DERMALOGY by NEOGENLAB V.Biome Cream

I really like this cream but wish it wasn't so pricy. This does what it says.

Love how firm it's made my skin look just after two months of use. I like that it has the ball applicator on the lid but it's definitely not long enough to reach the bottom of the jar. Found that a little goes a long ways. If I use too much then it makes my skin feel tacky.

I’m a bit of a skincare nerd because I’m a chemist, so I always want to see the ingredients and know that my skincare is using the best ingredients backed by science.This Neogen Dermalogy V-Biome Firming Cream is checking all the boxes.Ingredients I love:* panthenol, niacinamide, cyanocobalamin: three B vitamins that are all good news for skin brightening and smoothing* ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, sodium ascorbate, and tocopherol acetate: lots of vitamins C and E, which are powerful antioxidants to help protect your skin from environmental damage and support collagen building* copper tripeptide-1 and tripeptide-1: proven, powerful, collagen building signalers. These are two of my very favorite skin firming ingredients because they are tiny pieces of broken up collagen. When your cells see them, they trick your cells into making fresh new collagen deep inside the skin.I could go on, but I know my neediness isn’t for everyone. TLDR: fantastic, research-based, effective ingredients.The formula is very thick and creamy but applies beautifully and absorbs quickly into the skin. There’s no oily or greasy residue which you sometimes get with a very hydrating formula.There is the faintest of faint scents to the product, not because fragrance was added, but because it contains natural flower and plant extracts. I find the fragrance very pleasant and very light. I pick up notes of gardenia and orange with a hint of freshly cut grass. It’s quite lovely. And again, very faint and not bothersome at all.I have just started using this so I can’t speak to longer term results, but I can say that my skin feels smooth and hydrated. I have used a lot of products from drugstore to luxury, and I find this to be very affordable and reasonably priced for the quality of the ingredients and the quantity that you get in a jar.

I'm pretty impressed with the quality of this product so far. It comes in a nice thick glass jar, and when you open it, there is an applicator attached to the lid that comes out covered in product, making it easy to apply. (Be sure your skin is clean before you apply, so that you don't contaminate the jar.)The product is thick and creamy, and has zero fragrance, which is nice. A little goes a long way; it doesn't take much to moisturize my whole face and neck. It's a good sized jar too, will last a long time. It leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated.For reference, I'm 54 and always in the market for products that promise to delay the inevitable signs of aging. It's too soon for me to see any real firming results, but I like the feel of the product so far, and it's not causing me to break out, which can be an issue with some skincare products I try. So far, so good! I like it.

This is a fairly light cream, so while I usually only use creams at night and lotions during the day, I've been able to use this one during the day as well provided I'm not too heavy handed in applying it.I have mature, dry skin. This cream is very soothing going on. I was a bit apprehensive at using a moisturizer with alcohol added, but it has not irritated my skin one bit. It has lots of peptides in it that are supposed to tell my skin to get it's act together. I've been using this for a month, and while I haven't seen a lot of improvement, I do like the way my skin feels.The ingredients are:Purified Water, Glycerin, Caprylic/​Capric Triglyceride, Panthenol, Butylene Glycol, Propanediol, Niacinamide, 1,2-Hexanediol, Diisostearyl Malate, Coco-Caprylate/​Caprate, Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin), Malva Sylvestris (Mallow) Flower Extract, Stearyl Alcohol, Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate, Hydrogenated Olive Oil Lauryl Esters, Polyglyceryl-2 Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/​Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Dimethicone, Acrylates/​C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Tromethamine, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Xanthan Gum, Thuja Occidentalis Leaf Oil, Adenosine, Sorbitan Isostearate, Lactococcus Ferment Lysate, Coptis Japonica Extract, Ascorbic Acid, Citrus Aurantium Amara (Bitter Orange) Flower Extract, Collagen Extract, Cyanocobalamin, Maltodextrin, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, Sodium Starch Octenylsuccinate, Calcium Pantothenate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Polyglyceryl-10 Diisostearate, Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract, Sodium Polyphosphate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Pyridoxine Hcl, Sodium Ascorbate, Lecithin, Polysorbate 20, Menadione, Tricalcium Phosphate, Silica, Copper Tripeptide-1, Biotin, Pyridoxine, Folic Acid, Tocopherol, Tripeptide-1, Riboflavin, Thiamine Hcl, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Linoleic Acid, Tripeptide-2, Hexapeptide-11, Beta-Carotene, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Hexapeptide-9, Nonapeptide-1, Disodium EDTASome of the highlights by function include:🡆Anti-acne: Niacinamide, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate🡆Antioxidant: Ascorbic Acid, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium Ascorbate, Copper Tripeptide-1, Tocopherol🡆Cell-communicating ingredient: Niacinamide, Adenosine, Copper Tripeptide-1, Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Hexapeptide-9🡆Skin brightening: Niacinamide, Ascorbic Acid, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate🡆Skin-identical ingredient: Glycerin, Linoleic Acid🡆Soothing: Panthenol, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil, Copper Tripeptide-1
