As far as holy grail ingredients go when it comes to combating the signs of ageing, you don’t get much more significant than Collagen Peptides, the superstar ingredient in the Gatineau Collagene Expert range.
Collagen Peptides mimic our natural collagen (the most abundant protein in the body which provides skin with structure, resilience, and shape) but sadly collagen degrades as we age (from the age of 25 years old actually) contributing to visible signs of ageing such as loss of elasticity, lines, and wrinkles.
The star of the show has to be the Collagene Expert Ultimate Smoothing Serum, a revolutionary much-loved formula; parched and wrinkled skins, rejoice! It is world-renowned for its one-of-a-kind silky texture, and unparalleled benefits, and is a tried-and-true cult favourite, providing powerful hydration to skin, instantly quenching its thirst. Powered with collagen boosting technology complemented with intensely hydrating Sweet Almond Oil, you can expect a seriously smooth, springy complexion and skin-plumping radiance rapidly. Exposure to screens, dehydrating air-con and even just the general stress of day-to-day life can play havoc with our skin, but thanks to the protective benefits of Peruvian Carob, a shrub rich in galactomannans and antioxidants, it creates a second skin, not only forming a natural buffer against environmental toxins BUT immediately tightens the skin surface. And further enhanced with industry lauded Vitamin C, this serum delivers a shot of energy for tired complexions while reducing the appearance of dark spots so your skin can literally go filter free!
Gatineau makes no secret that the secret to a ‘healthy glowing skin’ begins with cleansing. Enter the new Collagene Expert Phyto Radiance Cleanser, a velvety transforming cream-to-oil formula designed for all skin types. This triple action (yes triple!) cleanser is designed not only to cleanse the skin but it tones and exfoliates too! The first step in your daily regime, it leads the way towards cleaner, fresher and suppler skin and reaps miraculous results partly down to the presence of five types of natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids (aka AHA’s) that buff away dead skin cells to clear blocked pores and smooth and brighten without disturbing its delicate balance. Add Collagen Peptides and Squalene to the multi-tasking medley and these dynamic actives work swiftly to smooth out every groove, furrow and indentation ensuring a silky, supple canvas and creating a flawless channel to magnify the effects of your other skincare products.
This incredible range also includes an essence that literally brings parched skin back from the brink. The Gatineau Collagene Expert Hydra Essence, to be fair, should be a permeant fixture in everyone’s routine as it ticks every box – prepping, priming, plumping, hydrating, and protecting. A featherweight genius, it is filled to the brim with some of the most highly effective skin-loving moisture magnets that work harmoniously together to give your skin optimum hydration, iron out lines and wrinkles and restore brilliant brightness. This is a serious remedy which future-proofs skin and enhances the performance of all other serums applied subsequently, aiding penetration for optimal efficiency.
The Collagene Expert Ceramide Smoothing Cream, a seriously luxurious, hydrating and skin plumping cream with a beautiful, comforting lightly whipped texture. Flooding your face with three different types of collagen molecules, including the first ever bio designed vegan collagen called Humacoll21, there isn’t much this game-changing moisturiser can’t do – think ‘plump up the volume’, think ‘petal-soft skin’.
A pillow-soft formula, and a welcome addition to our Collagene Expert ensemble, the Ceramide Smoothing Cream applies smoothly and absorbs quickly without any of the heaviness, meaning you’re free to add make-up without risking it slipping as temperatures soar. The future of your supple, smooth, plumped, and protected complexion starts now.
If fine lines and wrinkles are stressing you out, you are looking for filler without the needles or you want to drench your parched skin with a dazzling veil of hydration, then the newest addition to the Gatineau Collagene Expert range is definitely a product you will want in your skincare routine! The Collagene Expert Plumping Revival Mask is the ultimate foil for moments when you wish to bounce back to your best, thanks to its rich sumptuous formula.
Best paired with a good page-turner or a fascinating box set, this indulgent soufflé formula should earn a spot in your evening ritual or whilst you dream ‘sweet dreams.’ The perfect pre-party pick-me-up if you’ve just got a 10-minute turnaround, consider this mask to be your knight in shining armour. It resuscitates dull, lacklustre skin with its cocktail of plumping, glow-bestowing ingredients, which immediately infuse into dulled, depleted skin cells, steamrolling lines, levelling out wrinkles, and quenching and hydrating for a truly megawatt glow experience. What a self-indulgent way to hit the reset button for your face.
