Our review

An oil-free 50 ml gel cream from Apis’ Ageless Beauty with Progeline line: rose water, sodium hyaluronate and a polymer gel carrying the peptide complex Progeline, a tetrapeptide and two plant extracts. Only one public review was found – positive, describing a light, mattifying summer moisturiser.

Packaging and what the product is

We could not retrieve a product photo from the official apiscosmetics.pl page (it was not accessible to our checks), so no image is quoted here. According to the product name it is a 50 ml day cream with a hydrogel texture – a water-based gel rather than a classic emulsion.

Ingredient analysis

Water and damask rose flower water form the base, followed by propanediol and sodium hyaluronate as humectants. Sodium acrylates copolymer with lecithin creates the gel structure. The “Progeline” complex appears as glycerin & dextran & trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2, followed by tetrapeptide-1, beautyberry (Callicarpa japonica) fruit extract and Kalanchoe pinnata leaf extract. Propylene glycol, phenoxyethanol and caprylyl glycol support preservation, xanthan gum thickens and parfum scents the cream. There are no plant oils or butters.

What to watch out for

The cream contains parfum, though no allergens are declared, and rose water itself has a scent. Peptides like those listed are generally well tolerated, but the INCI does not reveal their concentration, so marketing claims about wrinkles cannot be checked from the list. Without oils, it may feel too light for dry skin in winter; it has no SPF.

What users say

Opinions are very scarce: on Wizaż the cream had a single rating, 5/5 (checked 31 Oct 2026). That reviewer used it alone as a summer day cream and says it really moisturised, absorbed quickly, left skin smooth and glowing, mattified rather than shined and did not clog her pores, which many creams do for her. One review is not enough to generalise.

Who it may suit

Adults with normal, combination or oily skin who like weightless gel textures, especially in warm weather. Those with dry skin or fragrance sensitivity may prefer a richer, unscented cream.
