Boots Protect and Perfect

[pitstopbunny]

Has anyone tried this yet? I just bought a bottle today after all the hype it has been given by the media. If you have used it, have you noticed any changes?

I've been selling it via Ebay and its been very popular...

Well funnily enough I got hold of a sample of Protect & Perfect face serum around October last year and I tried it a couple of times and thought it made my skin feel lovely. I then watched something on TV where a make-up artist highly recommended face serums to women in their late 20's onwards being applied under moisturiser. That prompted me to change my skincare regime (having not been updated since my early 20's!!) and I rushed out and invested in Olay's 7 signs face serum and Olay Definity foaming moisturiser. Within 4 weeks of using the serum I noticed a considerable difference and my face looks fresher and younger and a lot of fine wrinkles have diminished.

Shortly afterwards I heard about that programme which talked about Protect & Perfect and it made me smile to think that was the start of it all for me!

I also picked up a product by Sanctuary today - a Collagen boosting mask and I am sat here with it on, it feels divine!

I use Oil of Olay, so does my mum and so did my nan. She didn't have any wrinkles the day she died, the day before her 94th birthday!

[fine,thanks]

anyone who was 94 and no wrinkles 0oh please.

Its true - and mum is 60 this year and often gets mistaken for my brothers sister! Its taken 10/20 years off her. Maybe we just have good skin, I don't know but I will be pretty happy if I reach that age without wrinkles

Shineybomb I have seen a few very elderly ladies with beautiful soft skin over the years, always have children and grandchildren with great skin too so it is probably a genetic thing you lucky so and so!

Back... I have been using an Elemis one costing an astonishing �95. So I am hoping the boots one will do the trick...more money to spend on shoes then.

oooooooo forgot to say, I also bought the Colgate 'once a week' teeth cleaning thingy that has been advertised on TV . Blimin' heck....my teeth came up up trumps, really white & clean, only �3.49'ish too (enough for loads of cleans).

Hi, reading comments here. Couple of things to point out.

The older generation were not sunbathers in the same way that we are today and did not expose their skin to free radical damage as we do. Sun, Air Con. Pollution, Central Heating, all these have a negative effect on our skin daily.

I very much doubt the boots cream contains anything that cannot already be found in other creams, probably just Vitamin C or Q10 and Penta Peptides, which youv'e all seen on TV adverts anyhow.

Iam sure the cream will have some effect for the majority of subjects but the nevertheless you do get what you pay for. Most professional skincare brands already sell Serum's for use under moisturisers, so nothing new there.

Would suggest you change to a professional skincare range with the addition of professional treatment facials on a regular basis.

Stear clear of big brand names, you are paying for the advertising and flashy packaging mostly.
