You're supposed to mark the picture your wrinkles most closely match, 1 to 8 (8 being the worst)

I'm less than a 1 (43) - what shall I do mumsnet! Don't want to take photo prooof to plaster on the Internet

Lol! I've managed to take a photo of my crow area without it making me identifiable so I guess I'll have to email that!
Not sure if I should be flattered I'm so unwrinkly at 43 or worried that a make up firm would think you would be

Hi all. I am also 43 and don't have the wrinkles (yet!) when I don't smile. I decided to measure doing a big eye wrinkling smile (which does produce wrinkles)!

I'm no 4 with a big fake grin but that's not likely to change surely?

BTW I am not gloating about the no wrinkles thing. Basically I am quite fat and the fat tends to plump up the wrinkles!

Oh that's such a relief that I'm not the only one! Mine weren't on the scale either - I have lines under my eyes (which is where I've been using the cream) rather than crow's feet but even those would only be equivalent to about a 1 on the scale. Rather pleased to have volunteered for this product test actually as it's done my ego no end of good Grin Alas, I'm probably not going to be able to provide very helpful feedback to Ultralift...

[mumbled apology emoticon] ...but in my defence I never claimed to have crow's feet, I said I was "starting to get lines" which is true. I'm still slapping on the cream each day though which is somewhat remarkable given my usual beauty 'regime' (or lack thereof!)

Mouseface · 25/05/2012 09:52

Me too, less than a 1 that is. I'm 37 and a 1/2 (the half is very important according to DD Grin)

Whoops, best not Grin in case I jinx myself!

The cream is lush though. Smile

Another one here (41 years old) with no crows feet but am scrutinising some fine lines under the eyes every day. Have been using for a week and think I can see a difference. Skin certainly feels nicer. Am also massaging it into forehead and at sides of nose / mouth where I also have fine lines - can't harm eh?

Hands have never felt so soft too!

fanoftheinvisibleman · 26/05/2012 08:52

I'm less than a 1 too and have to do a manic grin to get crows feet! I'm doing the same as suzyzoo. I'm at the very fine line stage and I think it is helping there.

Never got the glass jar with this product test so at least I won't 'miss it' if I continue to use it.

Pleased to notice it's actually cheaper than was told (£9.99 ish)

Wish they had given us the version with the SPF in it though!

Hello - a response on this issue for non crow's feet testers:

1- For those who can?t find themselves on the chart:
Garnier?s UltraLift Wrinkle Reader is endorsed by the British Skin Foundation and was developed to enable women to see the results on the appearance of their wrinkles for themselves as part of the UltraLift Challenge. If you don?t find yourself on the chart, Ultralift has also been shown to leave skin feeling firmer, smoother and soft to the touch.

2- Can the wrinkle reader be used to see the improvement of wrinkles on other areas of the face?

The UltraLift wrinkle reader was specifically developed for the crow?s feet area rather than other areas of the face. However, UltraLift anti-wrinkle cream can be applied onto the whole face and has been shown to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and leave skin feeling firmer and smoother.

HTH!

Bossybritches22 · 06/06/2012 14:48

Yep not the crows feet that's the problem here either so don't know if the wrinkle-ometer is going to be accurate.

Not sure if my skin is any better but it's got be back into a better night routine so can't be bad!

(& free cream is always welcome-whats next??! Grin )

pennnn · 09/06/2012 17:31

wrinkles 4 now 2, but hard to judge really. Cream was very rich and felt as tho it sat on top of skin for quite a while

klaxon · 09/06/2012 17:34

My cat ate the wrinkle-ometer. But before that I was under a one too. Perhaps they should have done this trial on granshagsnet? Grin

Doobydoo · 09/06/2012 17:37

I was under 1 too.But am Angry as at nearly 43 thought I must be doing wellGrin

annh · 12/06/2012 09:51
