Loreal Collagen Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Loreal Collagen Filler Targeted Wrinkle Reducer is another of big-brand Loreal’s line of skin care products for aging skin. The Loreal Collagen Filler claims to provide “instant filling action” for wrinkles and to provide continuous wrinkle reduction. Like all Loreal products, the Collagen Filler can be purchased on the company’s website and can also be found in many department stores. There is no indication on the website of a satisfaction guarantee being offered but you may be able to return the product to the department store if that is where you purchased it.

Loreal Collagen Filler is endorsed by Claudia Schiffer who provides some personal testimonials on the site. Also included are application instructions and a partial ingredient list. Those with skin sensitivities may wish to exercise caution to determine how the product will work for them.

Product Details

According to the Loreal website, the main active ingredient in the Loreal Collagen Filler is hyaluronic acid. This is an ingredient that we like to see in skin care products designed for aging skin. Hyaluronic acid can hold over 1,000 times its own weight in water and is known for deeply hydrating skin. In an effective anti-wrinkle formulation, we prefer products that couple hyaluronic acid with peptides like Matrixyl 3000 and Argiriline which firm up the skin and kick the body’s own collagen production into gear. Using the Loreal Collagen Filler would mean purchasing more products in order to see the ultimate effect.

The product also contains “collagen biospheres” that expand over time to plump up the skin and thereby reduce wrinkles. This term appears to be created by Loreal and the company stops short of saying that “collagen biospheres” contain collagen. The composition of this ingredient remains unclear. Unfortunately, Loreal does not appear to disclose the rest of the ingredients in the Loreal Collagen Filler. This makes it difficult to analyze whether the product contains low-quality “filler” ingredients or any ingredient that may trigger allergies.

The Good

  • Available directly from manufacturer’s website.
  • Endorsed by a celebrity model.
  • Contains hyaluronic acid.

The Bad

  • No money-back guarantee is apparent.
  • May not contain clinically-proven ingredients like Matrixyl 3000 or Argiriline.
  • Not labeled as non-allergenic.
  • Full ingredient list not available.

The Bottom Line

With the thousands of skin care products on the market these days, it is very difficult to recommend one that doesn’t offer up its list of ingredients or offer a money-back guarantee. Unfortunately, Loreal Collagen does neither of these things. Although this product claims to offer immediate results, none of the ingredients listed appear to be able to deliver on that promise. If you are looking for an anti-aging or anti-wrinkle treatment, you may wish to look for one that has hyaluronic acid plus other proven ingredients.

Optional – For Enhanced Results: Hydrolyze®

After looking at so many anti-aging treatments, we've seen that the delicate skin around the eyes can be a real problem area for many people. Dark circles can make you look years older, and for some people even a good night's sleep won't make them go away. That's why we were so excited to find Hydrolyze, which has been formulated by industry experts specifically as an under-eye treatment. The makers of Hydrolyze are so confident in their product that they offer potential users a Risk Free Trial so they can see the results for themselves. Hydrolyze contains the break-through ingredient Haloxyl, which has been shown to reduce under-eye discoloration between 40%-60% in a clinical case study.
