Duck tape's a good alternative. Just be careful when you peel it off, so you don't take skin with it!:eek:

Is cream of magnesia the same as milk of...? It's all i could find in boots.
It says the active ingredients are: Light magnesium oxide 5.98% w/v, Magnesium Sulphate 0.075% w/v, also contains chloroform.
Will i be safe slapping that stuff on my face, or is it a lot stronger than milk of magnesia? If ppl could reply before tonight, i would be eternally grateful as i'm desperate to try this stuff out!!

Yes, it's the same stuff. Would probably be sensible to use it in a well-ventilated room until it's dry, as it does smell quite strongly of choloform - don't want to keel over!

I'm becoming so OS without even realising it! I popped into Sainsburys on my way home (I wouldn't normally shop there as it is too expensive but wanted to see if they had any reduced bread - and they did!)

Anyhoo..........went to pick up a bottle of MoM and it was £3.15. And my eyebrow went up and I was like Phooey! Sure I can find it cheaper somewhere else and I didnt put it in my basket

I am grinning because I would never have noticed the price before and would never have shopped around for something like that - oh I love OS I do.




Now, don't suppose anyone knows where I can get it cheaper than that, do they?

I bought mine today in boots for £2.69. Likewise i would normally go to Superdrug or somewhere cheaper, but i was in heels and my feet hurt too much to walk further!!:rotfl:

I bought Tesco own brand, like you was aghast at the real thing price!

And Yes it works

How do you manage to get a thick coating of MoM on? On my son's face I tried patting it on using a wad of paper towel without much success. I then tried patting it on using cotton wool and it was a bit better, but it still went on thin and patchy. Any ideas?

Can afford to do the chin as well as the nose now

Not the Tesco's near me.

Never mind, this MoM works a treat, thanks! Its so much cheaper than buying Clean and Clear. Had just finished a bottle of that and was looking for a cheap alternative.
