The truth about face creams

[mizi]

Did anyone watch this prog tonight,what was the result,do they work or not?

No, I didn't but one of the products advertised was Aldi - see link below. I have been using for 2 months and it's lush - better than anything else I've tried.

hi there.. i watched it .. the general opinion from the plastic surgeon and the dermatologist was that they don't work at all- in fact during the 4 week trial some womens wrinkles got worse! the creams used ranged from very high end (costing �250) to the lower priced ranges. The skin doctor said that the best thing you can do for wrinkles is wear a sunblock everyday. i was gutted - was ready to rush out and buy the winning cream! : )

the dermatologist also said eat well and stop smoking, plenty of vit c rich foods etc

Of course they dont work they just target gullible women lol

Most peoples wrinkles got worse lol

Hi mizi - I didn't watch the programme, but I have been using Aldi's creams (day and night) for some months now.
I can honestly say it is the best I have ever tried !!
It leaves my skin so soft and I swear my wrinkles are disappearing !

I'm beauty editor of a newspaper and have tried every cream under the sun - and think they are all a waste of money! Creme de la Mer is greasy and 24/7 Freeze is horrible!

Best bet is to get your cleansing right - my favourite is cheap and cheerful Simple cleanser - washed off with lots of water and a facecloth (which gently exfoliates as you go).

My favourite moisturiser is Garnier Nutritionist - leaves my skin glowing and seems to plump out the wrinkles, even though it makes no claims to do this.

Funnily enough, the show The Truth About Beauty on UKTV Style last night (and at 10pm every night this week) had an interview with Jerry Hall - who said she just uses a wash-off cleanser and any old cheap moisturiser; she said she never uses anything with 'anti-ageing' on the bottle because it just made her feel bad about herself! I'm with Jerry on this one.

Thanks for all your answers,i dont buy anti ageing creams but i am at that time of life when i would like to turn back time a little,if they were proven to work then i would probably have bought some,instead i will grow old gracefully (or not,lol) cheers
