AD this is a paid partnership with ZIIP skincare – all views my own.
Skincare that works with your skin’s own electricity.
ZIIP have been creating incredible devices for us for 12 years now and they have recently launched their much-anticipated skincare line. ZIIP Skincare has been created to work with the electricity in our skin and YES that a whole thing! This influences what is going on beneath the surface of our skin, how the barrier holds, how the skin repairs itself and also how products are absorbed. Every active carries a charge of its own, and that charge shapes how it’s delivered and how much is absorbed. It’s a very unique way to look at skincare and ingredients and this is what ZIIP skincare is based around.
ZIIP also look at treating the skin holistically : not necessarily going in with the highest percentages of actives but looking at what combined actives will work really well together without causing irritation to the skin. Smart skincare for the win!

The ZIIP skincare range has been created by award-winning chemists and falls into 4 key categories :
Pro Collagen – For skin showing the structural signs of ageing — lines, slackening, loss of bounce.
Spot Control – for congested, spot-prone and a more oily skin type.
Barrier Boost – calming, anti-redness and anti-inflammatory : Comfort skincare for even the most reactive of skins.
Glass Skin – glow boosting, brightening and smoothing.
There is also the Reset Foaming Cleanser for all skin types. This is a lightweight, foaming gel texture that contains AHA’s and PHA’s to gentle balance and brighten the skin without stripping it. I use this as my AM cleanser as it’s very fresh and quick to use and also it is perfect as a second step in your evening cleansing routine after a richer balm cleanser if you are a makeup wearer like myself.
You can of course mix and match between the ranges depending on your skin’s concerns and needs. My main focus as a 45+ women is definitely anti-ageing and firming which is why I choose the Pro Collagen products but I know my skin would also love dipping into the glass skin serum and also the barrier boost moisturiser when it needs!

My current skin concerns :
I have recently turned 45 and I have been noticing a lot of changes in my skin lately which is absolutely normal as we age. I have noticed my skin on both my face and neck has slacked more and lost its bounce and maybe a bit of glow. Of course I am seeing more fine lines and wrinkles and I just feel like I am looking a lot more tired these days. In general, my skin is combination but can get a little dry and sensitive in the colder months.
What I am looking from my skincare routine :
Something easy and refined : I am far too busy and lazy to be doing a 10-step routine. I want something that has active and clinically proven ingredients. I also think it’s important to have products that you ENJOY using – and for this I mean texture, feel and the sensorial experience, I don’t want to feel bored when I am applying it. Lastly, I need skincare that WORKS because I have worked in the industry for 28 years and I have tried so much and if it’s not giving me results in a month, then I am moving onto something else!
Why I chose the ZIIP Skincare pro collagen range?
ZIIP skincare do 4 different ranges within their skincare line and this really seemed like a no-brainer for me : I need the more anti-ageing skincare due to my skin concerns and I really think a focus on collagen building will help strengthen and improve my skin.
ZIIP Pro Collagen Skincare.
This is the most ‘anti-ageing’ from ZIIP skincare, so if like me, you are looking for firming and smoothing the skin then this could be the one for you also. There has been a lot of discussions regarding collagen in skincare over the years as a lot of it simply cannot be absorbed into the skin. ZIIP skincare use an encapsulated collagen peptide to ensure it is delivered into and absorbed by the skin effectively. This also ensures the ingredients remain stable in the bottle until application on the skin. Collagen Peptides are also smaller than your typical collagen molecules which makes them more readily absorbed into the skin.
ZIIP skincare pairs a hero ingredients that we probably already know (eg PDRN / retinol / salicylic ) and then pairs it with a supercharged active which is usually lesser known to target the signs go ageing and treat the skin in a more holistic way.
ZIIP SKINCARE = HERO INGREDIENT + SUPERCHARGED ACTIVE = HOLISTIC RESULTS
PRO COLLAGEN FIRM SERUM :
This has a lovely silky texture that is easily absorbed into the skin. The bottle is glass and has a pipette for applying the serum. I use about half a dropper per application. The key ingredients for this are 0.2% retinol for firming, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles and improving the texture of the skin, it also contains biomimetic growth peptides which helps with skin renewal , firmness and glow.
This is a PM serum due to the retinol in it so also ensure you are using a decent SPF during the day when using this.
Clinical results include :
- Reduces wrinkle volume by 23.2% around the eyes and 23.5% under the eyes
- Increases skin firmness by 13.7%
- Improves skin elasticity by 12.3%
- Reduces wrinkles and fine lines by 9.4%, clinical grading
- Increases skin density by 17.7% for firmer, denser-looking skin
PRO COLLAGEN BOUNCE MOISTURIZER :
This is a lovely sumptuous cream with a comfortable texture but did not feel too rich or heavy for my combination skin. It has an easy pump applicator to get the right amount out and it can be used both AM and PM. The key ingredients for this an encapsulated Collagen Peptide to firm and boost skin’s elasticity and Argireline Hexapeptide to visibly smooth expression lines.
The Pro Collagen Bounce Moisturizer also has a Marine Samphire Bioactive to boost radiance and smooth texture. with regular use, it will help with the hydration, bounce and plumpness of the skin
Clinical results include :
- +15% skin elasticity vs placebo at 6 weeks
- +12% skin bounce-back at 6 weeks
- −12.4% crow’s feet wrinkle area at 28 days

