    Sarah!!!!!

    Just found a handcream that you just need a little bit of and it sinks straight in - it's only Atrixo - enriched version in the yellow pot with a pale green lid.

    The Dove Pro Age and Johnsons tubes are on the way out and I was looking for another one that was a bit richer. I found a small pot to try - which I think will last for quite a while. You only need a bit and the hands feel very nicely moisturised. Yipee!! Found a cheaper replacement at last but need to be careful with the amount used, start of small and build up gradually from there.

    We were talking about downshifting beauty brands at work today and we decided that the only difference between many of the brands is found when you swop to another brand after 1, 2 or 3 months so your hair has a change of ingredients and renews the effects. I think this really is the case because I haven't really seen any difference between using a mega expensive brand and a cheap Gum one for £1 from the poundshop.

    Nice list kezlou! Think I'll pinch one of those to go onto mine!

    Brilliant FedUp thanks... I had a look at the Atrixo but didn't get it because I couldn't smell it :o

    I did buy the Johnsons, which seems ok for now, but will defo try the Atrixo next!

    Still thinking about what else to do next....

    Magni, are you gonna post a link to the new thread here?
