Cosmetic Research- test free toiletries, cosmetics and skincare (merged)

I am considering signing up for Alba Science. Do you get any cash for the products you test? I just want to know how safe everyone has found everything they have done, you hear horror stories about testing products and want to check if it is completely safe.
Thank you in advance everyone x

I signed up for Alba but have never heard anything. There is also a link on their site for over 60s which I've tried clicking on a few times but always get a message saying it's closed. So hope you have better luck, a lot of people on here do trials for them with no ill effects - it's a trial of effectiveness of the products and likeability rather than safety.

I had quite a few trials since I joined (i also apply for my mum to test the over 60's products and she is currently doing a trial). They are all toiletries so unless you have sensistive skin, there should be no problem with them. I have like everything I have tested so far. You do not get paid, but they are very generous products, not small tester size.

Thank you both very much - think I'll sign up, I've got nothing to lose!
Thanks again xx

Is anybody doing the Oxy trial with Clix/Clicks? The trial was supposed to start on 28th May but I still haven't received my sample.

I got an invite for a new trial this morning, logged in 20 minutes later and it was already full. Not impressed!

I filled in my profile 1,5 weeks ago and it says that I'm fully profiled but the question mark is still there...
I even filled things in that normally I wouldn't need to, but still no results.
Can anyone help?

I have been a member for around 5/6 years and and I have never managed to get fully profiled. I still get asked to fill in surveys so don't worry about it too much

I see. I'm just not really sure if they still do it in Belgium... I see a lot of people from the UK but not from where I live and I never heard of it before until I found an add on a website...
But thanks for the reply, I hope I'll get a trial in the near future xP
