No7 P&P serums- Yes they really work....but apparently only for a while. Anyone else found this?

Hey

I bought this serum with reasonably high expectations and not because of that incredibly annoying advert but because I'd read some really impressive reviews and so I gave it a go and I was really really impressed!

After a week (if that!) I was getting comments such as 'you're looking really well' and 'you've got a lovely glow' and I could actually see it myself, without sounding like a big head! I was even getting IDed and that hasn't happened for a few years (I'm 30 btw)

Recently though, I've noticed that my skin has basicially gone back to the way it was before. Not bad, just nothing special. The glow has definitely gone and the fine lines around my mouth seem to be as visible as before. Oh and no need for my ID again

Wondering if this is just what happens, or if maybe I'm doing something wrong. I started using it at night too, so maybe I'm using too much. Also, I don't use their moisturiser with it. I use the Olay Regenerist with SPF 30, just because I really like it and I prefer a high SPF in my moisturiser. I read somewhere that using the wrong products together have the opposite effect and could actually speed up the aging process. But I was using the Olay alongside it, from the beginning and as I said, my skin looked really good.

Anyway, has anyone else found this?

I haven't used the Boots product but I find this happens with just about every new product I try! I think you need to rotate.

Hmmm, yeah thinking about it, I think you're right.

I think it was just extra disappointing because of how well it worked initially.

I used to used EL night serum and that was really good, but so expensive! I wanted to wear it in the daytime too, but simply couldn't afford to. Then I tried No7 and I thought it was cheap enough to use night and day.

Thinking about using the EL at night and the No7 in the day But then I'm a bit worried about the mixing and matching thing again.

I think the way to go is it be loyal to any brand.

I have the no7 and it's 'ok' ... I rotate it with elemis, origins zing stuff and clarins - if nothing else it's an excuse to try more stuff
