Gp gave me a prescription forit. Do i just use it like a moisturiser? Day and night or day only? I have to use seperate sunscreen as it makes the skin photo sensitive ( i think that's the term)

Retin-A is fab! My skin looked amazing when I was using it. Can't use it whilst bf'ing though.

Your skin will get flaky, but persist with it.

Anyone else using Differin cream? I've got it for mild acne but hoping for an anti-aging effect too :o

Haha no
SPF must be used at all times
Going potholing? SPF
Are a vampire? SPF
Earth worm? SPF

Do the slimming pills have a THR number on them? From April 2011 new EU regulations have come into play to ensure that all manufactured herbal medicines meet safety and quality standards.

The new directive, known as the Traditional Herbal Registration (THR), will mean that many herbal weight loss pills that do not meet these standards will be banned.

The regulations have been issued by the Medicine and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to combat the rise of ineffective and “dangerous” supplements on the market.

Just wondered maybe they're giving them away as not allowed to sell.

FoxPass - I used to use differin, was really good, not too harsh on skin but effective. Can't comment on anti aging properties as I was in my early twenties when I last used it so didn't have that problem! Smile
