Joey New York Calm & Correct Serum 30ml

Advantages: silky, soft, radiant skin with reduced wrinkles and age spots.
Disadvantages: a bit pricey, but there are bargins to be found.

...I was one of the sceptics when this new "amazing" product hit the news after the independant university research. I waited and waited for the media to shoot down the hipe, but nothing. All I heard was good reviews. I decided that I needed to try it myself, so I searched on ebay to see what bargins I could find. Its about £16 at Boots, and there was no way I was paying that much. I found a really good seller on ebay, and I got the 30ml size, brand new, for £10.80 delivered! Bargin! The first time I used it, I was amazed at how silky it left my skin. As its called "serum", I thought it might be a little greasy, but its not. The texture is lovely, my skin is soft and radiant, and my age spots seem lighter after only a week and a half. If you only buy 1 luxury product, let it be this one. 100% recommended!... Read review

Advantages: Does what is says on the box
Disadvantages: None

...Does what it says on the box - my skin, especially under the eyes, definitely feels more resilient. I wear it under a tinted moisturiser because my face looks better with a bit of colour but your skin straightaway feels moistened as soon as you apply Protect and Perfect. I'd tried much more expensive serums before when they came in a 'goody' bag along with other purchases - Gatineau, Dior - but was never able to see or feel any difference in my skin. However, I prefer the original pump action bottle to the new tubes - the bottle works so much better in the bathroom. Luckily I still had one so topped it up from the new tube. The amount is supposedly the same - 30ml - but it came nowhere near the top of the bottle. Odd. A Boots assistant told me the change wasn\'t to save money on packaging but because they had run out...

Advantages: Makes the hair look and feel great
Disadvantages: Has to be used at least 30 minutes before going out.

...Avon have released a new dry end serum, it is specifically made to help to calm split ends and make the hair look and feel good. I have used it now for the last 3 weeks and am delighted with the way my hair feels and the comments on how good my hair looks. It comes in an environmentally friendly bottle with a pump spray and is easy to use. Just spray a little into the palm of your hand and smmoth in to the hair. The fragrance is also very nice and not too overpowering. My hair feels good and is left with a healthy shine. On the down side, you must use it at least half a hour before going out as it makes the hair look greasy while the product is wet, dont worry though, this dries out and you are left with sleek, shiny hair....
