No 7 Protect and Perfect face cream

[Robinia]

Has anyone used any of the range for a good length of time? Until now I've resisted trying it but I need a change & was wondering if it's as good as they say? Bearing in mind I'm over 50 I'd really like replies from mature ladies please. Is it too late, shall I stick with the Nivvy? :o)

in what sounds like a highly professional and detailed survey carried out over a period of hours and hours, the Mirror was impressed

As someone who has tried and tested a few of these creams including the above I have to say I am still looking older every year the lines havent disappeared only the cash.
Just make the best of what you've got is what I say.

Can't help with the face cream question, I just wanted to say hello to you Robinia, and Vinny, where have you both been?? Hope you're both well?

Waves to jno too <hello there!!

Yooooo Hooooo

(Sorry, I wanted to say hello too).

That Nos 7 stuff was on a feature on This Morning I think at one point and one of the products sold out overnight after it was scientifically (allegedly) proven that it had more effect than some of the other more expensive creams, (I'm pretty sure it was this product).

Seriously, why don't you ask in Science? I reckon a few of them would know whether it's worth you spending money on this or if basically all of the creams are lies and rubbish. I think that most vitamins can't be absorbed by the skin (too big to go through the pores/cells/whatever) so I'm generally not swayed by any cream that claims to have vitamins in.

Blimey... that ^^^ looks almost like a sensible answer doesn't it?! ;0)

[Robinia]

yoohoo everyone...(excuse this rabble waterbabe, thanks for your answer, I'm sure you're young & lovely)

Hi B00, we're still taking cover in dusty sheds, it gets too wild <<< out there ...I'm another year older since we last spoke, you missed the cake (on Wed), sorry. The next time there's a wrinkly celebration you'll be the first to know. Hope you're ok too!

Yes, way too sensible China, I was half expecting 'forget it, you're beyond help' type answers really. Anyway it's too late, I've bought some now, thanks to a very helpful assistant, so you won't recognise me in a few weeks. I might even sneak into cb & start a fight.

[VINNY100_2]

Hellooo Boo and china.
Hope you are both keeping well.
weve been hiding round the back-doubles.And ive been hiding here to yo pop in and give me 5 hearts(hint hint)(:O)xx

I don't know if it "works" as such, as in reducing wrinkles etc, but I know that my mum, who lives in France, has become addicted to it, and I'm regularly sent on a mission to Boots for supplies...lol She is asthmatic, and has very sensitive skin, and she says it's the only thing she's tried that feels nice, doesn't irritate her skin or triggers her asthma. For that alone, I'd say its good!

[Robinia]

hi max, thanks...I'm glad you mentioned it's good for sensitive skin. If you want to get ahead of your mum's requests it's 3 for 2 at the moment.

ok van sprout stop showing off with your vertical thingy
:o)

[China Doll]

I think I did something.... Maybe.... There was some pictures at any rate!

Hello, B00! Hello, China! Hello, everyone!

Girls, I don't think it matters WHAT face creams are used. None of us are ever going to stop the signs of nature without a chemical peel, Botox or surgery. A lot of wrinkly skin comes from the genes we're born with, and from being out in the sun, smoking, not hydrating ourselves enough, etc., etc.
I'm hoping to follow in my mum's footsteps. She's almost 64 and has a lovely complexion, but, if she uses anything on her skin, it's RoC products. Having said that, I once read that there's not a lot of difference between cheaper ones and the more expensive. I reckon it's just a case of finding the best one for YOU.

[Robinia]

erm, probably more like a smacked one jno

I hope you haven't scribbled on Vinny's drawings china

Ice I don't think wandering around in the middle of the night is good for the complexion :o) You're right though, what suits one person isn't always suitable for another. I don't like the moisturisers that my sister swears by.

It's so far so good with the new face slap, it feels lovely on my skin...and I haven't come out in hives......yet. Better check....

Here's an article on the latest scientific study that was carried out-
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnolog y/science/sciencenews/5236381/Protect-and-Perf ect-anti-ageing-face-cream-first-proven-to-red uce-wrinkles.html

I have never really bothered with moisturisers on my face (what we 'mature' ladies used to rely on to keep young looking), as I have always had very oily skin and creams always made the 'slick' worse!
But now-at 61. I have few wrinkles...not sure if this is due to genes,little sun exposure, or the oily skin.....but I am not complaining.

[China Doll]

I didn't scribble but I'm fairly sure I emailed someone! Not entirely convinced that was Vinny though... Ho hum!

[VINNY100_2]
