Advantages: Great overall product that does the job properly! Disadvantages: I haven't found any yet
I am of the opinion that a skin care routine should not rule your life, in fact my skin care routine was non-existant until I discovered this moisturiser. I tried so many different regimes, each promising to give me fantastic skin and found that I ended up with blemishes and skin conditions I never had before.

I thought it was too hard to believe too, but was surprised and pleased enough to change forever! It also has Vitamin E, pro-vitamin B5 and a UV filter. I can't say that I have a clue what pro-vitamins etc do but if thats what is making my skin feel nourished and rosy then thats fine by me!

I am of the opinion that a skin care routine should not rule your life, in fact my skin care routine was non-existant until I discovered this moisturiser. I tried so many different regimes, each promising to give me fantastic skin and found that I ended up with blemishes and skin conditions I never had before.
I tried this on the off-chance and was surprised at the results. Used daily the gentle fruit AHA's will shed dead skin and give you a more glowing complexion - sound like an advert? I thought it was too hard to believe too, but was surprised and pleased enough to change forever! It also has Vitamin E, pro-vitamin B5 and a UV filter. I can't say that I have a clue what pro-vitamins etc do but if thats what is making my skin feel nourished and rosy then thats fine by me!
The cream has a satisfying consistency for me, not runny and not too thick, although on hot days you may get a bit of a shiny nose because it is a thorough moisturiser. Don't panic at this, I still use it every day and have never got blemishes even in the heat.
When you first start to use it you may get a couple of dry patches, this is the AHA's going to work and should go within a week. (AHA's are like a fruit acid that gently removes rubbish - and possibly wrnkles girls! - from the skin). I would consult your doctor if you have problem skin, just in case the AHA's react unpleasantly - or do a skin test.
The smell is OK, I'm not a lover of fragranced creams and this isn't as bad as most because its quite light and pleasant - quite a fresh smell.
Overall I think I'll pass on the expensive products, the gimmicky gear and the shop brands (I've tried Clinique, Body Shop, Simple amongst others) as I've found this works the best for me and at around £6.00 for a pot that lasts about 3 weeks the price is quite good. I even went out and bought the overnight regenerating cream!
Advantages: Stops dry flakey patches on cheeks and nose Disadvantages: none
There are some really expensive moisturisers on the market, but this one is reasonably priced and does the same job. Over the years I have tried loads of different face creams but I have finally found one that I am happy with and I'm sticking to it.
It is lovely to put onto your face and feels just right, not too thick or sticky and it is not overpowering as the fragrance is very subtle.
For even better results use the 3in1 moisturising facial ...

Advantages: Very light, non-oily, great make-up base, smells nice, isnt costly, lasts long Disadvantages: Cant say i can think of any.
This product has got to be the best I have used yet. it feels very light on your skin, doesnt make it greasy or shiny and keeps it feeling smooth all day. I have never looked back after starting to use this product. The Vitamin C one is gorgeous in smell also and even looks delicious, perhaps to eat if on the verge of starvation!
It is great value for money and you dont need a lot. Infact, I dont usually have to reapply it at all and my face never ...

...I bought a bottle of Garnier Vitamin Radiance Daily moisterising fluid. The bottle states that 'it is for you if you want to boost the radience of your skin and if you are concerned about premature skin againg.' The fluid contains fruit AHA's which remove dead skin cells from the surface, allowing a more radiant, smoother, younger looking skin to glow through. It also contains vitamin B5 to improve the skin's smoothness and UV protection and vitamin ... ...fluid is quite watery and sinks into the skin very easily without leaving a greasy finish. Although the fluid contains fruit AHA's it does not have a strong fragrance. For the first few days when I touched my face around the jawline deadskin came off (a bit like sunburn), but after about a week this stopped and my face began to look more moisteried. I guess this was the AHA's doing thier work.
I have now used this product for a month and my face ...

I really hate moisturisers that leave your face feeling greasy, so I was really pleased with the vitamin radiance moisturising cream when I first tried it.Not only is it made with natural ingredients, it contains AHA's to gently remove dead skin cells, so over a period of time it makes your skin look and feel softer and younger looking, it also has a UV filter, which I was really surprised about because I thought it was only the really expensive ...

Advantages: Lovely smell, nice texture, good value Disadvantages: Shape of packaging makes it difficult to extract every last drop.
I decided to splash out on something other than a bog-standard own-brand moisturiser a few months before my wedding and this one was not as drastically expensive as some and had attractive packaging. It has a very pleasant fragrance - neither clinical nor artificially perfumed but fresh and natural. The texture is nice and creamy without being too stodgy or runny and after a week or so, my skin felt generally smoother and more healthy, but as far ... ...used it through the winter (during which I was out in all weathers looking after my horse) and found that my skin didn't get anywhere near as dry as it has in previous years.
The product lasted over a month and was less than three pounds, which I though was good value for money seeing as it actually worked.
The cream itself I have no complaints with, but the plastic bottle has slightly concave sides and this makes it quite difficult to get the ...
