Hi it was me who is covered in bumps!!! its strange because ive used it (from different pots) for 5 days and then the last 2 days (from a diff pot) its made me come out in bumps - wonder if its just something in that batch?

An allergy can be immediate (in which case, you'd be daft to ever use it again) or take several weeks to develop.

It might not necessarily be a reaction to the moisturiser, and could be due to something topically applied or even ingested up to several weeks ago. (I've read this is due to the time taken for new layers of skin to work their way to the top.)

If you've been using new haircare products, it could also be a reaction to them.

(I wash my hair with moisturising face wash, due to the harsh chemicals in shampoos.)

cant really demand a refund on FREE moisturisers - and wouldnt have the cheek (!!) but would have a replacement for one of the other moisturisers that were on the free offer - but is that cheeky?

Whatever fits in with your own moral code!

Think you'd be unwise to get another Botanics moisturiser as the majority of the ingredients are the same in each. (Just compare the labels)

Just got back from boots and have managed to get the free no7 wrap for £2.50 as suggested by bedshaped.

I bought
2 x facial aftersun £7.50 each
- £7.50 bogof
- £5.00 no7 voucher

---

= £2.50 (though actually used 250 points coupon so sort of free!)

SO_ the till does calculate the total spend for the free bag BEFORE any discounts.
BTW- the wrap is beautiful. This might not make it to my presents room (previously drawer, then box, then cupboard.........xx)

so.....

sorry im a little slow this morning

If i buy something from the BOGOF at £7.50 and another item at £7.50 I can still get the wrap free even though I would only be paying £7.50 (well... £2.50 as I have a no7 voucher)

bedshaped

Thanks foxy - I have orders from my daughter (shes 11) that she wants one of these so will be off there later to pick a couple up with my saved No7 vouchers.

I got 6 4 1 yesterday and picked up 6 factor 15 sunscreens so I may take 2 back to exchange them for factor 25 (didnt have any yesterday in different store) so hopefully I can do that and pay any extra thats owing and get a bag.

Here are the details for the new coupons that are being given out- you get one of each (not sure how much you have to spend to get one)

Save £2.50 on the following brands

ladies
nivea visage
time delay
botanics
garnier
neutrogena pure glow
sanctuary


mens
nivea men
loreal men expert
botanics
K2
The real shaving company

My first thoughts........ the people that haven't managed to find the reduced time delay facial kit could buy it for £2.49 by using this voucher and the Change 1 thing coupon??
I have seen reduced sanctuary facial products in 2 stores- so could be even cheaper or free with this coupon.

Thanks for the info, I've binned makeup brushes, not using new hairspray new blusher or new bronzer again in case its that. I'll have to get to boots for some Piriton antihistamines i think!!

Thanks for the info, think ill just call this one a loss on the moisturisers! you win some you lose some!

Yes. Both items have to be from the no7 bogof- which is all the suncare apart from the tanning stuff.
