What it is
ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF 30 is a fragranced marine-algae day cream with broad-spectrum UVA and UVB SPF 30. The brand describes its texture as a lightweight gel-cream with a silky-satin finish.
Key ingredients
- Padina pavonica: ELEMIS says this brown macroalgae supports skin hydration.
- Chlorella vulgaris: The brand says this green microalgae firms skin and decreases fine lines and wrinkles.
- Porphyridium cruentum: ELEMIS describes this red microalgae as supporting skin-barrier function.
- Sunscreen actives: The product’s Drug Facts list avobenzone 1.0%, octinoxate 1.0%, and octocrylene 0.5%.
How to use
Apply a half-teaspoon-size amount over the face and neck each morning after cleansing and toning. ELEMIS recommends applying at least 30 minutes before sun exposure and reapplying at least every two hours during extended sun exposure.
Who should be careful
The manufacturer’s inactive ingredient list includes fragrance. The current product page does not state a water-resistance duration, so do not assume one from the SPF rating. This is general product information, not medical advice.
What the brand claims
ELEMIS says the cream is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in 14 days and provide instant and 24-hour hydration. The page describes independent 2021 trials over four weeks, but gives different participant counts: 37 in the claims footnotes and 38 in the product details. We are preserving that discrepancy rather than selecting one count; these are brand-reported results, not our findings.
