Others say it "firms" skin.

In skin care, as in life, you often get what you pay for. Naturally, there are exceptions to the old adage—one of which, a collagen-infused moisturizer from L’Oréal, defies the concept entirely. The skin-plumping, anti-aging product has made quite the impression on shoppers, and it’s only $10 during Cyber Monday weekend.
The L’Oréal Paris Collagen Moisture Filler is a deeply hydrating anti-aging face cream intended for both day and nighttime use. Formulated with skin-softening shea butter and youth-preserving collagen, the moisturizer restores skin suppleness in a single use and firms skin over time. And, per the brand, four weeks of daily use diminishes the appearance of fine lines.

ICYMI: Collagen—a naturally occurring protein that’s largely responsible for firm, bouncy skin of yonder years—depletes as we age, which can lead to sagging. Ideally, we could simply slather ourselves in collagen creams to replace what we’ve lost. The idea that topical collagen can directly proliferate new collagen, however, is still up for debate. That said, using collagen-infused skin care is, nevertheless, a good idea.
For one, topical collagen can “lock and hold hydration,” Rowan Hall-Farrise, QMS Medicosmetics global educator and esthetician, previously told InStyle, as it “work[s] as a second skin to protect…barrier function.” This alone is appealing, particularly as our skin barrier function just so happens to decline with age. For this reason, Hall-Farrise says topical collagen is “very important to include in our daily skin care regimen.”
True to its name, the L’Oréal Paris Collagen Moisture Filler does, indeed, contain collagen. (Frankly, I had to triple-check: In a world where most collagen creams cost tens upon tens of dollars, L’Oréal’s moisturizer proves to be a delightful rarity.)
Perhaps its price point is among the reasons why this moisturizer has amassed a loyal fanbase over the years. “It’s reducing my fine lines and wrinkles, if not removing them completely,” one shopper wrote. Another said it delivers on the “hydrating and firming” fronts. A 51-year-old shopper said this has both “diminished [their] fine lines” and “stopped [new] wrinkles” from forming.
Try L’Oréal’s Collagen Moisture Filler Moisturizer—or stock up on numerous jars while you can. After all, with over 46,000 five-star ratings, decades of loyal fandom, and ingredients typically found in much pricier products, this cream is certainly worth (at least) $10 dollars.
