Beauty Bible - FREE test products for those with red skin

This came through today - low numbers and as always done on a first come first served basis, but there is no charge for the product or P&P this time :beer:

Dear beauty-hounds......
Do you suffer from redness - and would you like to help us identify products that make a difference.?
We are entering the very, very last stages of testing for The Anti-Ageing Beauty Bible, and we are looking for 100 testers to try products to tackle redness, which we've been collating over the past few months.
This is a very specific trial: we are looking to recruit women who have a tendency to redness and broken veins, or the very early stages of rosacea - rather than full-on rosacea, as this can be so incredibly reactive to new products. And - importantly - you need to be over 35.
Just this once, for sufferers of red skin, we are making no charge for sending the products out. We feel that because this is an area that causes such distress to women, if we can identify - with your help - products which make a difference, it will be worth shouting from the rooftops. (We normally have to charge for postage, packing and the massive cost of running this operation - but we are making an exception here.)
NB We do need you to be aware that there is an outside chance that because of the change in your regime, your problem might actually get worse - as with the introduction of anything new to your skincare routine. In that case, you should stop using the product and let us know.
You must be a sufferer of redness or broken veins, to take part. If you are, and you'd like to assess a product over a period of months (which includes switching from your usual moisturiser or cleanser, in most cases) - then please use the click-thru below to the application form .

Very best wishes and hope you're enjoying the summer,


PS Unfortunately we can't accept testers from outside the UK and Irish Republic. Also, we can't include you if you are already testing products for us, as there's a risk the regimes may conflict and we need you to complete your trials for the products you already have under way.

    I received this email this morning. Luckily, it something I do not suffer with.

    I hope people who do not suffer don't apply. Some people apply for anything that is free.

    I got my 10 products for the over 35 trial Tuesday. Some great stuff.

    Thanks OP, I've just applied too - I've struggled for years trying to combat my redness - this sounds just up my street:)

    Fingers crossed - if I get it I might even find a cure for my redness:beer:

    WOW Crimpqueem,
    You have got some fab goodies, i have never had so many top brand products
    You are so lucky trying them out, what do you think of them
    I have been testing for about 4 years but last years was disappointing as i did not get any good brands
