Collagen is one of the most important building blocks of healthy, youthful skin, but as we age, our natural collagen production declines. This leads to dryness, fine lines and loss of firmness — but the right collagen cream can help bring back hydration, elasticity and a smoother texture.

Here are some collagen creams that reviewers swear by for plumper, firmer-looking skin. Whether you want deep hydration, added retinol benefits or a vegan-friendly formula, there’s an option for everyone — starting at $10.

  1. L’Oréal Paris Collagen Daily Face Moisturizer is a drugstore staple that delivers deep hydration without feeling greasy. With collagen and glycerin, this formula softens and smooths skin while helping to restore elasticity over time.
  2. For an anti-aging boost in a single jar, SimplyVital Collagen, Retinol & Hyaluronic Acid Cream brings together three powerhouse ingredients. Collagen supports skin firmness, retinol encourages gentle exfoliation and hyaluronic acid locks in moisture for a visibly plumper complexion.
  3. medicube’s Triple Collagen Cream takes hydration to the next level with three types of collagen that work to improve elasticity, smooth texture and deeply nourish the skin. Lightweight but effective, it’s a go-to for skin that needs extra support.
  4. Looking for a moisturizer that works for both face and body? Elastalift Collagen Cream Skin Care Face Lotion & Body Lotion is infused with green tea and aloe vera, making it an excellent choice for soothing and firming skin from head to toe.
  5. Pacifica Vegan Night Face Cream proves that you don’t need animal-derived collagen to see results. Packed with plant-based peptides and antioxidants, this night cream hydrates deeply while encouraging the skin’s natural renewal process.
  6. Olay Collagen Peptide Face Moisturizer is all about stronger, healthier skin. With a formula rich in collagen peptides and niacinamide, this cream helps improve elasticity, smooth fine lines and boost hydration without leaving behind a heavy feel.
  7. For those with sensitive skin, First Aid Beauty Firming Collagen Cream delivers hydration and firming benefits without fragrance or irritation. Collagen and peptides work together to plump and strengthen the skin barrier, keeping skin soft and smooth.
  8. REMEDIAL PAX Collagen Cream for Face with Retinol and Hyaluronic Acid combines anti-aging and hydration in one. Retinol encourages cell turnover, collagen supports firmness and hyaluronic acid keeps skin moisturized and radiant, without the greasy finish.
  9. If you prefer a lightweight, no-fuss option, Nature’s Truth Collagen Cream is an easy addition to any routine. Formulated with aloe vera and vitamin E, it soothes, hydrates and helps improve skin texture, making it perfect for daily use on both face and neck.
  10. Struggling with dry skin? MEDIX 5.5 Collagen Cream Skin Care Face Lotion & Body Lotion delivers long-lasting hydration while helping to firm and smooth skin texture. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling soft and supple.
  11. Baebody Collagen Retinol Snail Mucin Face Moisturizer might have an unusual ingredient list, but snail mucin is a powerful hydrator that helps repair and rejuvenate skin. Combined with collagen and retinol, this formula plumps, smooths and brightens for a youthful glow.
  12. For a luxurious body cream with collagen-boosting benefits, Sol de Janeiro Collagen Boosting Beija Flor Elasti-Cream is a must-try. Infused with cacay oil (a retinol alternative), plant-based collagen and squalane, this rich cream hydrates, firms and leaves skin silky soft — all with a delicious floral scent.
