£3 (approx) cream tops the anti-ageing charts

I was going to ask that too - and do the expensive eye creams have an SPF factor? There's more to anti-ageing than visible improvement in the short term, it's the long-term sun damage that most people buying these products are hoping to avoid.

I was talking to staff in Boots about this recently, they were horrified that I just use baby lotion on my face, and no SPF - no wonder I'm getting wrinkles

The survey recommended that:

To avoid lines around the eyes, don’t smoke and wear UV-absorbing sunglasses. Dr Griffiths says: ‘The best prevention is an adequate sunscreen or cream containing one'.


The scope of this particular study was to observe wrinkle improvement.

Studying the best SPF-containing eye creams would necessitate an entirely different study, involving varying degrees of exposure to UV rays, etc.

[Edit to add]:

Discussion of the sun and its effects are outwith my remit. Please remember that I'm based in Scotland. There does seem to be some kind of an invisible shield that won't let the Sun rays through - I think it's called rain!!! Definitely has a deflecting ability - lol. The rain buddies up with dark clouds, hence the reason why we remain peely-wally (pale) and have delayed-onset wrinkles - lol.

So they didn't test any natural products. They are all standard high street pots of chemicals. They could have at least added a plain oil like olive or jojoba and see how that compared.

so who paid for the research? Simple by any chance? Which? are not as impartial as they like us to believe! It was certainly not made clear in all reporting that the report related to eye creams only - it was very ambiguous. So at the end of the day it seems the same advice applies - you decide what suits you and what price you are willing to pay.

What a load of rubbish! The Consumers' Association (i.e. Which?) publish the Good Food Guide, amongst various other things. One of the frustrating things for the Good Food Guide team is that the rules to ensure that their products cannot in any way be interpreted as having accepted advertising are SO STRICT that there are all sorts of things that they cannot do to promote themselves. One example was that a few years back Renault wanted to give away a free copy of the Good Food Guide with each car, it was referrred to the appropriate committee upstairs and they decided that it was "too close to forming a commercial relationship", so they wouldn't permit it to happen. :rotfl:

I thought that as there are some fab natural/chemical free/lower chemical free products about too in addition to natural oils. I do use the Simple face wipes - another good thing about the Simple range is that it is cruelty free:D Ive never been tempted by the more expensive creams/a lot of the high street ones like Boots due to their animal testing policies. Simple and even Superdrug now with a lot of their own brand ranges are cruelty free which is great.

aytch

All simple range - 3 for 2 on Boots :j

Hersetta

Simple range (including this cream and face wipes are £2.91 each in tesco's or 3 for £5.

bebebelle

Been using the Simple Cream for a few days now.It feels very watery and not very nice on my face.Not for me.

Back to Decleor, Im afraid........more fool me :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Cat72

Does anyone know the best place to buy the simple eye cream ? Is it on offer at tesco and superdrug too ?
