Dermalogica Multi Active Toner- all skin types

Advantages: Lasts ages, refreshing, easy to apply, no need for cotton wool, great for the skin
Disadvantages: Cost

...Dermalogica Mulit Active Toner can be used on any skin type. It comes in a useful pump action type bottle which you can spritz on. It is light, refreshing and hydrates your skin and smooths the surface. It has a pleasant smell and contains lavender, mint and arnica to help condition the skin and prepare it for more moisture absorption. It conatins no artificial fragrance or colour. After cleansing you can spritz this spray all over your face and neck. You need to keep your eyes closed for this. Dermalogica then suggest that you follow this imediately with their moisturiser. I use this product every day along with the anti bac facewash and moisturiser. As a teenager having been prone to acne I was brought this as a present. I was a little disaponited with my gift but after trying it I was really pleased as my problemed...

Review of Dermalogica Multi Active Toner

8 Hour multi-tasking cream

Advantages: Unlimited uses
Disadvantages: pricey but worth it

...A friend introduced me to this cream while we were travelling on bisiness together to America. I am now a convert - I love the smell, although I do think it grows on you ... don't expect to love it at first sniff! But most of all, I love it for its multi-tasking uses. A brill lipgloss - I hate dry lips - and Eight Hour Cream lasts longer than the normal lip balm. Fantastic dry skin eliminator. Better than any other I have tried ... try it on your hands and feet overnight. Wear loose cotton socks / gloves and wake up feeling extra soft in the morning. The best athletes foot cure I've found. (I believe it was manufactured initially to soothe horses' hooves) For itchy rashes,mosquito bites and sunburn - this is your answer to all! Pack it into your holiday cosmetic bag before you leave. You'll be glad you did...

Review of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

A cream for all seasons

Advantages: Moisturises, nice texture
Disadvantages: Design of jar

...I have been using Clarins Multi Active Day Cream for the past 4 years & find that it is a great day cream for all year round. The cream comes in a white & red jar which is typical of the Clarins 'design'. The picture above shows the 'old style' jar which has now been replaced by one a slightly different shape. I use the one for 'all skin types', but it is also available for Dry Skin. A 30ml jar lasts me approx 4 months. The only thing wrong with the design of the jar is the fact that you have to stick your fingers in the jar to get the product out. If you have long nails the cream goes under them & you end up having to get the nail brush out! It would be better if it came in a 'pump action' design like their Engergising Morning Cream. It smells quite floral but not sickly & it is absorbed almost immediatley. You only need...

Review of Clarins Protection Plus Multi-Active Day Cream For All Skin Types

Overperfumed and overpriced

Advantages: Looks a nice tub on your bathroom shelf
Disadvantages: Didn't moisturise and smells like aftershave

...I really like Clarins products and I've had some nice lotions and potions from them over the years. I was given a tester of this night moisturising cream from the nice lady over the counter as they are quite pricey and I like to know it's going to suit my skin before I shell out the £39.00 they were asking! The bottle is a lovely dark blue and white design, modern and easily distinguished from the day cream. It's packaged as prevention plus Multi-Active Night Cream Youthful Vitality (which sounds great). After cleansing my skin as per the instructions I opened the bottle to a really strong hit of masculine smelling scent. The smell was quite overwhelming which put me off a little as I generally try to stay away from heavily perfumed products. I persevered with the moisturiser and applied it anyway but by this time the smell was...

Review of Clarins Multi Active Night Cream Prevention Plus

The one specially for dry skin...

Advantages: Particularly pleasant to use
Disadvantages: Doesn't offer protection from the sun's rays, but the range has versions that do.

...? ago and loved it, but was put off by the price. I?ve decided now that you get what you pay for and Clarins is definitely good value for money. I use the Multi-Active Day Cream for Dry Skin. There is another cream for all skin types and you need to make sure you get the right one because the pots look the same. It comes in a small glass pot and I like this because you can scoop out the exact amount you want to use and there is none wasted at the end because it?s got stuck in the corner of a tube. It is perfumed, but in a light and pleasant way and spreads very easily over the skin. A little goes a long way and I find one 50ml pot will last nearly 3 months, using it on my face and neck. The most important thing about the cream for me is that it makes my skin feel comfortable and this feeling doesn?t wear off during the day. What...

