L'Oreal Revitalift Laser Renew

Just caught an advert on TV and it's made my brain explode.


It's for "L'Oreal Revitalift Laser Renew" - ie, posh moisturiser.


Voiceover man: with our highest concentration of proxylane
Big graphics in the middle of screen: 3% PRO-OXYLANE
Small print at the bottom of the screen: Temporary proven effect
Voiceover: independently tested Hyaluronic Acid
Big graphics: HYALURONIC ACID
Small print: Temporary proven effect
Voiceover: proven effectiveness
Big graphics: PROVEN EFFECTIVENESS
Small print: Temporary proven effect
Big graphics and Andi McDowell, "my skin feels FIRMER and SMOOTHER" yadda yadda.
Voiceover: 80% of women considering a laser treatment said they would delay it.
Big graphics: 80% WOULD DENY LASER TREATMENT
Small print: 245 women aged 40-65
Cut to Andi, hands on hips and pouting, "I trust science, not miracles"
Cut to voiceover and graphics again, "The Daily Mail says IT REALLY WORKS"
We're worth it.
Honestly, how does this !!!! get past the ASA?
It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.
