Let me start by saying I was skeptical about "vegan collagen" at first, but this cream completely changed my mind. The texture? Absolute perfection - like spreading velvet on your skin. It's thick enough to feel luxurious (especially for us dry-skin folks), yet absorbs shockingly fast without any greasy residue.

The real magic happened around day 14 when I caught my reflection and actually did a double-take. Those stubborn forehead lines? Noticeably softer. My jawline? Let's just say I started taking more selfies. The combo of vegan collagen and elastin works like invisible scaffolding for your face.

Now about that controversial scent - it's this subtle vanilla-meets-apple cotton candy situation that had me sniffing my palms all day. No added fragrance, just happy byproducts of the natural ingredients. Pro tip: Layer it with their vitamin C serum at night for next-level morning glow.

Watch out though - while most users (including my sensitive skin) loved it, one reviewer mentioned irritation when used directly on facial skin. Might want to patch test first or repurpose as a neck cream if needed (which apparently works wonders on crepey neck skin!).

The jar lasts forever since you only need a pearl-sized amount. At $32 for 1.7oz, it's cheaper than most department store creams but performs like a $100 luxury product. My only complaint? I wish the jar was squeezable instead of dipping fingers in.

Final verdict: If you're debating between this and that fancy French cream collecting dust in your cabinet - give Honest a solid two weeks. Your skin (and wallet) will thank you.
