Johnson & Johnston 24 hour moisture body cream.

Tis fab in all catagories

Is this face moisturiser? I thought we did this before? [yawns]

Elemis pro collagen marine cream is the best I have ever used. Can't afford it at the moment due to Xmas and all but I covet it.

Loreal Revitalift - under a tenner (and on 'This Morning' a while ago a scientist came on to assess the claims of various moisturisers and concluded that this one and one by RoC were the only ones that actually lived up to their claims to 'reduce the appearance of fine lines' ...and they were up against all kinds of expensive ones, including that ridiculous Creme De la Mer one)..

anyway...waffle over..

scent - 6/10 not offensive but not particularly lush
moisturising - 9/10
absorption 8/10

Also Olay regenerist

scent 7/10 a bit too liquoricey for me

moisturising ness 18/20 it's good and it's easy to monitor where you put it and how much eg: more on neck, less on greasy conk

absorption 9/10 very good

value for money 9/10 can be found on special offer most of the time

The serum that goes with it (extra dosh) is brilliant and they also do a night serum but I don't like the smell or the spooky blue colour - feels great though.

do you know, I have gone back to the old classic Ulay (olay whatever) classic beauty fluid. It is inexpensive, (10) smells nice,(8) absorbed straight away (10) and my skin looks great.(20) AND FEELS SOFT (20)
