Advantages: It really works, lasts ages Disadvantages: None
...I bought this after using and loving the Multi-active toner, but finding that it didn't soothe my skin when I needed it to. It costs around £21 for a 250ml bottle, but as usual shop around and you may be able to find it cheaper.
Dermalogica say this ultra-calming spray is formulated with their exclusive 'Anti-Ozonate Complex' to protect skin from reactive ozone while botanicals immediately reduce irritation, redness and inflammation.

Advantages: Good sun protection, easy to apply Disadvantages: Greasy, doesn't hydrate enough
...with orange spray part, very comfortable to hold, just big enough to fit in one?s hand. The spray has a protective cap which keeps the sand off the sunscreen itself. Too be honest, I have taken it with me without the cap and no sand got to the fluid ? this must be a property of all products in spray format?
Good information on front and back labels ? you can clearly see the SPF number and basic properties of the sunscreen. On the back you can find more detailed information about the properties, how to use the product and also some advice on how to stay safe in the sun.
'"Product look, feel, smell"'
The fluid inside is white in colour and has a rather tick consistency. In spite of that, sprays very well, can be spread easily on your body, doesn?t leave white marks and is also absorbed quickly. It is hypoallergenic and perfume-free (as per...
Advantages: It works, fairly inexpensive Disadvantages: None that I can think of
...I first stumbled across this little miracle cream completely by accident. Approximately six months ago, I bought some Boots No 7 cosmetics, mascara and an eye pencil, if I remember correctly. There was some sort of ?special offer? on at the time, which I wasn?t aware of ? spend £15.00 or more on Boots No 7 cosmetics and you get a free ?gift pack?, consisting of a few different No 7 products, including, nail varnish, moisturising day cream, an eye-brow pencil a make up bag, and Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect Serum.
I took my little booty bag home and over the following few weeks, proceeded to work my way through my bag of freebies. Most of the stuff was fairly run-of-the mill, but when I cam to use my Protect and Perfect Serum, it was another matter. My freebie consisted of an extremely small (5ml) tube of Protect and Perfect Serum...
Advantages: Very moisturising Disadvantages: Not for oily skin
...No 7 protect and perfect
I was on a bit of a cosmetic buying spree the other week, and spurred on by the promise of extra advantage points, I found myself at the Boots No 7 counter.
I bought along with a few other items because I was clutching an extra points voucher, a £5 discount voucher and was additionally enticed by the 3 for 2 offer. For a bargain hunter like me, with the ethos "points make prizes", this was retail heaven!
**What does this promise to do?**
Once again, I am confounded and astounded by the claims, but this one promises " younger looking skin in just 4 weeks".
The unique ingredients will smooth lines and wrinkles, reduce the appearance of pores, and liven up your complexion.
I can never understand how they can promise this, but am still a sucker for advertising every time.
**How does it do this...
Advantages: Conditions, protects hair from build up and damage, gives a shine and helps manage my hair Disadvantages: None really
...This is really a great product It's like aleave on conditioner, hair spritzer or spray and protector in one. When you use it for a few weeks you start noticing the difference in your hair. It stops some of the damage pollution and everyday dirt does to your hair and conditions it with the protein making your hair shine more and have less split ends. In fact when you first use it it makes your hair more manageable and helps hold the style so that it can fall into place. I use this product on and off and I lead a busy lifestyle living in the city It helps protect my hair and lasts through the day At first I used this conditioning spray a few times a day but after a few weeks I found I only needed to use it once or twice a day. I also use it when I'm in the sun to protect my hair from getting damaged by the heat and rays....
Advantages: easy to use, and good protection from burning Disadvantages: can't use on face, pump stoped working when bottle was nearly empty
...I've always used more traditional creams as sun protection, and was a little sceptical as to how much protection would be given by a spray such as this, but was plesantly surprised.
Despite being in 35 degree heat, I did not burn, nor did I peel. The product was easy to use, in particular it was much easier to re-apply during the day (after swimming etc, or just out and about) than a cream would have been.
It wasn't greasy, and didn't cause any skin irritations.
One negative is the pump kept breaking, particularly when the bottle was nearly empty, so we had to decant the remainder of the first bottle into a second to avoid wasting the product.
Also, it's not for facial use, which I didn't realise when I bought it, so you still have to use cream on your face.
All in all, I was pleased with this product, and would...
Advantages: pleasant smell, lasts a long time, easy application, gives hair a good shine Disadvantages: can leave hair looking dull if over applied, fairly expensive
...I bought this product on the recommendation of my hairdresser after growing concerned at the protection other, cheaper, products were giving my hair to frequent straightening with my ghd's.
I was initially impressed by the modern packaging and the fresh, pleasant smell. And only a few squirts gives my hair (thick & shoulder length) adequate protection.
On first application, I found that the product was quite heavy and left my hair looking a bit dull, however since using this product more diffusely, I have not encountered this problem.
I have found that this spray does give good protection to my hair from frequent drying and straightening and prevents the appearance of those dreaded split ends for a good few weeks. It also gives a good, healthy shine to my hair. The bottle also seems to last quite long as you don't need too...
...I bought this product about 6 months ago when I decided that I was no long going to subject my hair to the heat abuse I had been previously putting it through! My hair was getting to the point where it would look similar to when you pass a ribbon through a blade of scissors? (If you love craft you know what I am on about...) and I needed a heat protectionspray so that I could continue straightening my hair (which coincidently is one of the things I need to do everyday to survive through the day...)
When I saw it in my local Boots store I was happily surprised by the cheap price- only £3 for a spray bottle of 200ml- which has only just run out and considering I have shoulder length hair and use it every day that is brilliant!
The application of the product is really easy, the trigger spray top, similar to ones that you would see...
Advantages: Velvety feeling on application Disadvantages: Didn't really see any difference in my skin for the price.
...I first tried the serum when I had spent over £20 on other Boots No.7 products, and received a free gift pack of other No.7 products of which there was a sample size of the protect and perfect serum.
I began using the serum and was amazed at the velvety feeling it left on my skin almost immediately.
I was so keen on the velvet feeling that I went out and bought a full sized tube a week later.
I read the package which said within a few weeks my skin should look much better and believed this based purely on the way my skin felt.
However as the weeks passed I didn't notice any difference in the appearance of my skin.
I continued to use the tube, thinking that maybe it just needed some more time for my skin to get used to a new product.
When the tube finished I quickly bought a new one to continue the regime.
After 2 months of use, I...
Advantages: Does make hair look less greasy Disadvantages: Hair still feels greasy, isn't greatly effective

Why I Bought It
My hair is naturally greasy. So much so, in fact, that if I wash my hair on a morning, it is already greasy again by the time I go to bed at night. There's no way I could EVER go more than a day without washing my hair, I just couldn't bear it. I always use shampoos designed to stop hair becoming greasy too quickly, and whilst they help a little, they don't really make a noticeable difference.
So...
