"One of my favorites that uses is the Polish Choice Peptide Moisturizer. It contains the Matrixyl 3000 complex, which includes two peptides working together where one signals collagen production and the other dials down the inflammatory response that destroys it. For fine lines and surface texture, this is a good option where you can find it."

"Paula's Choice Pro Collagen Peptide Plumping Moisturizer. This one was really nice. I would purchase it again. It's got a nice lotion texture to it. I found I like this one more in the fall. For winter, it's okay, but on certain winter days, I need a little bit more hydration, a little bit more thickness. But this one's light and kind of lotion, which makes it really nice. You can layer it underneath a thicker cream or something like that. But spring and fall, this one's really nice. So definitely would repurchase that again."

"Paula's Choice seems to be doing what a lot of brands are doing now: starting with the same handful of base ingredients, adding in star stuff, and calling it a new product that ends up being kind of expensive. This one has a couple of peptides, but none of them are super notable. They're not bad; there's Oogo Peptide-1, which is great, but I would have loved to see Snap-8, an Argan peptide, or copper peptides. They really focused on three peptides that are all good, but I would have loved to see a handful more, especially at this price. The rest of the ingredients are basically slip ingredients. I hadn't used it before filming; it just arrived. The texture feels really nice and really silky, and it's aesthetically very pleasing to apply. A little bit goes a pretty long way. You could use it morning or evening; if you're using it in the morning, finish with sunscreen. I'd love to see a couple more peptides in here, but I'll do a full review if you guys want to hear it."

"I've been loving Paula's Choice's Pro Collagen Peptide Plumping Moisturizer. It has three peptides that really help our skin attract and hold on to hydration and moisture. It's all about the skin plumping, and I have to say this is really, really effective at that. I love a Paula's Choice moisturizer, but they're always surprising me in the best possible way with the different textures they have. This is like a beautiful gel balm that is so intensely hydrating, you almost feel your skin immediately plump out when you apply it. It also leaves a really, really healthy glow and it looks great under makeup as well."

"Paula's Choice Pro Collagen Peptide Plumping Moisturizer's campaign is a good example of how the brand is changing. What people loved about Paula's Choice is that it's all of the science and none of the fluff, and this is a very very fluffy campaign. It's not Paula's Choice. The success is now fueled more by their TikTok virality and Unilever's huge marketing budget rather than the trust and honesty that the brand was built on."

"This has a lightweight gel cream texture that will complement all skin types, so even if you're at your oiliest or at your driest. I have combination skin and generally during the winter I do like to resort to moisturizers that are thicker, more rich, more satisfying to use when your skin is in that discomfort, but believe it or not, this has actually been enough on its own, obviously paired up with serums and facial mist, to keep my skin nice and comfortable. I've really enjoyed this more so in my morning routine because I love how this plumps up my skin and gives that youthful bounce. This formulation contains three pro-collagen peptides: there's acetyl hexapeptide-5, oligopeptide-1, and tripeptide-1. These three peptides combined will help to improve skin texture and tone, stimulating new collagen, improving skin firmness, tightening the skin, softening fine lines and wrinkles, giving a brighter complexion, and giving more of that rejuvenated look and feel to the skin. This also contains squalane to help prevent transepidermal water loss, and there's also glycerin in here. This can be used every day, twice a day. It doesn't contain sunscreen, so if you are going to use this in your morning routine, just make sure that you do apply a separate sunscreen on top of this. But again, it's very lightweight and I've had no issues with pilling with this."

"I love using this at night as well. This is the Paula's Choice Pro Collagen Peptide Plumping Moisturizer -- really nice, kind of lightweight texture. I put that on and bring it right through my neck, and I do the same thing I do in the morning and just give a little massage."
