I have been using the Marine Cream with SPF everyday for the past 5 years. I do not find the scent offensive or strong. It goes on smoothly and wears well under makeup. I have tried many day creams and this one is the best I have used. My skin drinks it in and is very smooth and clear.

@DJP There's no collagen in it. Look at the ingredient deck. Pro Collagen simply means it's supposed to maintain/stimulate collagen production. That's how I understand it anyways. @Sugipine can probably give a better definition.
You might look at Neutrogena's new Collagen Bank line which touts Pro Collagen as a cheaper alternative.

Yes, pro-collagen includes ingredients such as plant/herbal extracts and even some mushroom extracts, too. Pro-collagen contains building blocks of amino acids (tiny pieces of protein) to help support collagen production in the skin. Collagen is a large protein molecule that is found in the body as strands which support structure in the skin and around the body. The collagen strands are made up of amino acids where they can begin to break down naturally over time and from aging. Providing the skin with topical amino acids, such as the pro-collagen creams contain, can help maintain healthy collagen strands plus provide a good base for hydration. Proteins are naturally water-loving so they can help keep skin hydrated and plump.

Thank you for the explanation about the Pro Collagen. It gives me a better understanding about the ingredients.

Expensive products! No Thanks. I don't ever see any improvements in my skin from any topicals-
If they work for you, great!!
