Elizabeth Arden Ceremide Plump Perfect Moisture Cream SPF15

The nitty-gritty first. The tester of the product on this review is a woman in her mid-50s who, although she ought to know better, went looking for a miracle. Again. This moisturiser normally retails at £42 for a 50ml size. The tester of this product thanks her lucky stars she 'only' paid half the retail price, otherwise she'd have been well and truly 'upset'.

Someone else suggested it smells like natural yoghurt and now I smell it again, I agree! Now, as to results..... well, I just put some more on this morning as its difficult to ... more

I never really bothered too much with moisturising except during the winter when my face always felt really dry, that was until a few years ago I realised how important it was especially as time seemed to be marching it’s way across my face and neck. I used to use Elizabeth Arden’s Visible Difference and had been quite happy with it but most of you will probably know by now just how much of a sucker I actually am when it comes to toiletries and trying out new things, the girl, her name is Ann, at the Elizabeth Arden counter in Boots now knows me by name, she’s lovely and it ... more
