Three products from Skin Science to test - a face wash that can magically (nooooo....scientifically, Lucy) identify the difference between dead skin cells that one wants shot of, and good skin cells that one wants to hang on to with both hands. Also a Renewal Complex Cream that has something revolting to do with sperm in it (spermine, actually. I am just very suggestible), and an eye cream.
I absolutely LOVED the face wash, or Marine Foaming Enzyme Cleanser, oddly titled as it suggests one has a massive marine foaming enzyme that is in great need of a quick rub down with some Cillit Bang. However; it is fabulous. Perfect texture, stays around long enough in the shower to get rid of lingering eye make up and my face felt smooth and even moisturised afterwards. Loved it.
The Bio Active Renewal Complex Cream is effective. Skin feels plumped up and smooth afterwards. However, I hate the smell. Not that the smell lingers, but it doesn't have a luxurious feel about it, merely clinical. Some people like that. I am too frivolous, probably.
And Sarah, a 35 year old mother of four boys tested the eye cream (because boy did she need to); she seems to exist on around two and a half hours sleep a night. She very much approves of it - better than Dr Hauschka which she finds drying, she said it was easy to put on and seemed to lift her eyes and make her look perkier than she felt (and God knows that is what most of us need most of the time). She said it is quite difficult to apply it as instructed without getting some in her eye which then stung, but she got the hang of it on the third application.
We both VERY much like Skin Science's strapline - age management. Realistic, effective and treats consumers like grown-ups. Hurrah for that.
