Face Creams & Treatments

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

Cream worth its price

Advantages: works by fading skin red areas
Disadvantages: smell

I was actually quite surprised with this product as it said that it needed several weeks to work, however, it worked over night for me. I have a fair complexion and I put it on at night and the next morning it had definitely lightened areas around my nose, any freckles and sun spots. A pleasant surprise. The cream itself is a little heavy when you put it on; it says on the product that you can wear it during the day or under make up. I wouldn't-- ...

Review of Fade Out Active Fade Cream

Expensive but worth it

Advantages: Rich and versatile product
Disadvantages: Expensive

I have been using Bio Oil for around two months now for treatment of my stretch marks. They are currently quite new and so are red and prominent - if you are going to treat them with a product this is the best time, the earlier the better. I use it once in the evening after a bath, not much is needed and it doesnt absorb immediately but you don't need much which means it lasts a good month when using on one or two small areas. I have noticed my stretch ...
...expect miracles, i have tried a few products and many do not help atall but as well as lightening my stretch marks Bio oil has improved the condition of my skin greatly, it adds lots of moisture and improves skin tone. To dramatically improve the appearance of stretch marks i would recommend using this product over 6 months, i buy 60ml per month which sells at around £8,m depending on where it is purchased from. As well as stretch marks it is also ...

Review of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

A staple for every girls make up bag!

Advantages: Great for tired skin and also can be used as an intensive moisture face pack
Disadvantages: if you rub the cream instead of allowing to absorb into your skin it will flake

Clarins Beauty Flash Balm has now become one of my make up ritual musts. It did exaclty what it promised and gave my skin an instant lift. I tried it around the eye area without any problems regarding sensitivity and also took the manufacturers advise of using it as an intense overnight face rehydrating mask, here I feel it needs to be used on a more consistant basis to see any visible results! It has a great natural plant smell and absorbs fairly ...
...you apply your make up too soon afterwards it flakes, so do allow to absorb fully! My two older daughters also use Beauty Flash Balm as they find it a great skin boost after late nights! They also buy there own now after having had more than one dressing down for taking mine! Finally it is great to see a skincare product on the market that transends age, I like my products to tell me what they do and not what age group I fall into! ...
