Wrinkle free?

Advantages: Gentle and easy to apply
Disadvantages: No real noticeable improvement

...I suppose I have to admit it, albeit reluctantly, that the years are starting to take their toll. To be fair I am not really that wrinkly (yet) but I put that down to the fact that I don't smoke (and never have) whereas most of my contemporaries who have smoked have faces vaguely resembling a road map these days. However in the pursuit of eternal youth I read, with some interest, the advertising material promoting L'Oreal Wrinkle Decrease Collagen Filler. It made lots of promises - on application my wrinkles would be "visibly smoothed on the surface", in a week the wrinkles "would appear as if smoothed from within" - OK, fair enough, I have now been using it for two weeks - so, is it working? Was it worth the money? I bought my L'Oreal Wrinkle Decrease Collagen Filler whilst I was in Tesco doing my weekly shop. It sells...

Siana - the Wrinkles Won the Battle

Advantages: The price - cheap initial outlay
Disadvantages: The smell, doesn't work, making it a false economy

...Introduction Aldi like to pitch themselves as a more upmarket "discount" supermarket than the likes of Netto and Lidl, and as a result the middle classes seem to have embraced shopping there in the downturn, almost managing to kid themselves that it's merely a slightly cheaper version of Marks & Spencer's Food Hall. A couple of years ago, Gok Wan proclaimed the Siana Moisturising Anti-Wrinkle Day Cream that Aldi sell to be one of the best anti-wrinkle creams available, on his TV show, thus prompting the entire stock nationwide to sell out within a couple of days. You can see why - it costs a mere £1.89 for a 50 ml jar, which makes this a very affordable way of trying to keep the wrinkles at bay. Needless to say, I fell for the hype and despite the fact I didn't have an Aldi close by at the time, I took a trip further afield in...

Review of Siana Anti Wrinkle Night Cream

A steam iron for wrinkles

Advantages: Wrinkles gone in a couple of minutes
Disadvantages: Only lasts around 12 hours

...Before I commence this review, i'd like to highlight 3 points: 1) This is expensive - 30g (1oz) for £65.00 - but cheaper than Botox 2) Long-term use will not reduce the signs of ageing 3) It's a pre-moisturising cream MY FACE I'm 35 years old and though I eat healthily, I am a caffiene addict and i've smoked for some 15 years. Consequently I probably haven't aged as well as I could have and my laughter lines no longer disappear half way into the morning like they used to. I have fine lines down from my nose to the corners of my lips and fine creases by my eyes. WHY THIS PRODUCT Before I got married in May this year I did a bit of research into anti-wrinkle products because, like all brides, I wanted to look my best on the day. Reading through a copy of the Evening Standard's ES Magazine one night, I came across a new...

Review of Freeze 24-7 Anti-Wrinkle Cream

  I'm a Wrinkle Free Zone!!!!

Advantages: Eradicates wrinkes, easily absorbed, smells gorgeous
Disadvantages: Expensive

...As I've hit my forties I have, like most women of a certain age, noticed the odd little line and faint wrinkle here and there. As time has gone by, I have noticed a few more appear, particularly around the corners of my eyes and across my brow. I moan to my husband every now and again that I'm looking old and wish I could afford to have Botox, but the truth be known, I'm actually terrified of needles and the very thought of having a poison injected under my skin to eradicate the odd wrinkle literally makes me feel ill - I'd rather live with the lines, thank you very much! My dear friend is planning her (second) wedding this summer and I really want to look my best for the occasion. I have been trying to lose weight now for a couple of months and have successfully managed to lose just over a stone of flab, my outfit is ready...

Review of Freeze 24-7 Anti-Wrinkle Cream

L'Oreals Wrinkle Grease

Advantages: Tube is a nice colour!
Disadvantages: Ineffective and greasy

...Here I go again on the never ending quest for eternal youth! I am one of those people who probably looks better now than I did in my teens as I am generally happy with my life and I think that shows on my face. However I have noticed the odd deeper line appearing on my forehead and around my eyes which I am not so keen on. About a year ago I thought that I probably needed a little more help than I was getting from my ordinary moisturiser so I looked for products that may help. I came across L'oreal Wrinkle De-Crease Collagen filler in Boots. I am not sure how much it cost then but it is now selling for £15.67. It claimed to be an intensive anti-wrinkle serum which would reduce the appearance of wrinkles---perfect! The product was supplied in the ususal blown plastic packaging that took a while to get into but eventually I...

