...optimistically.

The Lancome Consultant was most persuasive, but this lady had given me good advice and sensible recommendations previously so I was tempted. At the time I was also preparing for my forthcoming wedding so I wanted my skin to be in the best condition possible.

The pump dispenser in fact works very well in that it dispenses a small but adequate amount of the cream and therefore contributes to economic use. It also keeps the contents clean and fresh.

I was reluctant to try this product at first, its not cheap and I wondered if someone of my age (no I'm not saying) really needed a product of this type. "Anti-wrinkle Serum" it says on the container. "Intensive". A little over-the-top for my needs, I thought optimistically.

Well, I tried it and I have continued using it for several months (lasts, this stuff) and I have to say I am impressed with the results. To begin with, as always, the lovely packaging whispers "quality" and the cylindrical container with pump dispenser does so well in giving an impression of well-researched, scientifically created product.

The pump dispenser in fact works very well in that it dispenses a small but adequate amount of the cream and therefore contributes to economic use. It also keeps the contents clean and fresh. The scent is delicate, enough to be pleasant to use but not so much it knocks me over. The consistency is somewhere between fluid and cream. I feels very silky as it is applied and, at least on my own skin, is very quickly absorbed. After application the skin is very smooth and satiny to the touch and not the least greasy. Foundation make-up goes over this cream beautifully and looks smooth and fresh.

But the claims. Anti-wrinkle? Well, I flatter myself that I have no major wrinkles, I bought this product as a prevention more than a treatment but I do confess to the ownership of fine lines and some really quite deep expression lines. And yes, it works. The appearance of the finer lines is reduced and my skin has a smoother appearance. In many months of using this stuff I can honestly say that no further lines have appeared. The deeper creases? Well, they are still there but perhaps a little softer and definitely not getting worse. The general condition and texture of my skin is very good indeed.

Lets not get carried away. This is not Botox and its not surgery, its face cream. But it is effective in my opinion. It is obviously up to the job of smoothing fine lines and leaving skin very soft and fresh and manages to do this without a hint of heaviness or greasiness. It is quite a high initial outlay for a cream but it lasts and does its job well. I would call that good value.
