Had some Boots points to spend and had read about some new Estee Lauder anti ageing products, so got them with my points.
I bought Estee Lauder's "Perfectionist" correcting duo for face and lips. There's a face serum and then a cream for the lips.
I haven't used the serum yet, but had a go with the lip cream - OMG - there's a particular "line" I've had at the side of my mouth for ages (it was the first line I ever got Grin)- it disappeared within a few minutes of application - I kid you not.
It's £30 for this set (I used points I had saved).
I am stunned by the results.
I don't know if you can ask for a sample before buying, or at least try the lips cream and serum at the counter.

Another good one for lips is Lancome Primordiale Optimum Levres VVnice

Mazzystar · 16/03/2006 13:04

wow

HOW did it do that?

do report back on the serum.

cod · 16/03/2006 13:04

you are a tart these days puff

littlemissbossy · 16/03/2006 13:06

Do they do a whole body cream/serum???Grin

rummum · 16/03/2006 13:06

I used some loreal anti aging cream last year and was supprised in the morning when all my face was puffy.... I had no wrinkles though.Wink

let us know how you get on with the serum

puff · 16/03/2006 13:07

When I read about it, it's all to do with poly collagen peptides and something called hyaluronic acid - this is being used in clinics now as it's better than botox.

I am usually sceptical about all this stuff - have bought lots of things that improve skin texture etc, but nothing that has this effect on lines.

I love Boots points and have made a note of said wonder cream to try when I next do a cash-in

I've got some points to spend as well. I wasn't planning to be more adventurous than the purchase of a new lippie, but you might have convinced me.

(Am imagining Boots everywhere having a run on this product...)

puff · 16/03/2006 13:38

ok, serum good too - hasn't made all lines on face disappear Grin, but can see significant improvement in fine lines between brows (some gone) and those around eyes.

I expect it wears off, but used over time and regularly will make quite a difference.

boots here i come..

Mog · 16/03/2006 15:00

How many of us are going to be thirty quid down this week? Anyone else tried it as I know already I'm going to buy it.

RedTartanLass · 16/03/2006 15:26

I'm going to buy it as well!! Blush We need some before and after pictures!!!

puff · 16/03/2006 16:11

ok, update, after a few hours (say 3 or 4), the line by my mouth has reappeared, though certainly less deep, so I'm thinking with regular use, this stuff is the biz.

nb: the bottle of serum isn't v big, so anyone who buys it, be sparing. There is a bigger bottle available (not sure how much). I think this is a fairly new product, so EL has produced this introductory set.

I will be using it religiously morning and night as directed.

Apparently Lancome do a cream that also contains this hyaluronic acid, but its much more £££££.

Rude to ask how old you are I suppose? Wink
I only ask because I might be too old and wrinkly already for it to work.

puff · 16/03/2006 20:23

I'm 40 quangle - have been told I have really good skin for my age, but do have some lines here and there

OP posts:
quanglewangle · 16/03/2006 20:32

I am just the wrong side of 50 but in pretty good nick (or so I like to think anway) so might give it a go.

Just looked on boots.com and there are lots of free points with Estee Lauder stuff, which is nice, I can see the Perfectionist stuff but not the duo pack. Think I'll try boots shop tomorrow.

Gosh, I remember when Youth Dew was all the rage. Smelt just like fly spray Grin

Puff - has it done anything for frown lines?

Or do you have a smooth forehead already
