This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, can deliver an exceptional level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for dry to very skin.

Rich in Skin-Protecting Antioxidants

We estimate that Charlotte Tilbury Collagen Superfusion Firming & Plumping Facial Oil is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil (est. ≈45.0%) and Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil (est. ≈22.0%).

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.

Things to Be Aware Of: Charlotte Tilbury Collagen Superfusion Firming & Plumping Facial Oil

 
CreamScan AI identified a few things to consider before adding Charlotte Tilbury Collagen Superfusion Firming & Plumping Facial Oil to your skincare routine:
 

Best for Very Dry Skin - May Be Too Thick for Other Skin Types

With exceptional occlusivity, this product is optimal for moisturizing dry and very dry skin but may be too thick for other skin types, including normal, and especially combination and oily skin.

If you have oily, combination, or normal skin and are considering purchasing this product for the first time, it might be a good idea to try a sample before buying.

If It’s Your Only Moisturizer, It’s Better When Paired with Some Humectants

An ideal moisturizer for any skin type should balance the right level of occlusivity (depending on skin type) with a significant amount of humectants, while Charlotte Tilbury Collagen Superfusion Firming & Plumping Facial Oil contains no humectants at all.

People with dry skin would definitely benefit from adding water-binding humectants to their moisturizing routine for effective dual-action moisturizing. If this is your only moisturizer, it may be worth including a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.
