SBC Pricing Error !!

[donna255]

It has been proved the collagen molecule is too big to do any good, it won't go anyway near your own collagen or help it in any way. I love arnica which I actually seen bring down a very swollen ankle and take the bruising out. But I wouldn't expect the collagen to do anything than work as a light moisturizer in gel form, in a cream base it will do more as other ingredients help to moisturize. I used to use it as a body gel in the summer and nothing more.

SBC I tend to buy the ones that have natural medical like thing going for them. I don't go near the fruity shower/body stuff or the face products. But I have mild roseaca so am wary these days of what I will put on my face.

Okay, so it's turned up. I only bought it because it was a bargain, so what the hell do I do with it????

Last night I thought I'd mix a bit of the Collagen Gel with some AD Skin Synergy Oil.
It didn't go well. Turned into a weird white colour.

It then occurred to me that water & oil don't mix so I won't be trying that again!
Will try mixing with some Skin Repair tonight.

p.s. It's really cooling after shaving. I thought the alcohol might sting a bit, but it didn't at all. Liked it a lot.

I think skincare is all about personal choice, what works for one doesn't work for all , I think you need to find out what is causing the irritation / sensitivity,perhaps try not using the gels for a week or so and see if theres any difference, if none then change other parts of your routine, Depending on what cleanser your using , i often find thats what irritates my skin the most,

And therein lies the problem... I've kept an extensive diary for Immunology clinic. Nothing in particular seems to cause the flare-ups. I've tried using products nightly, every other, weekly - any which way. Just when I think something's fine, boom! I wake up with a deep-fried face again!

I'm on a lot of medication and Immunology says it's probably something to do with this, but if this is so, why the random flare-ups if I've been using a certain formulation of a med (chemist knows not to mix generics unless I ask)? I know I'm chemical-sensitive (can't even browse my local Yankee store, though have no problem with Lush. Both shops I'd know I'm walking towards blindfolded! Odd). Can't touch or breathe in certain cleaning products and even some hand creams (though no problems in this respect with face/body creams).

Like ILS, though, if I do use any the SBC gels on my face for several days - even the propolis - I get tight, flaky skin. The redness is not an automatic thing. I only started thinking about this after doing some research ingredients after a previous flare-up. The article got me worried about alcohols and future damage, even though I wasn't getting a definite link to some products, just randomly. Sigh.

Well, after being using this stuff for a week, I've gotta say, I'm really impressed.
I'm using it twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Then before bed I put on some AD Skin Oil.
My face feels 'smoother' for want of a better word.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but when these bottles run out, yes I'll buy them again. I just wish they were a different colour. Anything but pink!!

Mine arrived today. The last 500ml took 2 years to use. Wonder how long this lot will last. I cant see a date on the bottle anywhere the last one had 24 months on it.

Well I've had this about 6 weeks now and I've already used about a third of the bottle!!
I'm only using one pump twice a day. I do like it though, so I don't mind.

As I've said before, I only bought it because it was my way of sticking two fingers up at Q. I've never even contemplated buying it before. Chuffed to bits really. I'll definitely buy it again.

How is everyone else getting on with it?

LOL I am still finishing the 2 year old bottle. Thanks for the reminder as the anti aging creams I have been using are causing my skin to peel so the collagen gel is probably a better option on a daily basis

Ive finished off my old bottle and have just started one of the 500mls from the Duo , Use it every day and my skin loves it , i could easily put 2 or 3 layers on, Its saved me a fortune on face moisturisers
