Reviews

Lovely delicate brightening essence treatment

"Really like this skin product. The top just allows you to put the number of drops in your palm that you require. Consistency is slightly creamy though clear and glides on so easily. I’ve noticed a brightness to my skin since using daily. The smaller size is perfect for travel too. Lasts ages. Delicate essence smell and gentle to skin after sun exposure too."

Helen M. (5/5)

Highly recommend the Collagene Expert Hydra Essence.

"Absolutely beautiful product. My skin feels and looks so much more moisturised since using this essence. You only need a few drops each time so with the bottle being such a good size so it should last a long time."

Francesca L. (5/5)

Golden Glow Gradual Tan

"Excellent product does as it says on the label , gradually tans and has a lovely moisturising effect"

Sally L. (4/5)

Love this serum

"I got the small bottle in a gift set and absolutely loved it so I’ve now bought the large bottle to keep me going as I use it every day. Absorbs really nicely into the skin, leaving it feeling hydrated and is perfect under moisturiser."

Roisin S. (5/5)

Does what it says on the ‘tin’

"Following purchasing the Xmas calendar I am hooked on Gatineau, not disappointed with any of the products and now I’m hooked on miracle eye cream and expert day and night essence. Just bought a couple of the offers so hoping for more favourites to be added to the list."

Elaine P. (5/5)

Lovely, quality product

"I absolutely love this product , it is not too thick and soaks beautifully into my skin . I use it everyday sometimes day and night before bed . Good value as you don’t use a lot at a time . Would not be without it ."

Alison G. (5/5)

The day and night cream

"The day and night cream are fantastic and also the samples are a super size. Great value for money and my skin feels great"

Pam M. (5/5)

Smells gorgeous

"Tried this for the first time while on holiday. It stung a little at first but I put that down to exposure to sun on my skin. I’ve used it on my return home and it’s beautiful product for my skin."

Alison J. (4/5)

A really good hydration for my dry skin

"Happy Customer"
