I was super impressed with the Algenist contouring cream, a whipped cream that instantly sculpts and defies gravity. It was quite an addiction and now the brand have come up with Algenist Genius Liquid Collagen which has been dancing to rave reviews. It’s a plant based formulation which unlocks collagen and tackles the 5 most common signs of ageing in just 10 days.
This product brings together several industry firsts and immediate radiance to skin. OK, when it first arrived I wrestled with it. I couldn’t get its cellophane wrapper off. It reminded me of Roger Moore’s recent book, A Bientot. Easy open cans are never easy and I never felt so old as when I was struggling to get this wrapper off. Anyway, once its lovely liquid was dropped onto my face, it felt instantly good. They have patented alguronic acid and microalgae oil, which boosts the efficiency of collagen and improves cell regeneration and elastin, which means you get radiant plumped up skin that people actually notice.
It retails for £90 and is available from Space NK or algenist.com. Algenist is an award-winning clinical skincare brand from Silicone Valley, the birthplace of biotechnology, Plants, technology, patents, all put together transcend skincare boundaries. I’d never heard of them until recently but they are certainly the brand to watch. They are paraben, sulphate and synthetic dye free and although they say expect results in 10 days and then better results in 10 more days, they actually work faster than that.
It’s like you’ve given yourself a facial with just a few drops. It lives up to its name – genius.
