hydrated, moisturized, healthy-looking appearance to the skin.This serum has no scent. The packaging is a white plastic bottle with a very functional pump. Most serums come in 1 fl oz/ 30ml bottles. The fact that you get 5.07 fl oz for little money makes this serum an excellent value.Overall, I really like this serum. I love the collection of ingredients, and the plumping hydration and moisture that it provides my skin. I would recommend this serum, because it's a quality serum at a really nice price.INGREDIENTS:Water, Glycerin, 1, 2-Hexanediol, Hydrolyzed Collagen Extract, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Butylene Glycol, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Inulin Lauryl Carbamate, Butyrospermum Parkil (Shea) Butter, Macadamia Ternifolila Seed Oil, Sodium Palmitoyl Sarcosinate, Adenosine, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Acetyl Octapeptide-3, Copper Tripeptide-1, Tripeptide-1, Tripeptide-3, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Tripeptide-2.

I've only ever used collagen as a supplement for joint and muscle health. It holds great benefits for connective tissue rejuvenation. So I was excited to try this product to see how it could help my face. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and the only thing I can think of to describe it is "plumped". Like my face is holding moisture and it has smoothed out the lines on my forehead. Not plumped in a fat kind of way, but almost like my skin is younger and softer. So I'm definitely a fan of this product and I recommend it if you have fine lines you want to get rid of.

While I enjoy this brand and other products by them, this collagen serum is pretty gimmicky.I’m not a cosmetic chemist or a dermatologist, but as far as I know collagen can not be absorbed into the skin because the molecules are just too large. The collagen that’s in this will do nothing to help your fine lines or firm your skin because it doesn’t get absorbed.The peptides in this serum can help stimulate your skin to create more collagen resulting in firmer skin. Used regularly, you’ll likely see some plumping results which could help with the appearance of some really fine lines, but don’t expect your wrinkles to disappear.Only retinol and botox actually help with wrinkles. Everything else can just add moisture to plump the skin and help with the appearance of some lines, but as soon as it’s a little dry you’ll see them again.This is a nice moisturizing serum that’s actually pretty affordable for the volume, but tame your expectations.I have sensitive and reactive skin, and this causes no irritation when used once a day in the morning.It’s a runny consistency. Not too sticky but does take a few minutes to absorb well.

I was impressed with how big this bottle is. You really get a lot for your money.I have only been using it for about a week so of course, I haven't seen any significant results but I do feel like it's making my skin a little tighter. Perhaps that's due to the 'plumping' effect?It doesn't have much of a scent which I like for this type of serum.I did notice that by itself, it seems to have low viscosity. It spreads more smoothly and evenly when used after a hydrating toner.

Papa Recipe has been touted as one of the best asian skincare brands, according to Google, so I was eager to try this on my super sensitive 60 year old skin! I really like it! It's not too thick and not too watery. Not oily or greasy at all. A little goes a long way though, so this bottle should last for a long time and it's price point is most appealing. I've only used it twice, but I do think my skin looks noticably smoother and brighter already! You will want to shake it before gently applying about a dime sized portion, give it some time to soak in and dry, otherwise it may feel a little tacky. I apply it to damp, towel dried, skin and gave it 5 minutes before applying other night cream or makeup over it. It's light enough that you can do that. It is fragrance-free, which I really love, and does not contain propylene gylcol or other known toxic chemicals. It is a crueltry-free brand known for using quality natural ingredients. I am now excited to try other products from this brand! Great find!

I just received the product today and this is how it looks. Dirty and seems used.

This review is for PAPA RECIPE – Anti-Aging Serum (5.07 Fl Oz.)The product comes in an opaque pump bottle with a cap. The product that pumps out is a milky colored serum with medium viscosity, where it still drips but slower, like a syrup. This is fragrance free which is just awesome. I love products that do not have added fragrances. The ingredients in the product have a lot of peptides which help a ton with collagen. It feels nice and light on the skin and the skin absorbs it quite quickly. It doesn't leave a residue on the skin either.I love papa recipe products because they always have great ingredients and this product is no different. I highly recommend for anyone in their 30s and up. It's also around $25 for a bottle of 5 ounces when it is not on sale, so it is quite a good price.