Review of L'Oreal Wrinkle Decrease Collagen Filler

Wrinkle-free?

Advantages: Makes skin softer and tauter, good price
Disadvantages: A little over-greasy

...I've never been one to spend a lot of money or time on my face. I rarely wear make-up and I'm very dubious about products that cost a fortune. One thing I have always stuck to though is cleanse, tone, moisturise and now I'm getting closer and closer to 40, I really think the benefits are showing Not that I don't have wrinkles, but they aren't too noticeable. Or is it just that I don't have children? Hmm. Anyway, I don't stick to any particular brand - I tend to go for the cheapest option in Boots - but as Nivea is often one of the cheaper brands, I do quite often buy this one. What is the claim? Well, the blurb on the pot says that it 'supports your own anti-wrinkle processes more effectively. For proven visible wrinkle reduction and on-going protection against new wrinkles at night.' The container Once taken out...

Review of Nivea Visage Anti-Wrinkle Q10 Plus Night Cream

Lift those wrinkles!

Advantages: Smells gorgeous
Disadvantages: Bit pricey

...Why are us women so preoccupied with getting old and wrinkly. I never was up until about 2 years ago - I can remember the day I looked in the mirror and saw them - I nearly died and couldnt understand where they had all come from - its the first thing i see know - how sad I am! Anyway this called for some action so I went up town to my local Superdrug because they always have plenty of offers for ageing creams. There were so many to choose from but the Garnier Synergie Wrinkle Lift A was one of the cheapest so in the basket it went. **PACKAGING** White glass jar with green rimmed lid - quite an expensive looking container - but will it do the job? **SMELL** Gorgeous - fruity, herbally and perfumey all rolled into one - very difficult to put an exact smell to it - very refreshing and clean smelling...

New Garnier UltraLift Anti-wrinkle firming day cream

Advantages: It Works!!
Disadvantages: None that I've found yet.

...Garnier Skin Naturals UltraLift Anti-wrinkle firming day cream. I did not buy this with the intention to review it. But the results were so good; I thought I would like to share my experience with you. I have a few small wrinkles on my forehead and of course round my eyes. Well at the beginning of the year I noticed my first proper wrinkle it was above my mouth, vertical and instantly deep looking. Every time I looked in the mirror I could see it. I had just about convinced myself that it didn?t matter we all age, that to worry about it was just being vain. Garnier UltraLift Anti-wrinkle day firming cream SPF 15, I don?t usually buy this brand of anti-wrinkle cream as I had tried it several years ago and I didn?t see any results, and it did not absorb well into my skin. Until last week when shopping in Boots for my usual anti-wrinkle...

Review of Garnier Synergie Wrinkle Lift

Still not a wrinkle free zone...

Advantages: Works as a moisturiser
Disadvantages: Not a wrinkle free cream

...Olay anti wrinkle night cream Whilst i am never completely convinced about the claims these products make, so seduced am i by the suggestion that i will look 20 years younger that I keep buying them! WHAT IS IT? This is a firming night cream which is apparently proven to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helping to achieven younger looking skin in just four weeks. HOW DOES IT DO IT? It states on the box that it has sourced proven anti ageing vitamins, B3, E and pro vitamin B% ceramides and antioxidant (Green tea) and has created a special blend. So special is it that they can't give away the secret but while you sleep your skin will be rejuvenated. PRODUCT AND PACKAGING The product comes in lots of packaging (cardboard box surrounded by plastic) which is a tad unnecessary given that we are trying to cut...

Review of Olay Anti Wrinkle Night Cream

Wrinkle Free for the Future? Perfect!

Advantages: Anti-Ageing, Fights Anti-Oxidants, Non Sticky,Sinks in Really Quickly, Leaves Skin Feeling Soft
Disadvantages: None - just wasn't quite right for my skin

...First of all I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! Ok so it's 2 weeks too late but better late than never is what I always say. I hope that everyone has got off to a happy and prosperous 2008 and that it continues throughout the year. I've decided it's about time I did another review and back to the stuff that I enjoy writing about the most - toiletries and cosmetics I think. This time under the spotlight is Estee Lauders Future Perfect Anti-Wrinkle Radiance Crème. I am the first to admit that I can be quite fickle with my beauty products and I do tend to go through stages where I love Lancome products then I will discover something from Clinique that I love then I'll discover something from Elizabeth Arden that is fantastic - you get the picture?! One brand that I always find I seem to love is Estee Lauder. In 1946...
