Do you always believe what it says on beauty products?

Wow, I want that product your mum uses, 10 years younger, I am 29 years old that means I can look 19 years old, that would be awesome. Can you tell me what the product was called that your mum used, as I would really like to try it? You seem to have alot of common sense and knowledge on skincare products, I appreciate your valuable response. I agree with what you said about stretch marks, they do reduce over time, but sadly they are still there. Maybe the creams have lightened them, not sure if it was the creams or time, lol. That is good food for thought you mentioned about all the chemicals.

Hello friend...she uses the Anew skin line from AVON. They have a few different ones depending on your age and what stage of aging your skin is in. For ages 25-35 the "Retroactive+" line would be initially recommended, but if you have fine lines and wrinkles already, you could go up to the next level and that would be the "Force Extra" line. My mom and her sister use the third level (Ultimate), because of their age group/skin condition. And all they use is the day cream, night cream and eye cream...though there is targeted creams and serums you can also get. (My mom actually skips using one of the creams during the summer because it made her breakout but during winter she uses both). You can take a "quiz" at this link to find out what regimen would be recommended for you. http://tinyurl.com/4nwso9 Then, you can go to the Avon Australia site at http://www.avon.com.au/ . It doesn't look like you can shop online there, though. But you could find exactly what you want and find a rep through the site...if you decide you would like to try it. I am not sure about Australia, but here Avon has a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Wow thanks above31rubies for going out of you way and giving me this information, much appreciated. I will check out these links that you gave me. I am 29 years old, so I don't have too many wrinkles yet, lol, but prevention would be great and increase elasticity in the skin. Sounds good, have a great day, you give great advice.

That is cheeky of them not putting all the ingredients on the packet, we have a right to know as buyers what we are putting on our body. Like you said, whatever we put onto our skin absorbs into our body.

LOl, I would use 10 bottles if it would do what it says and price would not matter as much if it really worked. If someone could invent a product that could eliminate or drastically reduce stretch marks they would be a billionaire. I do think some face washes work like you said to help get rid of pimples. I appreciate your valuable response have a great day.

Your mum was lucky, I used coco butter and biooil all through my pregnancy too and it did not work for me. I am also a bit of sceptic as I have done a marketing degree too. I do think some of them do what they say to a degree, but the truth is stretched, lol.

Great response, you have some great advice. I don't have to worry about sagging sking as yet, only 29 years old. As for my stretch marks well luckily they are below my belly button so I can still wear bikini, he he. I do need to srink more water, that is great advice, I often forget to drink enough of it. I guess smiling will give me smile frinkles instead of frown ones, he he, maybe I should keep my smile like Mona Lisa then I won't get any wrinkles in that area on my face. Never heard of bending exercises to help with stretch marks, what type of bending exercises are you referring to? Have a great day, you have given me something to think about now.

Thanks a lot for giving me a best response rating! At 29 you are still very young my dear but it's good that you start taking care of your skin.Yes, you start consuming lots of water, it is good for your skin and for your health as well. The body bending exercise is simply reaching your toes without bending your knees. It will smoothen your belly and your stretch marks may be minimized. God bless!

Yes it is very frustrating when products say they are going to do something and it doesn't. One product though that I have heard good reviews on about anti acne is proactive I think that is one of the real products out there that actually does work.

so do you know what name of the product name?i think i can recomman to my friend ...now i using New Skin product,in our country ,can consider expensive.so i think i will change other brand...

It is called Proactiv - sorry I spelt it wrong before. Here is the link, you can purchase it online if you like. http://www.proactiv.com.au

I think some of them work a little but not like they say it. They do have a great target market, women would love to believe all these things as true. If there is ever a product that does do these things the makers will be millionaires.

true

Yes I think some people do get reactions to certain products with all the chemicals they put in them. I agree if these products did work then you would not see people with skin care problems such as acne or noone would have wrinkles, lol!

Yes I agree some products work better on others than it does on yourself, trial and error is the way. However I still think alot of the products totally exaggerate their claims. Also with the commercials you have to wonder how much make up and lighting they use in the after shots, lol.

That's what I want to say. Sorry bout that.

What do you mean, "I am into skimpy clothes anyway?" Did you mean to say you are not into skimpy clothes? Thanks for sharing your products with us that you have tried.

Yes I agree I think it is all about making money for them. Wow, making your own herbal products that is awesome. I wish I could make my own products but don't think I am that talented, lol.

Do you recommend any good products?

I agree, I think some of the expensive products do work a little but I don't think they work to the extent that they promise. I have also tried the whitening creams to try and reduce pigmentation from pregnancy. Don't know whether it is disappearing now because now had baby or if it is from the cream. That is true with the tanning lotions they are good.

I am with you, I notice tiny differences but never drastic what they claim. So frustrating, particularly if you pay alot for a product you expect to see results.

Interesting point you have there, could be true.

Your the second person here to recommend jergens, think I have to give that one a shot, thanks for sharing your successes with skincare products.

I know it is very frustrating especially when you spend alot of money on these products and no visible changes are seen.
