Disclaimer: This is complementary set sponsored by Ujene. However, Ujene didn’t demand anything from me. Therefore this review is solely my independent and honest opinion about the products and hopefully you will learn a little bit about their product here.
Being the core range, Ujène Puriste Collagen aims for whitening, anti-aging, hydrating & soothing.
I received the steady-packed parcel by little surprise. To be more precise, personally I was impressed by their professional way in handling the parcel. First, I did not expect they will send me a full size product, all I asked was a trial set that can last for at least 1 week usage, so I can try and do a preliminary review. Each product was wrapped with bubble wrap, they were not only came with purchase accessories like brochure, sample sachets and shopping bag, but also compliance with custom rules by including product MSDS. I was pleased with the “virtual shopping” experience.
What Ujène Puriste Collagen says
Key active is OVILUXE™, finest grade, biocompatible, cell adhesive, 99% purity triple-helix collagen that acts as a moisture-magnet in skin, drawing and plumping up vital moisture within skin’s epidermis. Infused with finest grade botanicals, the PURISTE COLLAGEN range of products revitalizes and effortlessly plumps up skin’s collagen network to rediscover a sublimely youthful bounce in skin, reverse signs of finelines and reveal a healthy, natural glow in complexion.

Product packaging. Among the three products, the serum is in elegant appearance with friendly button pump. It does have good amount of weight. The day cream comes in decent practical jar but the soft tube of eye gel looked rather substandard considered the steep price.
Generally I was looking forward to experiencing the eye gel most before I tried the products, expecting the serum to surprise me most and assuming the day cream to be mediocre most. After using for more than 3 months, my mind changed. The day cream served my current skin condition best, the serum touched my heart most and the eye gel disappointed me most.

Ujène Puriste Collagen Eye gel, S56 / 15g
As I was constantly in searching of better eye care, I do hope meeting a lovely eye care product by chance. It doesn’t have to carry big international trademark but must show proven result – to treat fine lines and show visible improvement after a reasonable period. This eye gel has lightweight gel texture, non-irritating and feeling gentle. It worked fine when the climate is very humid here that my fine lines are hidden themselves perfectly without any skin care product. However, it failed to show any appreciable result when I used it after the fine lines shown, yet it highlighted the lines on the dehydrated area. Well, obviously it is not functioning as wrinkle filler. Talking about my puffy eye bag… I think that would depend on how much water I drink before sleep. I don’t have dark circle so I could not justify on that. However the freckles around my eye zone appeared lighter than the freckles on other areas, I would give the credit to all three products because I used them on eye zone all times. In a nutshell, it loads a bundle of goodies in a tube but I can go without this.

Ujène Puriste Collagen Serum , $105/30g
The Collagen Puriste Collagen serum on the other hand reminded me of Rojukiss Protox serum, a serum that I loved very much in the past. This serum has 10% OVILUXE with dewy consistency and easily absorbed into skin, instantly giving skin slightly “tightened” and “lifted” feel. Skin is feeling full, firm and bouncy though the skin is slightly sticky touch in first few minutes upon application in humid environment. I normally go with 1/3 of the pump for subtle hydrating effect. Nevertheless, the serum absorbed and dried on skin relatively fast with lower air humidity. Ingredient wise, it is certainly more premium than ordinary hydrating serum, it loads ton of hydrating goodies in a bottle. Overall, this acts as a good complimentary for dehydrated skin.
Ujène Puriste Serum Ingredients:
Aqua, Soluble Collagen, Butylene Glycol, Cabbage Rose (Rosa Centifolia) Water, Glycerin, Aloe Vera ( Barbadensis ) Leaf Extract, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Panthenol, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Niacinamide, Allantoin, Caprylyl Glycol, Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate, Chlorphenesin, Sodium Hydroxide.

Ujène Puriste Collagen Day Cream, $96/50g
When the serum left sticky film on skin in humid day, this Puriste Day Cream can immediately ease the stickiness. Well, I like rich moisturizer but afraid of pore pore-clogging and cause breakout, hence I always use rich facial oil which serves my skin wonderfully. It gives matte finish, melts into skin effortlessly, non-greasy, non-sticky, did not clog my pores, instead it made skin felt temporary “tightened” and “lifted”. The longer I use this day cream, my fondness for it deepen.
Although it is Day cream but it does not contain sunscreen ingredient so I actually use it day and night. I guess the lightweight cream texture is meant for day use. As the cream it very spreadable and it feels traceless on (dry) skin quickly, ideally use in morning particularly it saved my skin care time and serve as good base of makeup. For the amount used for each application, it lasts for 3-4 months.

Overall I have pleasant experience with the products. I did not suffer any adverse effect from these products despite sometimes it caused a little warmness to skin on application. If you purely ask for good ingredients with eco-friendly principle, these are nice try if you are fine with the price tag. If you are expecting luxury richness for its price, this might not satisfying you.

Hello!!
I have been reading your review and they are very useful as I have a sensitive skin as well. I can tell you about an amazing brand I am in love right now, you should have a look online for Dr. Hauschka. Their eye care products are very worth trying. Thank you for your blog.
