de tuinen snail gel

wendy+5

I'm not keen on this at all. I find it really sticky and I'm having to use loads more moisturiser than normal.
I'll give it a couple more days though.

Becbec - I would imagine it will keep fine til Christmas.

wendy - I know what you mean by the stickiness, but I found it disappeared after 10 mins. In my opinion the downside to using this product is that it takes me a little longer to get ready in a morning. When I've cleansed my face I put on the gel, that then needs leaving to soak in, then I put my moisturiser ontop - leave for 10 mins then makeup. But I've managed to work it round my morning routine. The results are pretty good though.

I agree with flippin, it does change your routine, but I just put it on and then dry my hair and then moisturise. I also find tapping it on rather than rubbing it in helps. One week on and I am still loving it, improvement is very good.

I must admit I couldn't face putting it on last night as my dog had brought in a garden snail for me to play with :eek:

I do like the texture of my skin now - it's not doing much about my little red patches though - if anything, they're looking more vivid against my pale skin. Don't know what all that's about?

Give it a few days minxy because its really sorted out my red blotchy skin. Its not gone completely but its calmed down considerably, and with my foundation over the top you can't see it at all now.

Cool! I will perservere, so long as the dog doesn't bring me any more squelchy presents :eek:. A little certainly goes a long way, doesn't it? I've hardly touched the contents of the tub!

But don't you find the 'effects' of it are only while the stuff is on your face?
When you take it off what has improved?

I think the jury's out on that, perhaps until I've finished the jar. I'm not too sure because when I take my makeup off and cleanse my face I'm immediately reapplying the gel. I really think its cleared up some of the redness on my face that I usually get from dryness and sensitivities to other products. TBH its just nice having a product that doesn't make my skin sore. Even Perfect and protect makes my skin sting. I have been applying it under my eyes and the fine lines are slightly diminished but obviously are still there. That could be just the tightening of the skin as opposed to plumping the skin out. I think I need to finish the jar to make my mind up as to whether its worth buying another - certainly at the £20 price. But would welcome other people's opinions good and bad.

I think my skin has improved a lot, the under the skin bumps have all but gone and my overall skin tone is good certainly improved, there is a really noticable difference in the lines between my eyebrows more so when I have the product on but still a difference without it, I do think you have to moisturise with another product as well though so the combi of the two is what my skin likes atm:)

I agree with Glowgirl. I've been using this gel for just over a week and even when I've cleansed my skin, I can still see the improvement in my skin texture. Just looked in the mirror - my nose to mouth lines and definately improved (haven't really got the frown lines between my eyebrows, luckily, so can't comment there), but I have been putting this underneath my eyes (no reaction) and it has made a noticable reduction to my eye bags:j (despite not having enough sleep). I've already bought my next pot (whilst it's still half price).

My skin is dry (and sensitive at times), so I always use this with a moisturiser on top, I very rarely wait the recommended 10 mins though!
