Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream - At last a product i Like

Advantages: A little goes a long way, has improved my skins appearance
Disadvantages: Probably a little pricey

...Finally, oh finally, after years of trying this and trying that, i have found a face moisturiser that i love. I was sent this product to trial for one month, to be used twice daily, morning and night. I received a "medium-weight cream that maintains skins moisture balance while improving its texture. Deep-moisturizing Lecithin and Aloe Gel nourish while extracts of Mallow, Cucumber and Arnica soothe and hydrate the skin, helping to restore suppleness and tone. Antioxidant Grape Seep Extract plus vitamins A,C and E help sheidl skin from environmental assaults. Contains no artificial fragrance or colour" You only need a small amount as a little goes a long way. On first opening and using i noticed it had a clinical smell. But to me it was not unpleasant and smelt quite expensive. I have very dry skin and this was perfect, not too...

Review of Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream

8 hours to smooth skin!

Advantages: fantastic product, cost effective, versatile, great results
Disadvantages: slightly messy

...comes in a white tube with screw top. The orange colour gel is tacky to touch, but does sink in eventually (so bear with it). I use it on my hands and cuticles and get better results than any hand cream. I've also used it on sunburn, (as long as it's not severe) abrasions (not open wounds) and as an all purpose balm/moisturiser! You can put it over lipstick or make up as a gloss too. My top tip however, is to use it at night, but....If you are trying to impress someone don't go to bed with this on your face as it's not attractive! I use a thin layer on my lips, cheeks, forhead, nose with a thicker layer around my eyes. After leaving this on all night (use an old pillow case in case it rubs off) you wake ip with lines smoothed, skin plumped and rehydrated. I did this on sunburn last year (which calmed it down overnight...

Review of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

Silky smooth skin

Advantages: Instantly makes skin feel nice
Disadvantages: Smell

...I was in Ethel Austin the other day and I had a quick look at the cheapy cosmetics bit and saw some Almay products. I had never used Almay before or really heard anything about it but I had heard of it. This bottle of Skin Smoothing Refinisher was there for just 2 pounds so I decided it was worth a try. It comes in a small squeezy tube but you do not need to put a lot on and for the price it's a decent size. The first thing I noticed was the smell, it has quite a strong chemical smell which I was intially put off by but the smell does not linger so once you have applied the product you don't notice it. Besides, you are supposed to follow up using this with moisturiser so you will just smell your moisturiser anyway. I applied a little to my hand and instantly noticed how silky, soft and smooth it felt compared with my other...

Review of Almay Skin Smoothing Refinisher

Smooth Skin

Advantages: Clinique products work!
Disadvantages: Expensive

...bacteria at bay, preventing spots forming in the first place. The "Mild" and "No. 1" lotions are recommended for people with skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Personally, I suffer from eczema and have been using Clarifying Lotion No. 2 for 6 years with a great deal of success and no bad reactions so far. The higher numbers have a higher alcohol content. When you first start using Clarifying Lotion, it feels a bot strange. There is a cold sensation (caused by evaporation of the alcohol), and it can sting a little (though not in a bad way, just that it feels like something is happening!). This latter sensation only happens the first few times you use the product and disappears after a while, as your skin gets used to it. After using the Clarifying lotion, my skin feels lovely and smooth and clean. Years ago, I remember using...

Review of Clinique 3 Step Skin Care

Smooth & Clear Skin with Purepotions Skin Salvation

Advantages: Clears eczema, prevents dry skin, relieves itching
Disadvantages: Its on the pricey side, leaves skin quite greasy

...I was pointed in the direction of Purepotion products by a family friend who swore to me their products were the best for those suffering from eczema. I was very reluctant to begin with as the products on their website are not cheap, I have spent many years spending money on various eczema products meaning funds have become increasingly low! I decided to take the plunge and try one of their most popular products which was the purepotions skin salvation. ~~The Packaging~~ The product comes in a green coloured glass jar with a screw top lid. The packaging holds all the relevant information regarding the ingredients included and the claims by the company. One of the things that struck me about the packaging was the statement that it helped most sore skin conditions without the use of steroids. I have regularly needed creams...

Review of Purepotions Skin Salvation

Smoothes your skin and your purse.

