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

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

Good product

Advantages: Less redness
Disadvantages: Does not moisturise enough

I have tried one brand of anti redness cream before (another vitamin K cream similar to this one) with no success - the reason being - I never persevered and this is a must. I have just finished my first jar of "Capillary Clear" but only saw an improvement in week 8 of the treatment. I have quite severe redness and broken capillaries and the redness seemed to have diminished considerably during weeks 7 to 8 of the treatment - but the broken capillaries ...
...buy another jar as I actually thinks this stuff works. I have tried the Avene and Lierac anti-redness range along with numerous less expensive products but with no success. I highly recommend this products even though it takes time to see even a slight result. From what I have seen after 8 weeks of using the product, I will definitely keep on using it. ...

Review of Skin Doctors Capillary Clear Solution

Skin Doctors Stretch Away Cream 200ml

Advantages: Fantastic moisturising properties
Disadvantages: Slightly greasy feeling

I bought this product to banish the tell-tale stretch marks after giving birth to my son. Used after a bath or shower, this product leaves you feeling wonderfully moisturised and although I used the full 200ml tube I didn't notice any discernable difference in the condition of my skin. I felt beutifully moisturised but I found the product left me with a bit of a greasy feeling, as if I'd used an oil as opposed to a cream. It took quite a while to ...
...I don't think I'd buy it again to reduce stretch marks, but as a body moisturiser if anything. I got this product through Amazon for £19.95. I thought I'd treat myself with some Amazon vouchers i got at Christmas. Overall, considering the price of this item, I wouldn't recommend it and it isn't the "wonder-product" that many women are looking for. ...

Review of Skin Doctors Stretch Away Cream

The miracle that is RETANEW!!

Advantages: Smooth, line-free skin
Disadvantages: Slight sensitivity for some users if used too many times in a week

...9 months now and my skin has never looked better. It's line free and completely smooth and toned. The comments I have had are so flattering; I am not joking when I say I have passed time and time again for someone in their 20's. I will use this produce forever, or until something better comes along, but I am quite happy to stick with Retanew! A little goes a long way too, I have only just started using my second jar and always get a bargain on eBay. ...
