    Pinkclanger - Alpha-H is amazing stuff. I discovered it last year and it is the first time ever I've found something that suits my skin. What a bargain!

    Pink if you've got ageing, greasy and sun damaged skin you'll find it brilliant! But I'm sure it suits other skins too. Incidentally if you love it and need more it's a fair bit cheaper on Ebay.