One thing that is important for me when trying new skincare is how it sits under makeup. I have been a professional makeup artist for 26 years and love to have skincare in my professional kit what will not disrupt the makeup but even enhance how foundation applies and sits on the skin, particularly more mature skin. After trying the ZIIP pro collagen duo for 2 weeks, I have also tried it in combination with lots of different bases, foundation and formulas of makeup and I have had no problems at all with the wear of the makeup – which for me is another big tick.
Another key thing to remember with this and all skincare : you can slowly introduce things into your routine – you don’t necessarily need to drop everything to accommodate a new serum, moisturiser and cleanser if perhaps you already have a moisturiser you love and it is working really well for you – address what you need and add it into your routine. I think we can make things very complicated and intense with skincare these days : it should not be overwhelming or confusing. I have also loved stripping back the many steps in my skincare and keeping it more simple with simple cleansing, one serum and one moisturiser.
ZIIP Skincare : Clinical Testing & Results.
ZIIP skincare has been expertly formulated and along with this it has been clinically tested to prove that the products do work and will improve the way the skin looks. Clinical testing is something I always look at with my skincare because there is a LOT of online discrepancies, influencers pushing certain brands and products (often with huge misinformation and inflammatory claims!) and a lot of skincare products have big promises but under-deliver. Always look to see if and how your skincare has been tested.
ZIIP skincare has been tested by Eurofins and the results are measured by instruments as opposed to surveys which has more accuracy. The results are available to see online and this also can give you that reassurance on how it has been made and what those fancy-sounding ingredients actually do!
ZIIP Skincare Pro Collagen results : Before and After of 2 weeks of use.
I tried these ZIIP skincare products for 2 weeks (and ongoing) to see if it could make a difference in my skin in this small time frame. Here are the before and after images : I have only been using the ZIIP Pro Collagen Firm Serum, the Bounce Moisturiser and the Reset cleanser in the AM. I have also been using a balm cleanser in the PM and SPF in the daytime.
I have taken the images in the same place and in natural lighting with no edits etc just to try and get an accurate representation of how my skin is looking. 2 weeks is only a short time frame to see how skincare can work and ideally you want to give it at least 30-60 days to see the full results but I do think you can definitely see a kick start and some positive changes in my skin already.
What I have noticed after 2 weeks of use : a bit more bounce and glow back into my skin! I am really hoping this is the collagen peptides going to work and I am excited to see and feel the difference already. I think the overall texture and clarity of my skin has definitely improved and I would put this down to maybe the 0.2% retinol in the serum and also the Reset Cleanser which helps to gentle exfoliate every day. Aside from the way my skin looks and feels I have also found it enjoyable to use in terms of the sensory experience, packaging and the instant gratification. I think this is important also as I like to enjoy using and applying my skincare and it then encourages me to be more routine and consistent with it also = better results!
It is a great price point for such a well-formulated and active skincare range. You will get results from using these products and the ingredients are clincially proven and tested. Comparable products I have used similar to these are usually quite a bit more expensive! I hope to see the ZIIP skincare range expanded down the line – it would be good to have an eye cream and a balm cleanser for the PM and makeup removal and perhaps a hydrating essence. Fingers crossed for more to come in 2027.

The ZIIP Halo in a nutshell : This is one of the devices that I absolutely swear by and have been using this for 6 years now. It’s effective, it truly works and there is nothing else quite like it! The ZIIP halo device uses micro currents and nano currents to ??
