How long have you been using it Zippit, and what improvements have you noticed?

OP posts:
zippit · 21/07/2007 23:16

about a week and seems to have lessened those lines down between where you smile nose and mouth..but i also take lots of supplements and drink water which has all helped my ten years younger look

I was using it for ages then all the hype happened and I couldn't get it anymore. Just bought a new tube today. I did notice my skin looking worse when I had to stop using it.

paddingtonbear1 · 21/07/2007 23:18

I've been using it for a few weeks, but haven't really noticed any difference yet tbh.

LoonyLyraLovegood · 21/07/2007 23:19

Comeoveneer, it's Boots No7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum.

ComeOVeneer · 21/07/2007 23:19

What is it??????

ComeOVeneer · 21/07/2007 23:19

OOPS crossed posts. Thankyou. Is this the one everyone queued for?

paddingtonbear1 · 21/07/2007 23:20

Have used it for about 2 months (2 bottles) and no difference but it feels nice. Am gonna try abit longer and see.

LoonyLyraLovegood · 21/07/2007 23:22

Worth it if you can afford £15 for face cream. Not worth it if you can't.

Tinker · 21/07/2007 23:23

It's so dear though isn't it? Keep picking it up and then putting it back, telling myself not to be a mug

zippit · 21/07/2007 23:25

I've uploaded a picture of my protect and survive face onto my profile

toesh · 21/07/2007 23:26

I bought it for the lines from nose to mouth. Unlike zippit, i have had no visible improvements yet, but have noticed definite improvements in the neck (which was a previous worry of mine, taken over only by the nose to mouth thing...)

Quite Tinker, I've done the same, hoping that I can get some honest answers from other MNetters. let me know if you decide to buy it and perhaps we can compare notes!

It does last for ages though because you only use a tiny bit and it glides on.

zippit · 21/07/2007 23:31

oh well how do you do this profile thing..it is only showing for me

jellybeans · 22/07/2007 10:57

I found it doesn't last that long if you use it twice a day but maybe I use too much. It does leave your skin feeling nice and soft. You also use another mosituriser on top, I use Olay. I am gonna wait to get some more till it is on 3 for 2 as can't really afford it or justify it.

zippit · 22/07/2007 11:11

I was told to use n amount the size of a ip coin..I am paying to have my teeth whitened this week and the cost pales into significance compared with that...I have taken out a mortgage for it

but then i am in a what the hell who cares mood

cornsilk · 22/07/2007 11:12

I thought it was quite good.

cornsilk · 22/07/2007 11:13

zippit I want to have my teeth whitened. What procedure are you having?

zippit · 22/07/2007 11:16

I am paying an arm and leg to have zoom at the dentist..but i am a whimp (sp) about teeth

reputedly the trays are as good but lalalala fingers in ears I'd rather waste money
