Advantages: very easy to use, cheap, effective

I had been hearing a lot about this bio oil in newspapers and also from a few friends who had highly recommended it. I do suffer quite a lot from stretch marks and have tried a lot of different products but none with any great degree of success. So i thought i mi9ght as well give this bio oil a try since everyone was raving about it. I have to say i was so impressed with the results that i just use this is my standard moisturizer now. Its absolutely ... Read review

Advantages: Firms up skin, helps make up look fresh
Disadvantages: The price

I absolutely love this product, I've used it for around three years now and is great for when I've had a bit of a crazy night the night before! You only need a small amount (about the size of a 5p piece) and pat it over your face and neck, after cleansing and moisturising. It instantly makes my skin feel firmer and helps my make up to look fresh and glowing. It really wakes my skin up and gives it a great healthy glow that lasts several hours. I ...
...out as I would lost without it. I don't use it everyday, only when I feel my skin looks dull and grey or if I am going out for a day where I want my make up to look in place and vibrant all day, ie. weddings, days out, etc. The only reason I have not given it the full stars is because it is expensive, but personally I do find it worth every penny. ...

Advantages: It lasts for 8 hours. Amazing.
Disadvantages: Without the addition of rose-hip oil, it can feel patchy.

I didn't take to this at first. But started using it a few months after it was given as a present. I don't think it is fantastic on its own, but mixed with a few drops of rose-hip oil it glides on the skin and is the best thing ever. How to use; Apply small amount to end of fingers, add 4 drops of good organic rose-hip oil (I get mine from Goodness Direct) and rub together to warm up and apply to face. This means that the gooey 8 Hour Cream doesn't ... Read review

Advantages: Lightweight, absorbs easily, smells nice, refreshing
Disadvantages: Bit pricey, shame it's in a pot rather than a tube

...have used a lot of Clinique products over the years but this is my favourite by far and one of the few I still use. Launched a few years ago, it reduces puffiness and minimises dark circles and fine lines. It is very lightweight, a creamy gel that is easy to apply and is absorbed instantly. It also helps to hold eye makeup in place. I find it very refreshing which is great in the morning and can notice a visible improvement in the eye area after ...
...at all clinique counters. The price is a bit steep but it is worth it and it has an excellent consistency so a little goes a long way!! The pot it comes in is attractive but I wish it came in a tube or pump as it gets annoying trying to scoop the last bits out of the pot! ... Read review

Advantages: Non invasive, relatively inexpensive, can be successful for some people
Disadvantages: Time consuming & treatment is lengthy and ongoing

...and found this product by Skin Doctors. The reviews seemed quite good so I thought that I would give it a whirl. You really do have to perservere with this product every day to get any result at all. The product needs to be applied to warmly moistened skin, and so is best applied after a bath or shower. The cream itself has a nice moist consistency and massages well into the skin leaving little residue. There is no sensation after application as ...
...below the surface of the skin are meant to fade away and disappear. I followed this practice for four months, but had very little improvement in the visual improvement of the veins themselves. For me, the product did not perform. Some people do experience better results from the cream, but many people choose to resort to treatments such as laser and sclerotherapy which can provide much faster results. ... Read review
