ooh really?

Link pls.

dont listen to cod! its fab!! buy buckets and buckets of it!

Well I thought it was rubbish and I didn't look any different but my sister (swanky city gal) lurrrrves it!

Don't listen to Cod, it s fab. But the secret is, use lots, and put your slap on straight away while its still damp.

yes must put make up on immediately or it starts to come off as you apply make up

I got some before my wedding (years ago!)I've never actually bought it since, as it is often a freebie in the special offers they do, so you could try it out that way?

when I tried it for the first time, DH (never notices haircuts or anything) said without prompting that I looked "less puffy"
therefore I think it must do something fairly marvellous

I was a bit dubious when I was given a tube, but have to admit that it is rather marvellous. Sploosh it on and then wang your slap straight on. It makes me less grey and haggard, more bright and boingy, and it feels nice.

Not a great fan I have to admit, doesn't seem to make a huge difference to how I look, perhaps the raw material is too much of a challenge for it

Ah good tip double top.

I love it - use it at least 4 times a week - can't see witchhazel doing the same thing at all. Pulls my face up from my knees to at least see hwere I'm going for the school run!

Love it.

Double Top is right.

Does it work if you don't wear makeup?

Love it
It's fab under make up and is quite divine if used as a face mask
I have to admit I use mine most days. If not on whole face then on my forehead!

Nope.Don't like it.

Nope, couldn't see the difference.

useless, makes no difference to my skin at all.
Which is suprising because i love most other clarins stuff.

I am soooooooooooooooooooo allergic to it, it is not funny.

When I put it on.....my whole face goes on fire and I then feel the need to wash it off and start again.

The one time I refused to wipe it off and start again I lasted 10 minutes and had a "burnt" face for days.

Test it before you use it, IYKWIM.

And I am a Clarins girl the rest of the time.

Oh bugger LGJ

Well....I buyed some today.....

I have just tried it out, under bunch of brand spanking new make up.....

If your skin is not tingling/burning you will be fine.

No tingling or burning.

Definitely worth the money

Particularly since I got some lovely little samples with my purchase - tinted moisturiser, body lotion, normal moisturiser and a sample perfume - which is actually quite nice!

(I think the lady on the counter felt sorry for me - she'd seen me struggling with DS to the point of sweat dripping off of me...)

Have to say though - Virgin Vie's Skin Dew does as good a job, albeit in a slightly different way.

Oh I forgot to add....after applying etc, DP walked into the room last night and when I turned around he said "ooh - you look pretty". (He's not the sort to proffer a compliment, unsolicited ).

Its worth every penny
