serum

Advantages: great serum lasts a long time
Disadvantages: n/a

...This is the best product I have tried for frizzy hair and the only one I buy again and again, it's a really great product, I love majority of all tigi hair products, this is by far the best for keeping my course and curly hair straight or non frizz. The fruity pineapple flavour is great. The Serum keeps curls in check or straightens them out with this humidity resistant serum. The lightweight, non greasy serum will condition and moisturize your hair and prevent embarrassing frizz. I find you need to be careful with this product as you only need a few drops otherwise it makes your hair look greasy and dirty and you do not want that. Control Freak Serum combats frizz. It has lightweight greaseless properties that provides a glossy straight finish and fights humidity to maintain the hair uniformity. Your hair will feel silky...

Review of TIGI Bed Head Control Freak Serum

ghd serum

Advantages: great product
Disadvantages: n/a

...GHD products if you love the hair straightners you will not be dissappointed with the styling products that they have on offer as well. There are not the cheapest hair products but they are not the most expensive either, but in my opinoin they are value for money and worth every penny. The GHD Shining Serum is for dry frizzy hair and it will help to maintain your dry and frizzy hair in keeping it under control whilst giving you hair a shiny sheen to it as well. It will seal split ends by smoothing the cuticle whilst also protecting your hair from the heat of the straightners and the sun light which is very damaging to your hair. For the best results apply to your blow dried hair for maximum shine, but I apply to your damp hair before drying to make sure i get maximum protection from my hairdryer as well. Use with the other products...

Review of GHD Shining Serum 50ml

Why Is It Called Serum?

Advantages: Relatively inexpensive, does smooth and moisturise skin.
Disadvantages: Spots! Chemical smell.

...The BBC programme "Horizon" has a lot to answer for. Earlier this year it broadcast an investigation into the anti-aging properties of a variety of creams and potions, and * shock horror * announced that one of the products it tested actually seemed to work. That product was Boots No 7 Protect & Perfect Beauty Serum. Cue women flocking to Boots in their thousands. Except me. I have always been very sceptical about the anti-aging claims made by beauty products, and even though "Horizon" is generally considered a serious, ethical programme, I wasn't struck by its findings. I continued happily with the Sanctuary moisturiser that I had been using for years. Until two things happened. My two sisters in laws, both older than me (in their forties and fifties respectively) started using it. The older one lives in a hot country and she...

Palmers scar serum rules!

Advantages: reduces,even removes scars
Disadvantages: not cheap,smells a bit like fish

...A recent accident left me with a chemical burn on my right cheek. Naturally I was concerned that I would be left with a huge scar on my face, so I went to see my local pharmacist to ask her advice. She recommended this to me as apparently the higher the concentration of vitaimin E, the greater the scar reducing properties. I gave it a go as I have used Palmers cocoa butter before and I knew that worked. The packaging. It comes in a small glass bottle, it's really sturdy so you don't need to worry about dropping it! It has a pump dispenser which, as the serum is so thick, can be a bit hard. The ingredients. The main ingredients in this are Vitamin E (1000) which are renowned for their scar reducing abillities. The second most ingredient is Shark Liver oil, which stimulates collagen production, helping the skin to heal...

Boots magic serum (updated)

Advantages: it makes you feel pampered
Disadvantages: it's difficult to get hold of at the moment

...I first discovered this product about a year ago when I received a makeover from the N07 consultant in boots. I ended up buying all of the products she had used on me (i think that's the general idea of them giving you a makeover) but then i went a bit crazy and bought a load of other N07 stuff too including protect and perfect serum. when i got home i made myself a coffee and decided to show my mum all the goodies i'd just bought. on opening the box containing the protect and perfect i found a slender glass bottle containing the 'magic cream' as i've heard people call it. i put a little bit on my hand and it felt like silk, it was also quite a hot day so it was very cooling on my skin too. it rubs in very easily and you don't need to use very much at all to cover your whole face. it doesn't have a fragrance as all N07 products are...

Review of Boots No.7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum

Silky smooth serum!

