New from Kiehl's - Super Multi-Corrective Cream

Kiehl's has unveiled its new Super Multi-Corrective Cream to tackle and correct multiple key signs of ageing.
The cream includes beech tree extract, jasmonic acid and fragmented hyaluronic acid, three anti-ageing ingredients which have been combined before in a cream format.
With 39 trials and 17 months of development, clinical results demonstated that after two weeks, using twice a day, facial wrinkles were visibly reduced, the skin texture was refined, skin elasticity and skin radiance was improved, while visible pore size was reduced, and within four weeks, clinical results doubled on these attributes.
Priced at £48 for 50ml, the new Super Multi-Corrective Cream will be available from 1 September at Selfridges, Kiehl's stores and online, then launching nationwide on 15 September. www.kiehls.co.uk / @kiehlsuk

New No7 Lift & Luminate Dark Spot Corrector - Review

New from No7 is their Lift & Luminate Dark Spot Corrector, this is designed to reduce the overproduction on melanin which will in turn cause dark spots to lighten & their appearance lessen. The product contains no bleaching ingredients at all which is great news & is hypo-allergenic so suitable for sensitive skins, the ingredients include saphora, kiwi extract & vitamin c all of which inhibit the over-production of melatonin.

I was lucky enough to receive a tube of the new wonder product from No7, I'm already a huge fan of their Protect & Perfect range so was intrigued by this latest offering! As I'm still a little young for age spots (just!), I kindly asked my Mother In Law to try it out, delighted to be my guinea pig she jumped at the chance after reading glowing reports in a recent magazine! I'm glad to say she wasn't disappointed & in fact noticed only after a week that there was a noticeable reduction in several of the darker age spots that have recently appeared. Now after nearly a month the reduction in their appearance is so much so the need for a new concealer is certainly no longer there & now scored off the shopping list! Over all the density of the colour fades & the actual size is much less which is fantastic! 

A brilliant product over all as it is easy to apply & feels great on the skin, for best results of course follow with a full regime with the Lift & Luminate Day & Night Serum as well as moisturiser containing an SPF.

I would definitely recommend this for anybody who would like to reduce the appearance of their age spots plus it's a lot less invasive (not to mention cheaper!) than salon based treatments which is a great bonus!
