Lancome High Resolution with Collaser-48 Review Summary
Lancome is a well-known French cosmetics company that was founded over 60 years as a perfumery and gradually grew to include makeup and skincare products. The goal of the skincare line is to diagnose each woman’s beauty needs and provide the appropriate solution.
High Resolution contains ingredients designed to boost collagen, giving the skin greater firmness and elasticity. According to Lancome’s web site, this product was inspired by laser therapy, and is designed to fill in lines and wrinkles “from within.” Although it incorporates some innovative technology, High Resolution is still missing a few components that would set this serum apart from the crowd. We will take a closer look below.
| Ingredients At A Glance |
|
Lancome High Resolution with Collaser-48™ Intenstive Collagen Anti-Wrinkle Serum contains: rice peptides, which may help to boost collagen production; Vitamin CG, a stabilized form of vitamin C, which may help to protect the skin from free radical damage; mica, which reflects light, imparting a subtle sheen to the skin; rice protein, which may contain antioxidants; and soluble collagen.

| Ingredients In Focus |
|
Peptides are increasingly being used as an alternative to Botox, especially among those who are concerned about the long-term effects of Botox injections. Instead of paralyzing facial muscles, peptides relax them by blocking the nerve signals that tell the muscles to contract. The results relatively mild in comparison to Botox, but this may be considered a benefit to women who fear the “frozen face” look that is often associated with injections. Products containing peptides can make a significant difference, and may even help to extend the effects of Botox beyond the usual several months.

| Benefits to the Skin |
|
High Resolution is likely to appeal to women who have heard about the benefits of collagen and peptides. However, these ingredients only form part of the solution to younger-looking skin. Moisturizers are also very important for skin’s overall look and feel, and unfortunately this product falls a bit behind in this respect. Hyaluronic Acid is an advanced water-binding agent that not only helps the skin to retain moisture, but also provides much-needed nutrients.

| Final Thoughts |
|
Lancome is another brand owned by skincare giant L’Oreal that seems to devote a great deal of its resources to advertising and packaging, yet falls behind in technology. Although High Resolution contains peptides and collagen, these only address one part of aging skin’s needs. Just as collagen levels tend to decline with age, so does moisture. This leaves skin looking dry and dull, and increases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. For this reason, it is important to choose skincare products that include ingredients that are designed to hydrate and soften.
Women who are interested in trying peptides to soften their wrinkles may want to look for a product that also includes an advanced water-binding agent like Hyaluronic Acid. This ingredient is a particularly effective lubricant, because in addition to adding nutrients, it also helps to remove waste from otherwise healthy skin cells.
