buy a really small jar from ebay to test first, i used it for years then recently seem to have a reaction to it

The pro collagen one? I love it I have to say, have been using for 3+years, but no idea how it would react with your skin. Visit a counter and get some samples before committing.

I was fine with it, and I do have sensitive skin.

I swear by it & a little bit goes a long way. The full size lasts me 3 months. You can buy the trial size for £9.

Yes buy the trial size. I git mine on amazon. It was terrible for me. I could see my skin turning redas soon as the stuff touched it. It is very heavily scented if that helps you decide. It is a sort of essential oil smell.

Or buy from QVC. You can try it and return if you don't like it. Cost - postage.

It's brilliant stuff, been using it years. However I've got skin as insensitive as a donkeys arse so I might not be the best advocate. Smile

Thanks I'm in Australia & can't order on Amazon. It's $40 for full size online. I can't seem to find a sample size on EBay. I would like to try it but I'm worried as I'm very sensitive skin.

Try the sample of you can, I've always picked it up in airports. Elemis is very heavily scented, you might be better with clinique take the day off if you are sensitive to scent.

Was going to come on and suggest Clinique take the day off too. It's unfragranced so far less likely to cause a reaction than Elemis, which does smell amazing but not a top pick by any means for sensitive skin

FrozenNotCold · 09/04/2017 19:43

I don't have sensitive skin and I loved the smell but I felt it never got my face properly/deeply clean and I got spots too.

Aquamarine70 · 10/04/2017 13:36

Thanks I'll have a look at the Clinique.
