A silicone-free moisturizer that is said to prime and hydrate to reveal a smooth and radiant complexion According to the brand, the key Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream ingredients include Padina pavonica thallus extract, Acacia decurrens (mimosa) flower extract, and Rosa centifolia (rose) flower extract. Below we’ll discuss each of these key ingredients in detail so you’ll know exactly how they affect your skin. One reason this is problematic is because the low concentrations of key ingredients mean that there’s a low chance they will provide benefits to your skin. Don’t get us wrong, more doesn’t always equal better. This is true with the ingredient retinol, which is effective even at low concentrations. However, the brand could definitely use higher concentrations of ingredients like cucumber extract, avocado oil, and the other botanical extracts that they claim are key ingredients. Key ingredients include glycerin, synthetic emollients, wheat germ oil, shea butter, chlorella, Padina pavonica thallus extract, Acacia decurrens (mimosa) flower extract, and Rosa centifolia (rose) flower extract

The high concentration of antioxidant compounds found in ginkgo biloba leaf extract, such as flavonoids and polyphenols, enable this ingredient to function as a free radical scavenger. Free radicals are highly reactive, unstable molecules that come from factors such as UV exposure, pollution, smoking, etc. After the skin is exposed to these factors, free radicals can react with important cellular components within the skin, such as DNA, the cell membrane, and collagen. Damage to these components leads to signs of aging, such as lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. By using ingredients that are rich in antioxidants, such as ginkgo biloba leaf extract, the skin is better protected from free radicals. Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream also includes Chlorella vulgaris, a green eukaryotic microalgae. When applied topically, chlorella has been shown to stimulate collagen synthesis. Collagen is responsible for the strength, elasticity, smoothness and plump appearance of healthy skin. Additionally, Chlorella vulgaris extract has an anti-collagenase and an anti-elastase effect. Collagenase and elastase are enzymes that break down collagen and elastin, respectively. Since collagen and elastin are responsible for the strength and elasticity of skin, preventing the degradation of these proteins is important for maintaining a youthful complexion.
