To be annoyed at the greedy b's who keep buying up Boots Protect and Perfect and flogging it on Ebay?

[Sixofone]

All I want is 1 tube, yes ONE, and it sells out on Boots.com in seconds thanks to the greedy selfish bughers who put in multiple orders on different accounts which are really all theirs just so they can then profiteer it on Ebay?

I have a baby. That means I have genuine wrinkles. And no money. So I can't afford your s0dding £35 for a £16 tube of face cream. I don't mind you having a few, but ALL of them is just ridiculous. Aaaargh. I can just FEEL another wrinkle coming on!!

[brimfull]

tis all hype isn't it,so you're not missing anything

[Sixofone]

Is it though? I thought they had tested it properly and everything?

[Sixofone]

Still not right that people hoard it so no normal people can get a look in!

[brimfull]

boots apparently paid for the research

[DaphneHarvey]

I'm sorry if this sounds harsh - but please GROW UP. There is nothing, but nothing, on this earth that makes your wrinkles go away short of plastic surgery.

But, yes, the e-bay sellers are greedy. Nothing new there. E-bay is full of corrupt sellers with no morals whatsoever, just out for a quick buck.

[Sixofone]

Errr....yeah....Daphne it does! You can make them look better though can't you!

[Sixofone]

A quick buck, haven't had one of those in AGES

[DaphneHarvey]

Try ROC. Esp. under-eye cream.

[SenoraPostrophe]

why don't you just get Boots to give you some on your way to work at their PR department?

[Sixofone]

Don't think Boots need the publicity, but yes, if their PR department would give me a free sample, I would gladly stop by on my way to work Bit of a detour though seing as I live in Warwickshire

[melpomene]

It's hype.

Basically, the research compared the Boots cream against a standard moisturiser, but didn't compare it against other anti-wrinkle products, so it didn't really prove the Boots cream is better than other anti-aging/anti-wrinkle creams.

Why are women worried about lines on their face? How stupid. It's like foot binding in China really. Who hypnotised you to be bothered about it? Wear a burkha if you're concerned about it or get therapy.

[IcingOnTheCake]

Theres nothing wrong with a bit of nivea cream

[Sixofone]

Yeah, thanks! Burkha it is then... I am clearly being unreasonable for not wanting a face like a pug's backside. But AIBU for being parped at the greedy buggers who are just buying it to sell it on...?

[3andnomore]

lol six....tbh....buy the cheap as chips Emoilient cream from Asda or Wilkinson and drink plenty of water and eat a healthy diet...and your skin will be glowing, will be well moisturised and soft !
Well, works for me...and am 36

[IcingOnTheCake]

I know this lady who is 70 and her skin is amazing! She says its down to being outdoors, eating right, drinking water, not smoking and using nivea cream!

[3andnomore]

caffein is another one to avoid...caffein dehydrates and ages

[3andnomore]

oh hot water with lemon and lime is great for the skin and taste really nice

[EnidTheInvisible]