Advantages: Very smooth, nice texture
Disadvantages: Feels a little weird at first, need an additional moisturiser

...This serum definitely has a very nice application and only a little bit is needed. I received my sample, as with many of the Boots products I review, as part of a free gift (I love Boots and buy all my make-up there, entitling me to many special offers). My skin can get quite dry and I like, for my face especially, to be well moisturised as it helps when applying make up and also feels and looks better naturally. I want a face moisturiser that is light and easy to apply / absorb, which doesn't give you spots or irritate your skin. I don't want something too highly fragranced, either, as I don't want to use too many chemicals. Boots advise that you use the Protect & Perfect Beauty Serum before using the Protect & Perfect Day Cream (SPF 15). I would also advise this, as although the serum makes your skin smooth, it doesn't provide enough...

Skin Burning Serum

Advantages: Nothing at all
Disadvantages: Damaged skin

...I started using the serum 3 weeks ago, I didnt notice any change at all within the first few days. Then in the second week I developed extremely dry skin around my nose, on my chin and on my forehead. I continued to use it for another couple of days thinking my skin would get used to it. Rather than getting better the dry skin around my nose actually started seep. I went into the store for advice and she told me to stop using my ROC moisturiser with this product as it has retinol in it also. I was told at the time of purchase using ROC would be fine. I have not used the serum for about 5 days now and I am still suffering with bright red patches in the same areas and the area around my nose is still seeping. I am 29 years old and normally have combination skin (dry/oily) I would not recommend this product to anybody as I feel it has...

Sumptuous Serum

Advantages: Gorgeous smell, does the trick
Disadvantages: pricey

...with. It is very fruity and refreshing. The bottle is 350ml, which will last you forever as only the smallest amount need be applied for great results. So although the original outlay of £11 is a lot, you do receive a lot of the product. I know I would rather spend more for something that works, but as I also said earlier, even for me it is a lot to justify spending. The serum itslef is light green in colour with tiny glitter pieces in it. These don't show up in your hair, so you need not worry that you will look like you are going to a school disco or christmas party every time you apply it. The texture is thick and slimy in your hands, but it is hardly noticeable in the hair after application. One inconvenience is buying the product as it is sold exclusively in salons. However, I have seen it everywhere I go, so...

Decleor Hydrotenseur Eye Serum - A "MUST HAVE" !

Advantages: A fantastic firming eye product which does deliver what it claims
Disadvantages: Disadvantages: The pump!, can be a little expensive but one month on, one off helps

...Decleor Eye Contour Firming Serum - I LOVE this serum. There comes a time in every woman´s life when her eyes seem to get smaller, eye shadow does not go on so well and the dreaded "hooded" look starts to appear - this is the time to buy this tried and tested Decleor Firming Serium. It is a cool smooth textured liquid gel which you should use twice daily for a month and then give yourselves a month off (try NOT to get addicted to using it all the time!) A little goes a long way and a tiny almost rice size pump is enough - this is the only problem, the pump alwayas seems to give out just a little too much, and with the cost, one hopes Decleor may address this matter. In short it is a firming and moisturising serum especially designed to lift and moisturise the delicate eye areaa dual-action moisturising and firming effect, helping to keep...

Review of Decleor Hydrotenseur Eye Contour Firming Serum

Protect & Perfect Beauty Serum - Wow, it actually works!!!

Advantages: Really does work, softens and tones skin.
Disadvantages: Can be expensive

...Protect & Perfect Beauty Serum is probably one of No 7's most famous products. It shot to fame in 2007 after the BBC's Horizon investigated the claims made by anti-ageing products such as this. The show studied various creams and serums, amazingly they found that No 7's beauty serum actually works! It reduces the signs of aging caused by sun damage! This revelation ended up with a 2000% increase in sales and an average of 13 bottles being sold every minute! It took weeks for Boots to manage to keep up with the demand for this miracle product. It is still an extremely popular product today and they regularly seem to run out at my local Boots. I started using the serum around 3 years ago, I have never bought a bottle but I have never run out. No, I don't have a very generous other half, I am addicted to No 7's goody bags. I...
