Face Creams & Treatments

All in one miracle cream!

Advantages: many products in 1, saves money, rubs in easily
Disadvantages: expensive on the high street

...I started using the Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream because of all the fantastic reviews it had, and I must say it fulfilled all of the expectations I had plus more. It truly is a miracle cream and is affordable. Being the well known brand of Elizabeth Arden you can find it in most department stores and high street stores such as Boots however I would recommend buying it online as you will find it’s a lot cheaper. On the CheapSmells website you can ...
...feet and elbows • Even though Elizabeth Arden do a specific 8 hour hand cream I find this product works just as well. • I have also used it can be used on hair but I have not tried this out personally. With all these uses can you really afford not to buy it? It combines all your creams and remedies in one. One of the main reasons I like this cream is because it isn’t greasy and rubs in easily. Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream is a true miracle! ...

Review of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

Bio Oil - A good all round product

Advantages: Specialist product, easily avaliable at chemists or supermarkets, natural
Disadvantages: Expensive (but will last a long time)

Anyone who has ever suffered some kind of skin defect like scarring or stretch marks will often understand how bad scars left over from any life experiences that cause scars like pregnancy and acne can leave someone feeling. Personally, when I was younger I did suffer from moderate acne and I have a couple of scars left over from spots I tried to pick. One thing I do like about Bio Oil is that it is natural, as I have found natural products to be ...
...claim to fight spots and redness and so on, but in truth really I found that they only made my face worse. Ever since I started using natural remedies, I found that they worked much better and now I have very few breakouts, it's just the scars left I have to remove... Having seen the adverts for Bio Oil and hearing about it working wonders I decided to give it a try, despite the price (I paid £8 for a 60ml bottle) it does seem to be doing some good, ...

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

Skin Doctor's Gamma Hydroxy Forte

Advantages: It really does what it claims!
Disadvantages: It's a bit pricey

...am 34 with rather oily skin and the occasional breakout. According to what I read on the net, this cream was originally designed to treat acne scarring, but it proved to also reduce fine lines and improve skintone. In short: I love this cream. My skin has gotten very smooth and I rarely have breakouts anymore. My sunspots have nearly gone too. I do find that if I do not use the cream for a few days my skin returns to it's old state, so beware, ...
...and leaves my skin feeling smooth and soft. I use it at night, as it tends to make my oily skin a bit shiny. The smell is quite unique. I like it, it's rather herbal. My husband (who loves the smell) says it reminds him of pipe tobacco. Okaaay. The cream also comes in Forte. It's recommended that you use the original cream for a few months before switching to the Forte, but I started using the Forte straight away. I have noticed no side effects, ...

Review of Skin Doctors Gamma Hydroxy Skin Resurfacing Cream

Made No Difference

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Ineffective, Requires long term application, leaves skin slimy

Having like so many others I bought this product after reading its fantastic claims and somewhat mixed reviews and all I can say is IT DONT WORK!!. Now let me tell you why, I have a small red mark on face (telangiectasis) and got this to help with it. I used it for 8 months (following the instructions) and after all the time it made absolutely no difference. So if you’re considering purchasing this take the manufactures claims with a pinch ...
...positive thing that can be said about it is that it you can use it as a moisturiser (although I found it somewhat slimy). As a final note: after further research it seems that there is no cream or product that has been proven to effectively remove unsightly veins etc.. and the only effective methods are laser surgery and the likes. ...

Review of Skin Doctors Vein Away Plus

Love this!

Advantages: Makes your skin feel refreshed and radiant. Can be applied over make up for quick pick me up.
Disadvantages: Bit expensive

I bought a sample size version of this from ebay for 99p as I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Although it is very expensive and not exactly an essential I think it is a great product, and definitely one that will be a regular on my xmas list! It is recommended that you apply it with finger tips either under or over make up. I mainly use it as a pick me up/refresher before reapplying make up to go out for the evening and I do notice an ...
...The main effect is the way it makes your skin feel - refreshed, soft and moisturised, and the smell is lovely too. I work long hours starting early in the morning, and it has been very useful for giving my skin an extra boost when the early starts are taking their toll and my skin is feeling tired and dull! It also doesn't interfere with your make up if you apply it carefully so it is great for making you feel like you've splashed your face with ...
