Let’s talk about something juicy — and no, not office gossip (though I’m here for that too). I’m talking about The Face Shop Pomegranate & Collagen Volume Lifting Cream, the K-beauty superstar that promises to moisturize, lift, firm, and maybe even turn back time — all while smelling like a spa in Seoul.
I’ve been using this little pink jar of hope for a few weeks now, and honestly? I like it a lot.
First Impressions:
The cream comes in a pearly pink jar that looks like it belongs on a K-drama vanity table. You will feel extra just unscrewing the lid. It has a light, pleasant fragrance — think fruity floral but not like a teenager’s lip gloss exploded.
The texture? Silky but not greasy. Rich but not suffocating. Basically, the cream version of that friend who’s always overdressed but never overdressed.
Price:
On Nykaa, it retails for Rs 2350 for the 100 ml tub but there is always 10-20% discount.
Key Ingredients: Pomegranate + Collagen = Anti-Aging Avengers
This cream stars two heroes:
- Pomegranate extract — rich in antioxidants, helps fight free radicals, and gives your skin that I drink 2L of water and sleep 8 hours glow (even when you… don’t).
- Marine Collagen — supports skin elasticity and firmness, because gravity is rude and persistent.
Together, they aim to plump up fine lines, hydrate your skin, and make you look like you haven’t cried into your pillow last night over a Netflix show.
Day Cream? Night Cream? Why Not Both?
The Face Shop says this cream is suitable for both day and night use. And yes — it plays well under sunscreen and makeup during the day, and feels like a cozy comfort blanket at night. I mean, if you’re going to binge-watch dramas till 2am, at least your skin should be nourished.
I have slightly oily skin, and it didn’t make me super oily or break me out. Disclaimer, I use it only at night when the AC is on. It nullifies the super drying impact of the air conditioner. While I am going out during the day I prefer not to use it. If you’re super oily, maybe don’t use during the day. If you’re dry, you’ll love the plumping effect.
Results After 3 Weeks: Glazed and Not Confused
Here’s what I noticed:
- My skin looks smoother — like someone gently airbrushed it.
- My smile lines? Slightly less.
- My cheeks have that healthy, post-facial bounce.
- No breakouts, no irritation, and no “I just slathered Vaseline on my face” feeling.
Basically, if my face were a dessert, it’s now a dewy glazed donut.
Final Verdict: Worth the Hype?
Absolutely. For the price and the results, The Face Shop Pomegranate & Collagen Cream is a lovely addition to your routine if you’re looking for hydration + firming + glow, without needing a celebrity-sized skincare budget.
Will it erase every wrinkle? No. Will it make your skin look like you drink kale smoothies and meditate daily? Yes, ma’am.
Would I repurchase? Already halfway through the jar, bestie.
