Your thoughts on it please. I have mature (ahem) skin. Normal to dry, not greasy skin.
Would it be useful?
Tis expensive - small tube, big price and paying the 'not in U. K.' premium.

I love it but you need to use it with a moisturiser, not instead. It helps draw and keep the moisture in your skin so it looks plumper. Use maybe a pea sized blob first after serum and before moisturiser. It especially helps me overnight.

If you use it without moisturiser it will feel tight and do nothing. Think of it as a booster.
The effect may not be dramatic ... But if I dont use it, then the effect is dramatically bad!

Where are you located ... Here in Oz it is actually very good value compared to many other products.

Thanks Mcgilly.
You need serum as well!!!!
I thought it might be similar to a serum.
Do you have to wait long after putting it on before you put your moisturiser over it?

No you don't necessarily need serum, you're right.
But you do need some sort of moisturiser on top. You don't have to wait long, dab a bit of Hydraluron on, wait half a minute then slap on your moisturiser. The effects are subtle, I suppose, but I really notice the difference if I don't use it.

Basically it's hyaluronic acid which attracts water so keeps it in the skin. It won't stop wrinkles or exfoliate, but it will Plump you up. Like soaking a sponge. Can you tell I l

Sorry - can you tell I love it?!

FWIW I don't really like the other products by that manufacturer ... Not Snoxin or Nanoblur. Too silicone-y. I am trying Pepta Bright but no verdict yet.

I have just used the last drops from my tube and I can honestly say, it has made no visible difference to my mature skin. A good moisturiser does much the same IMO.

I really like it. Agree with Mcgilly it plumps up the skin and I notice if I don't use it.

It made my skin feel tight, threw it away after a week.

It gives me spots. Which is a huge shame as for the first couple of days it made a nice difference. Nothing dramatic but skin looked slightly fresher. Tempted to try it again.

bravura's one is cheaper

although the Indeed one is on offer atm in boots

Pusspuss1 · 26/01/2014 19:02

I bought it recently - turns out it gives me spots, grrr. £25 down the &(:£@"; drain!

Annebronte · 26/01/2014 20:15

I couldn't tell the difference when I tried it, so did unscientific experiment - used it on one side of face only for 3 weeks. There was absolutely no difference at all!

mcgilly · 26/01/2014 22:33

Perhaps the verdict is ... Don't pay too much, OP!
