Just after a few reviews from any ladies using the SKII range of skincare.
I'm getting older and have definitely noticed my skin ageing in the last year or so (especially) so I think my current skincare regime just isnt cutting it anymore. For my age, I have good skin and have always taken care of it but, let's face it, you cant fight time forever and I'm definitely seeing fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes, forehead and mouth that I need to bring out the big guns of skincare to combat now. I hear so many women raving about SKII but have held back til now purely because of the price of it. I'm a SAHM now so dont want, nor do I have the cashflow anymore, to shell out hundreds of dollars on a skincare range that doesnt meet up to the hype/expectation. I dont want to name or shame other products but I've tried a lot of brands, some with better results than others and my experience has taught me that for the majority of them, you do get what you pay for which is why I'm contemplating the switch from the budget priced range I'm using now to SKII. Oh, and I already regularly use rosehip oil. So, What SKII products do you recommend? And, do they work? Are they really worth the money? Or, have you tried SKII but found better results from something else? Once I find a new skincare range I'm happy with, I think my next step is to save up for fillers but that's purely because I'm totally having an anxiety attack over turning 40 this year. Gulp! TIA |

Sorry I haven't tried it so I can't help you but I'll be watching any replies with interest. I've tried looking at 'productreview.com.au' website but none of the SKII products have been reviewed yet unfortunately.

I'll be watching this too... I was interested in this skincare but couldn't find ingredient lists online (as there is a common preservative I react to).
If it's really that good, it'll motivate me to go into Myer and read the fine print |

I tried it and was seriously underwhelmed. It didn't make my skin any worse, but it didn't make it much better either.
There's a number of brands I'd buy before it. FWIW, I recently changed to ASAP and I'm loving the results. |

I used to use it when I could afford it! I definitely noticed it appeared to improve the skin around my eyes. I loved all the products I used which was the face wash, toner, moisturiser and eye cream.
I have sensitive skin and it made my skin lovely and didn't clog my pores. |

Thank you all for your responses.
LB: I have checked out the review website you recommended and I think I'll bite the bullet and try it. A lot of reviewers mentioned sample sizes to begin with so I'll see if I can track them down for starters. DH will probably have a stroke if I convert the whole-hog straight away but, if it works, it's cheaper than surgery. Thanks all for your replies. |

I think you can get better products cheaper.
Try retin a cream, vitamin c serum. The loreal micro dermabrasion kit is nice and even the old aspirin mask works a treat. |

No, I don't think any skincare is worth that much money.
