Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. It softened, smoothed and hydrated my skin and I definitely noticed that added 'bounce' when using this, even if it was a temporary effect.

They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer. Niacinamide is a perfect active in a moistruizer because it helps calm down inflamation in skin and support the skin barrier. I thought it was the temperature change (even though it was the perfect year round moisturizer for my combo skin) but after looking at the ingredient list realized they changed the formula. You have your oat extract, your glycerin, your squalane your hyaluronic acid and added licorice extract. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Firming Collagen Cream is packed with antiaging ingredients like collagen, peptides, and niacinamide, all of which help to reduce signs of aging and leave a healthy, bouncy appearance in the skin.Item was delivered perfectly intact, my first time having it and it was hearty for a rice dish with good flavor, chew and a mild spice kick. Supercharged with peptides, this multi-benefit moisturiser minimises the look of fine lines and supports the illusion of a bouncy, collagen-rich complexion, while niacinamide promotes a more even appearance.

And there's obviously your colloidal oat and the licorice extract (though this is quite low on the ingredient list).Looks like they cheapened the quality: lowered amount of peptides and ceramides, and increased amount of fillers and preservatives such as xanthan gum and phenoxyethanol. However, I noticed that the consistency of the new jar I recently got was different… felt greasier and didn’t really sink into my skin like it used to.