Clarins Night Lotion - makes you feel special!

Advantages: Makes your skin soft, a nice treat
Disadvantages: Quite expensive!

...I really like this night cream from Clarins. I was lucky enough to get this as a present (because I know it is very expensive at a crazy £39 for 50ml from Boots) I find it quite nice to have a different moisturising cream to put on at night than I use in the day. Quite a lot of high street department stores such as Boots, Debenhams and John Lewis stock this, so it is quite readily available. It is also easy to find it on the internet. It is meant to be applied in the evening on cleansed skin just before you go to bed. The cream itself is quite runny, almost like a white runny gel. It is really easy to apply and does not irritate or make my skin tingle. It also absorbs in to the skin quite quickly. It makes the skin seem really soft and it is meant to make your skin seem firmer when you wake up. It is also meant to boost...

Review of Clarins Multi Active Night Cream Prevention Plus

Soft, Dewy skin ALL day

Advantages: A lovely well absorbed day cream
Disadvantages: Pricey, but an essential for Clarins buffs!

...Clarins- Multi-Active Jour, Multi Active Day Cream. I bought this on special offer in Debenhams for £15 for 20ml tube. I thought I would treat myself to a different day cream than my usual Elemis one. My mum recommended the Clarins. The Packaging is fairly distinctive, a white tall box with red writing on. This is trade mark Clarins. The product labelling on the box ias predominantly in French, with translations in German and English. This particular cream has "protection plus" and is suitable for all skin types. There is a cream for dry skin too. I am a little wary of expensive skin products as I have used cheaper alternatives which are nice, but htis is definitely a cut above my other creams. On the box it claims be bio/hydro thermal/Tensio and Photo regulating. This is basically a regulating cream for the changes...

DermaNova Active Care Skin Cream

Advantages: It works. Natural ingredients. Steroid-free. Coal tar-free. Paraben-free. Non-greasy. Creamy.
Disadvantages: Slight fishy smell. £19 for 50ml (but worth it!)

...more to do with the delay than anything else. Anyway, the first thought I had when I received my sample was that the 5ml sachet they sent me wasn't much to test it with. I was wrong. I have a reoccuring patch of eczema on my arm and the cream magically took care of it less than an hour! It was incredible. It was like I'd never had it. The cream is just so lovely on your skin as well. It is quickly absorbed so you aren't left with that horrible greasiness that you get from most other treatment creams. Believe me, I've tried them all over the years. DermaNova has a delicious creamy feel to it that leaves your skin extremely soft and condition-free. That's my experience. If you have eczema or psoriasis then sadly it is never going to go away for good. For whatever reason, it always come back. The best you can do is control it and for that I...

Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym

Advantages: sturdy, strong, robust, attractive, compact
Disadvantages: difficult to assemble, not as much fun as it could be

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Most crèches or children?s play areas seem to have one of these activity gyms and they looked bright and colourful so we decided to get one for my brothers first birthday. The activity gym as shown in the picture is made up of four side panels, each with holes in for the child to climb through. There is a small bright pink slide and a blue floor, which the children can go under or climb on to go down the slide. As we unpacked the activity gym it looked relatively simple to assemble, as it was really just a case of slotting the panels together but don?t be fooled! It was not at all easy to assemble although the only consolation is that if it was that difficult to put together its going to be near impossible for it to fall apart! The brightly...

I'm an Activ-Futur user!

Advantages: Works really well, isn't too expensive, smells nice
Disadvantages: Not for those who don't like perfumed moisturises

...The Activ Futur range belongs to the L'Oreal paris Dermo-Expertise range and it consists of a cleansing wash, cleansing wipes, cleansing milk, toner and moisturiser. The product I am going to be focusing on in this review is the moisturiser which is otherwise known as Activ Futur Multi-protection healthy glow creme (quite a mouthful don't you think!). *** About the Moisturiser *** Activ Futur Multi-protection healthy glow creme is a moisturiser specially designed for dry skin.
