Anyone tried it? I've got my skin to a point where I'm virtually spot free so would like to start work on the remaining marks and this has got both amazing reviews and terrible reviews, so if anyone's used it on here I'd like to know what they think.

I bought it today, it was £37.50 :eek:

So it better blimin' well work!

I love it, I had acne as a child up until I was 26 (im 28 now) and this has made a difference, combinded with the Avon micro dermabration scrub I think the scars are fading.

Good luck

I have the new clinical one, used to use the old version too and i love it. I think you need to be realistic about the results you expect, you also need to use a high spf everyday and avoid laying out in the sun. I use the clinique city block spf 40, its a nice base for makeup. The serum does improve my skin and i notice when i dont use it. Cliniques turnaround serum is also nice and i use the boots no 7 protect and perfect serum at night or when the £s are low. Dont bother with the clinique even better foundation though, the coverage isnt great and it sits on my skin feeling tacky, but i am used to the feel of mineral foundation.

Agree dont expect over night miracles but after 6 months can really see a difference.

To be honest I've been really impressed with it so far and I've only been using it a week! It seems to have smoothed my skin considerably, plus, for some reason the little indentations I had from bad spots seem to have faded completely! I'm definitely going to stick with it. I almost didn't as I've had clear skin for a little while now and the day after the first time I used it I had three new spots, but they faded quickly and no new ones have arrived. So maybe those who said it broke them out need to stick with it for a few days before writing it off? I'm definitely going to stick with it! It does seem to have given me a weirdly bumpy nose, but you can't see the bumps (only feel them) so hopefully that'll disappear with time.

Thanks for your replies

That's interesting as that's the age mine cleared up too!
