I'm using REN Keep Young and Beautiful. It's the first serum I've used. I really like it. Sold in M&S

I have tried dozen and dozens (literally) of high end serums in the last few years but the one that impressed me the most so far is actually relatively cheaper. I've only been using it for a few days but can already notice difference in my pore size, smoothness and even my freckles seem lighter! It's the Paula's Choice super antioxidant serum from the Resist (anti-ageing) range

I have the Good Genes serum. It is the most expensive face product I have ever bought and I think it's really good. It took about a week to have full effect but my skin feels like velvet and more plumped and youthful. I wouldn't say it gives intensive moisture though.

I also started using the First Aid Beauty Facial radiance pads (£20ish) at the same time so it might have been the combination. They are recommended by Caroline Hirons as the acid toning step before serum.

thetropicmama7, I want to try some of the Paula's Choice stuff as I've heard good things. Have you tried any of the moisturisers from her range?

Ilovecheese11, I ordered samples of 8 products from her range and have been using it for the last few days. I am seriously impressed which is a big thing as I'm a skincare junkie and have tried loads. I am currently using :barrier Repair Moisturizer (night) and cellular defence daily Moisturizer spf25. I also highly recommend the daily smoothing treatment 5% AHA and the clinical 1% retinol treatment. But then, I'm late 30's so really into antiageing stuff

Thanks, I'll try some of those. I didn't realise she did samples. I'm in my 40s now so also into anti ageing!
