This was suggested to me by a knowledgeable aestitician - and it was not cheap. The idea of this clear, light collagen gel is to work as an anti-aging product and help strengthen the skin after an in-depth treatment such as IPL. It also apparently helps the skin retain moisture (I have normal skin and no problem with this) and works as an anti-aging treatment (under moisturizer). It comes with a spatula to avoid your fingers contaminating the gel in the jar. I have to be honest and say I saw no huge improvement, though the product was easy to work with, had excellent absorption, and felt good on the skin. Perhaps I'd need to put more time into the treatment,, but I just didn't see the return on investment.
