Thanks. I've ordered the lumineux one along with the ultra mild cleanser and under eye dark circle treatment! And of course, the mandelic/salicylic peel!

Do I need an extra day/night cream - as in is the lumineux just a 'post peel' one? I loooooovvvveee buying new lotions and potions!

I would see how that goes, you can always get the lovely night treatments later. If you got it from the links I added its a moisturiser.

I sometimes have a night off and use seabuckthorn oil as a moisturiser which apart from ooompa loooompaness is lovely lol

You get 8 vials in the box which is supposed to give you 8 'goes' but I slather it on and still don't use a full one!! So it means you get quite a lot out of it

Really ? Wow, that's a lot eh ?
I'm not sure I was expecting that many for the money , I guess I thought maybe 3 goes, possible 5 at the most, so 8+ is good


I want to try the one for acne/pores/blackheads next, as my pores are massive

No pot - you should use salicylic peel for pores. That's why I use it. Go and have a look at the site melly linked. The prices are great. And the products work :T

My pores are massive too - I am eagerly awaiting some mandelic/salicylic like fizzy suggested!

I have also ordered some dark circle eye stuff and mild cleanser. And a pot of the lumineux cream.

I have to say, even with only using the boots stuff, I have hardly had to to use my prescription acne cream!! Result!

What prescription acne cream have you got anon? Is it retin a/tretoinin ?

No - it's Duac - think benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin(sp). I have only used it a handful of times since starting the no 7 kit. Also, when I have used it, it has always only ever been on days where I haven't used the peel.

Thanks fizzy
After reading this thread the other day, I put this on my wish list on Amazon
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Salicylic-Treatment-Neutraliser-applicators-Anti-ageing/dp/B00HPX3FAW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=45OY2QKMZV17&coliid=IPCRICG1BF38G
Do you think I would be better by passing the boots one then, and just going straight for that ?:)

I have just looked on ebay and that exact same kit is only £5.95 with free p&p. it is sold by sr skincare on there which I believe is forever young now?

I was just wondering if anyone here can help? I have just purchased the salicylic acid from active solutions and on the directions it says to apply the acid and leave for 2 minutes and then apply the neutraliser gel. So am I right in thinking that you do not rinse your face between applying the acid and applying the neutraliser? You just rinse after the neutraliser has been on? Sorry if this is a daft question but it is confusing me a little...thank you:D

Exactly right! The neutraliser does as it says in that is neutralises the effect of the peel. I just rinse after that to freshen up the rest and gently pat dry.
