multiple nourishing ingredients, light gel like serum, absorbs well. Hydrated, supple skin
My main draw to this item is the NIACINAMIDE (such a great all around ingredient), AGRININE, ADENOSINE, and the the other ingredients in the formula that piqued my curiosity (Pinus Radiata Bark Extract, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Spirulina Platensis Extract). As a humectant, the addition of Glycerin provides a slight dewy, moisture feel. I tend to ignore collagen only products, as molecularly collagen is quite large and just sits on skin. But this one claims to be a low molecular weight and "is able to penetrate deeply into your skin, being more effective". I really have no idea. I can say that the overall formula seems impressive and has been a very easy addition to my skin care routine. I get my collagen through supplementation and take vitamin c to help boost production. Maybe this will further help/or maintain my 40 something skin (that is gloriously clear, nearly line free, radiant--largely impart to lovely K-beauty products, sunscreen).Very gentle. Zero irritation. Absorbs well. Plays well with other products (I can proceed with moisturizer and sunscreen without it pilling/rolling). If you use more, then it will feel more tacky at first, but otherwise it settles down into a nothing feel. Just lightly hydrated & supple. No scent- at least nothing that I can discern. NO added fragrance/perfume anyway.Fascy Lab has worthwhile formulas. I have been pleased with everything I have tried so far. This Collagen Ampoule can be added to the list. My initial thought is that this serum is thicker than expected. Kinda gel like. Viscous. While it is easy enough to pull up into the dropper, it is thick enough to maybe be better suited in a tube (or even a strong pump). I use it after washing my face, and after my hydrating toner, but before moisturizer & sunscreen. A few drops is all that is needed- just pat it in all over. More if using on neck and chest.4.5 stars

I do not recommend this product!
At first it didn't have any odor but in a few days it started to smell rotten. I no longer wanted to put it on my skin anymore.

The bottle is half empty and the dropper do not work.
The media could not be loaded. I ordered this product because I read about its collagen content and effectivity for the skin.I was excited to use it but the bottle is half full and dropper is not working at all. I want my money back.

Wrong Type of Packaging; Good Serum Though; Ubiquitous Ingredients
The FascyLab Collagen Serum comes in a transparent plastic 1oz dropper for ~$25 as of this writing. The serum is a cloudy, somewhat thick, gel-like consistency. Good spreadability. Quick absorption; without pilling, greasiness. Otherwise, it is colorless and near odorless. I love it when serums lack colorants, fragrances, and essential oils as they pose less potential for irritation for those of us with particularly sensitive skin.While FascyLab has made several serums I've enjoyed using, they have a penchant for placing them into seemingly inappropriate, cheap plastic droppers. These thicker formulations need to be in a small pump or even a tube. The dropper makes using the serum a hint tedious. The wand design is flawed and doesn't suck up the serum well. The user has to dip and draw a few times to get an adequate amount for application.Collagen, as an ingredient in skincare, can be a hint misleading. Some might assume it is literally replacing the lost collagen in the skin. If that were true, we'd all perpetually look 22. One, it can't do that. Molecularly, it is far too large to penetrate deep enough into the multiple layers of skin. And two, it wouldn't know how to replace the lost collagen if it managed to make it through the skin's matrix.Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies. It is one of the primary building blocks of bone, skin, muscles, etc. As part of the skin's framework, collagen gives our complexion that healthy, plump, youthful look. It is also in our hair, nails, and throughout the body in our muscles and connective tissues. As we age, after our mid 20's, we lose more collagen than we naturally produce. Collagen is not easily supplemented or replaced, at least not to the point of turning back the hands of time.Topical applications of collagen are suitable for promoting hydration. That's about it. The hydrolyzed collagen in your serum is not going to literally "firm" your skin. It will boost the moisture balance therein and help "plump" the skin to lessen fine lines' appearance temporarily.Sidebar: Instead of relying on topical collagen for antiaging, use SPF more often if you are not. No one is immune to the damaging effects of UV exposure (regardless of age, gender, skin type, or tone). It is far cheaper and easier to inhibit premature aging than to fix it with serums, creams, lasers, and surgery. I won't nitpick which ones are best formula-wise, find one you like and wear it every day (rain or shine, year-round). Just don't mix into your moisturizer (it will affect efficacy), and don't rely solely on the SPF in your makeup. It would require far too heavy of an application to get the necessary coverage. And don't forget about your neck, lips, ears, around the eyes (oversized shades), and scalp (pretty, large brim hat).But I digress. Niacinamide is a beautiful, skin-suitable b-vitamin. It, too, has become more ubiquitous in skincare (lotions, creams, serums), given its effectiveness in regulating oil production and balancing out the complexion. As an anti-inflammatory, it is excellent for acne-prone skin. It can be it be used alongside most BHAs and AHAs.Combining these two highlighted ingredients is beneficial for the skin and can significantly help with the moisture balance. But keep in mind most lotions already have these compounds present in their formulations. This FascyLab Collagen Serum is simply a booster. Still, this serum was well tolerated and performed as expected. I have mature (over 40), combination, sensitive, acne-prone skin. The serum kept my dry and oily areas balanced; without breaking me out or causing me any undue irritation.How to Use:Cleanse and tone (toning is not a requirement), and while the face is still a hint moist, apply your essences and serums/ampoules based on skin concern (e.g., acne, hydration) and by weight (lightest watery-like to heavier gels and creams). The follow up with your moisturizer (and SPF in the AM).

WOW! It truly truly works!
Drop everything and buy this product! I'm not kidding, it's an incredible value for the price. It feels and works a lot like my Elizabeth Arden retinol ceraminide capsules which are extremely expensive. This Fascy collagen serum comes in a clear bottle with a dropper application, the serum is milky and thick. Apply a dot in 3-4 places on your face and rub in. It plumps up your face and makes uneven skin smooth. My face has been looking like a war zone due to breakouts between my sunscreen lotion and getting maskne from the face masks. This collagen serum started working immediately and when I woke the next morning, the effects were still lasting! Love love love it!

Excellent Serum For Sensitive Skin Types
I’m always on the lookout for serums that are formulated for sensitive skin types like mine. So far this one is working well, and has caused no issues. Because my skin is dry (but prone to break-outs), I apply this first after face washing, and then add an oil moisturizer before applying make-up. Some may think oil causes break-outs, but it’s not true. Cream moisturizers are the culprits for me, especially ones that contain dimethicone. I like what’s in this, and the serum/oil combination adds hydration and gives me better skin tone.
