Done - spotty outbreak here too (and I haven't had poppable zits on my face for donkeys years)

Reggiee · 07/06/2010 18:30

Done.

Thanks for the opportunity to test. Like many others, I didn't like the spotty chin it gave me.

MisSalLaneous · 07/06/2010 18:30

Well, maybe if it made the majority of skins break out in spots, it does indeed have the effect of making people look younger - teenagery no less!

SanctiMoanyArse · 07/06/2010 18:39

My thoughts entirely Sal

Wasn't 1srt April when MN received this request was it....

MisSalLaneous · 07/06/2010 19:12

Ha, that might explain it!

pointydog · 07/06/2010 19:39

I don't believe any cream can make your skin look younger. Nothing has proved me wrong so far.

Cazabelle · 07/06/2010 20:19

Done

Katz · 07/06/2010 20:26

done

zephyrcat · 07/06/2010 21:33

Done. Loved it here! No spots, no strong odour, no stinginging/tingling.... maybe I got the placebo!!

Nice cream though, will use it all but not buying it for the price it is!

NorkyButNice · 07/06/2010 21:49

Done.

I don't normally use an SPF and my usual moisturiser is 23 pounds a pop so I'd certainly consider using it again.

My skin didn't go greasy or spotty either. Interesting how it affects everyone differently.

PurplePillow · 07/06/2010 22:02

Done.

Can't say I've seen any improvement on my lines and it felt quite greasy and did get a few spots

think the price is a bit on the dear side tbh

BigBadMummy · 08/06/2010 08:08

so when the advert comes on the telly are we going to be the small print that says "87% of 141 women said their cats preferred it?"

AvadaKedavra · 08/06/2010 08:25

Ok a few more days on of use, and having previously loved it in the main - now my skin is getting greasy and I have a huge spot on my forehead and one on my cheek and one on my chin

JulesJules · 08/06/2010 09:55

Done

Shivs1974 · 08/06/2010 12:38

TimothyTigerTuppennyTail · 08/06/2010 21:05

Done.

Vile stuff.

Smilehighclub · 08/06/2010 23:24

done.

I liked it more actually as I carried on using it. I don't know that I look younger tho. And my fat jowls are still there .

Done

I already use Olay anti wrinkle stuff so maybe I was asking a bit much of this that it would make any more difference.

But I got a spot too, which I thought was a complete co-incidence too until I read this thread.

Feel a bit conned - didn't realise that we were guinea-pigs and that we were product testing. I mean, it's great that products aren't tested on animals nowadays. But am I going to have to check labels to find out whether they've been tested on MNers?

CaptainUnderpants · 10/06/2010 14:14

Done - I came out in tiny grease spots.

Nothing will make my skin look younger except a major facelife or botox.

Still interesting to try something ..

mustrunmore · 12/06/2010 15:22

Ok, I've decided I like the feel the second it touches my face, then it feels too slimy, but after its soakd in or whatever the trem is, hten I quite like it. But I dont think its had any good effects in particular.

JodieO · 12/06/2010 15:29

Bosch I didn't realise that either and wouldn't have done it if I had, considering that I'm 12 weeks pregnant.... I'm quite pissed off about that actually.

Oh further useage I've found it's greasy and I have come out in spots. Also, the little bit that sticks in the end of the tube goes hard by the next day and feels disgusting.

louii · 12/06/2010 15:31

Now been using for over 2 weeks, liked it ok to start with. Now I am covered in spots which I have never had in my life.
Not looking any younger and not using it again!

louii · 12/06/2010 15:33

Umm it's in the product testing section, how could you not realise u were testing a product?
