It’s expensive, the Age Delay hand cream duo is around £25 as far as I remember and was on free pnp when I orderedThe hand cream duo is now live. £32.50 + £3.95 postage but advanced orders w/c 9/5/16. Doesn't look like its on a special price.

I read somewhere yesterday that the difference between instant facial and LG is that instant facial is not alcohol based when LG is.
I've just turned out a drawer that was full of beauty products so I can use it for clothes again and was stunned to see how much alpha h I've got, consequence largely of AD's I forgot to cancel. I'm banning myself from buying anything tomorrow I daren't count but I must have around 10 bottles of liquid gold varying sizes and I've only been buying it for 2 years.
haha you two DD and MML
obvs if anyone is in need of topping up their LG stocks
now is the time to speak up )
otherwise, here are some ideas/recipe to use up some LG :
mix LG with the Daily Gentle exfoliator powder (if you have it )
to make a mask you can paint on with a brush (day or night)
mix LG with clay powder like bentonite or pink clay
and apply with brush
(similar to mixing with Daily Exfoliant Powder, just minus the Pineapple enzymes/AHA)
use LG as an acid toner before a mask
to remove some surface dead skin
so mask can work better
esp good for deep cleansing/clay mask type things
I tried the All Bright Toner and it had no effect whatsoever on my skin except for the alcohol drying out a bit. It is no alternative to LG, I would rather prefer either the LG, the exfoliating toner from Clarins or Pixi's Glow Tonic.yeah, i just went and checked, and you are correct
i have a small 30ml bottle of the Instant Facial from the pick'n'mix sample thingy directly from AH
i think the idea is/was a lazy quick morning one
all in one, cleanse, acid tone and on with spf mosturiser
i thought it was a good idea esp for a quick thing on a warm summers morn
when wanting to get out quickly
i have no idea how it would perform on a regular basis
and if it is really feasible to omit the cleanse step more than once in a blue moon
i have used it a couple of times,
and again today,
cos of this thread
but i can't really give you a proper 'review'
basically, it feels like an low glycolic acid toner with a bit of glycerin in it to me
and it leaves some dirt on the cotton wool pad, as a toner would
and as i am writing this,
i will probably try, for a much more bon marche solution, instead of Instant Facial
the Boots Botanics toners, one was a brightening one with AHA acid via Hibiscus
and the other is a Hydration Burst one - both have glycerin in which mosturises
well, gone and checked, they are marketed as 'Micellar'
bought them on offer not that long ago and must have paid less then a fiver for 2 x 250ml
might try one of those for a quick summer morning cleanse/facial
possibly the AHA one first and the hydrating one straight after,
stealing the idea from Hirons via MML

Sorry *blush*, I tried the toner as a possible cheaper alternative to LG. Seems I didn't read properly.i did not suggest it as an alternative to LG
i suggested it as an alternative to Instant Facial (morning cleanse, acid tone all in one)
anyway...enough from me...