Advantages: Leaves skin soft, saves time, no need to buy body scrub so saves you money!
Disadvantages: Might be a little too harsh for some people, you need to moisturise afterwards.

...I have been using body polish for several months now and love it there is no question but I also need to use a scrub every few weeks to keep my skin as soft as I like so when I came across this product I thought that it was definitely worth a try. This smooth and renew body loofah mitt looks similar to oven gloves if I am honest, you know those ones, which have an opening for your hands at either end and then have the fabric in between. It is as thought someone has cut the end off of one of them. This is cream and nothing to look at really, hardly a work of art. With towelling fabric one side and the loofah side the other you can put it on your hand either way round for either a soft wash or a good hard scrubbing. The idea is you use it in a similar way to a sponge, apply some shower gel or soap and off you go. When dry...

• For sweet, smooth skin!

Advantages: Great results, smells lovely
Disadvantages: None!

...range from the people at Garnier. The body care range comprises of: ♥ bodyrepair ♥ bodycocoon ♥ bodytonic Sugar Scrub is part of the bodytonic range. The main aim of the products in this range seems to be to tone and smooth the skin, leaving it firm and cellulite-free (there are two specific anti-cellulite products in the range). *Appearance* A lot of the bodytonic products are in yellow or orange packaging - this is not really that different - the actual packaging is a transparent tube with a flip-top cap which forms the base. The product inside is yellow. The tube stands at around 14cm (5½inches) high and at 4cm (1½inches) in diameter, the lid forms a sturdy base. The tube contains 150ml. The lid isn't too difficult to open, although I did just try to unscrew the whole lid and now my hand hurts :( There...

Review of Garnier Skin Naturals bodytonic Sugar Scrub

Estee Lauder. Such lovely smooth skin!

Advantages: Really hydrates the skin, feels nice, has an spf
Disadvantages: A bit pricey!

...I bought this cream at the duty free shop at the airport because I had forgotten to take moisturiser with me on holiday. I picked it out because I have used and like Estee Lauder products in the past and I have to say I feel completely the same about this one! I sometimes get dry skin and this cream is absolutely wonderful. It is especially good with all the cold weather we've been having recently! The cream itself is really thick, which I really like in a moisturiser as I feel like it is really doing something to my skin. It is really easy to apply and quickly absorbs in to the skin and leaves no oily residue. My skin feels really hydrated after I have used it and it really seems to help with the dry skin I get. It is also anti-wrinkle cream which is a plus too! The moisturiser is meant to reduce lines and wrinkles, which...

Review of Estee Lauder Future Perfect Anti-Wrinkle Radiance Cream SPF 15 (Dry Skin)

Thermal Polished Skin to Look Smooth and Lovely

Advantages: Gives a smooth feel and appearance to skin
Disadvantages: not to be used if you don't like products that warm up

...I recently used up the last of my facial wash product I was using (Biore warming Blackhead Cleanser - see my reviews for rating etc *shameless plug*) and even though I had been really impressed I had been reading great things about this new product on the market on a website and when I spotted it on half price at Boots well it would have been rude to have said no really wouldn't it. So after reading the blurb on the back of the packet I picked up the 125ml tube of Olay Regenerist Daily Thermal Skin Polisher and stuck into my basket. Now as I say I have read great reports from people on another website I go on about this product. How it makes skin look smooth and clear and fresh as a daisy. I wondered how much of the hype would actually be true! Coming from the makers of Oil of Ulay the original beauty fluid which rebranded...

Lovely Smooth Skin!

Advantages: Gives a really good clean
Disadvantages: A bit expensive!

...I bought this exfoliating cleanser in the tax-free in the airport since I always tend to stock up on nice beauty products there! I had tried some Clarins products before and liked them so I thought I would give this a go. The cleanser has tiny little exfoliating beads in it to really give your skin a good clean. I absolutely love it. The cleanser didn't dry out my face but instead feels really smooth and clean and my skin didn't feel oily at all. Watch out you don't get any near your eyes (I got an exfoliating bead in my eye and it took all of 10 hours to get out again!) very painful! I really feel like this is one of the best exfoliating cleansers I have ever tried. The exfoliating cleanser was really easy to apply, you simple squirt some in to your hand and massage it onto your face and then rinse off. It didn't irritate my skin...
