(Thanks, I know I'm a pain but just to confirm you use the relief gel first and then the blemish care )- is this like a toner? Do you use a moisturiser?)

Once I've had my shower and used just a bog standard soap (Boots one from the expert range as there doesn't seem to be anything harsh in it. I make sure i've splashed loads of cold water on my face as this helps to close the pores (otherwise you just end up basically shoving cream into the pores) i put the relief gel on then after a few minutes when it's had time to properly dry on my face i put on the blemish care. I've found two or three little squirts of both is about enough.;)both are effectively moisutisers

I've just come back onto this thread after a long absence on PC threads. Does anyone have an idea of what is best at Boots for making a 44 year old stocky bloke look like a 23 year old Adonis? With triple points this weekend now could be the time to start my transformation

I wonder if they do trade ins? you could have one of the young Saturday lads off one of the tills and leave the 44 year old in his place - don't know whether you'd get triple points on a trade in though:p

No freebies on my Boots card (which I use regularly), and just the free Trevor Sorbie conditioner on OH card (which I used last week for the first time in months).

That sounds great,is it easy to apply?

There is 750 pts online for 2 Estee purchases
Is there not a lovely gift in store for 2 purchases.?
I think one can be a sharpener!

Might treat myself as I like "stay put" foundation.Most of them just go shiny and fall off my face!

I have been using the clinique soap (which is great - more or less completely cleared my spots) followed by protect and perfect and no7 moisturiser for oily skin. This was originally great but last few weeks the shine has come back, and pores are still large. Does the blemish care sort out open posres and shine or just clear up spots? (I know it says it does on the packet put wondered if anyone could let me know their experiences)

No freebies on my card which is used a lot and has over £100 on it, and nothing worth having on OHs card either. P&P in store, got one plus No7 GWP for 1675pts, was not allowed new voucher, boohoo. No mags in this store. Still no more ROC gwps either.

Went to smaller store and they DO have the mags, got just one. They had no No7 GWPS or ROC gwps either.

Creme eggs were still full price as far as I could see, had to get my chocolate fix from Tesco .

I find the revlon colour stay great. I use the one for oily skin. The shine does come through after a while, but it stays on regardless. Just need to find something to stop the shine now!

I've been using the blemish care since Monday and have religiously made sure I've splashed my face with cold water first to close the pores, but i can honestly say the state of the pores on my nose are much better than with anything else I've used - I've just got to make sure that the first day I notice my skin beginning to stop reacting to the new products I'm trying to swop to something else for a week. It sounds like you have the same problem your skin gets used to what you're using so the benfits of the actual products stop working.
