Out of interest lir, how do you think it compares to other products on the market? I love Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair and swear by it and its sister products and with their TIme Zone and Idealist products you see smooth skin and wrinkles fade. I seem to remember you use some of these too. Wondered how they stack up. Can't see how SpaceNK can be £250 better.

By space NK I meant the shop, not a particular product. Like a sweetie store for grown women...al those smells and colours....

I LOVE Estee Laudee Advanced night repair. the new super concentrate is AMAZING, as is the eye one. I just don't think anything beats them for me. space NK gave me a goody bag at an event recently, and I'm svaing some of the stuff for ''best''. I find I get really excited at the start of a product but then the great effects don't last, where as EL stuff stays true! I just finished the eye stuff and a serum, can't remember whether or not the last one was idealist...it was a wrinkly one not a pore minimising one. I'm in the health and beauty forum challange to buy no more products until stashes are cleared. I have various tubes of stuff I have flirted with and never finished that I'm getting used up before I buy any more stuff, but it will always include at least advanced night repair. I think the eye one too.

The other week someone at the hairdressers thought I was, at most 26 :j:j :j. But I am having issues with break outs atm. I seem to be making up for few problems in teens with having issues now:o

Wow lucky you!

On a totally different issue, if you're not doing anything at the moment, do try switching to Sky News. For some bizarre reason, Paula Middlehurst (the news anchor) is wearing the same hair style that Pauline Collins wore in Upstairs Downstairs. Very strange.

I find basics soap and a slick of lard does wonders.

But then I have worn lipstick twice in the last week - a personal best. I think I almost qualify as female.

ROFL, I'm guessing humour does too

I would never spend a fortune on a face cream but then dematologists say that all these expensive face creams do little anyway. The only genuine 'treatment' for wrinkles is Retin-A (tretinoin), which is a form of vitamin A.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tretinoin. It's used to treat acne and the anti-aging effect was discovered by chance. In it's pure form it has to be used with caution because of its potentially harsh effect on the skin.

Lots of face creams contain retinol or retinyl palmitate, similarly derived from vitamin A. This explains in more detail.... http://www.smartskincare.com/treatments/topical/retinol.html

they are very dedicated sleuths.


treliac, I used to us a retin-a product from overseas...honestly it wasno better than advanced night repair. and it stank, literally it smelled. My mother is currently using a collagen and retin a combo, and both of them stink.

That's probably because you're too young to need it.

It's done wonders for my skin.

I really hope you are right, on your recommendation I have just bought EL online.

I strongly suspect we are both deluded
