Oh that is a lot of product…. I’ve never used this brand. Has anyone else? I might give it a go if the price is OK. I shouldn’t have looked on this thread!
I really meant to say AC is only a marketing person!I don’t see Abbi Cleeves as a skincare expert, OK she has fronted Ultrasun but is she not a marketing person so why the name on the products? Obviously picking up knowledge of the way but does this not suggest that these products are her creation? Are they?
But in adverts she does wear a white coat and glasses.I really meant to say AC is only a marketing person!
PenelopePitStop,I had the starter/trial/tester kit when it first came out. Nice bag but the products were OK. I've tried bits from the Tili boxes and the Hydra stuff was a smidge better. I had a full size serum from TK Maxx for about £7 RRP £40ish and did not notice any difference at all. And I tested that doing the half face thing. Nada, zilch, zero difference.
I studied Stats as part of my Maths & Stats degree so know the sums behind testing. I also tested a lot of software as a programmer for 25+ years. With both of those I'd say I could, put a test plan forward for things and found the brand meh.
I don't mind fragrance in a product but... found the fragrance pleasant just a generic skin care type smell. I was late to the Liz Earle regime but found a lot of it chemically and the original hair conditioner yes, I vomited more than once, avoided it after the second time. I find most of Judith Williams too fragranced as well, I like the white (her spa stuff, but in small doses) and green (cell something). Elemis was used in my former gym so that reminds me of sweaty men doing weights so I pass that. Gatineau has never tickled my bank account. I tend not to like Rose as a fragrance. Just to try and help with Q brands.
Overall at a TSV price it is OK but sure you could get as good for less from Superdrug.
I was good friends with someone before Brexit and she loved the range. Her skin was very reactive but liked skinSense.
I can't help but think of skinSense as SS and after reading posts here about the BA that is..... Just saying, I'll leave that open for your thoughts.
PenelopePitStop,
What does BA and SS stand for? TIA
Thank you so much. Gawd I'm dim tonight!BA - - Brand Ambassador
SS - - here skinSense but it has another long standing meaning.
Do you have a brand or certain products you like PPS?BA - - Brand Ambassador

Thank you so much. Gawd I'm dim tonight!
Totally intrigued now regarding joining those dots!You made me laugh so it's fine. There is another long standing version of SS and with some comments I'd not dare to join those dots. You know I have in my head. Oppps.

Thanks for the brilliant information and great post!If I had to choose a brand I'd probably go with Alpha-H. But I'm not shipping products half way round the world. Water from Australia and lots of air in a card box with a round tub. No don't need that.
Cleansing Balm, like Elemis Rose, well my skin does, nose and bank account not so keen. I tend to ho with Boots No 7 as it is on offer so often I buy whatever offer I can. My choice I think would be Emma Hardie but bank account not keen and I think the packaging is mot easy to recycle.
Cleansers SBC Collagen, CeraVe hydrating one, I like an oil, Aldi Hot Cloth pink clay is favourite else normal one, but I get fed up of it not being there when I want it. Superdrug do a few. I'm past spending mega bucks on something that is on my face for 2 mins and then down the plug hole. Pixi glycolic mud cleanser I found great as I use as a quick mask but not had gor ages. I fancied that tonight as it happens.
Toners. Oh dear think this is a weak point, have loads, obviously Liquid Gold, Pixi Glow Tonic, REN glycolic, but I like a lot of REN stuff, they also have delivery systems that are dependable. Rubbish sprats, pumps and ones who give up puts me off. I tend to buy whatever plain toner that is on offer when I need, so long as its hydrating. I don't mist as more of the mist hits the floor than my face. Oh Pixi milky tonic is a fav, that is gentle and seems to bung more hydration than I put on, if you understand.
I'm not so keen on hyaluronic as I feel they are yooooo sticky and just sit there. I've used Aldi to Niod and not found one that I liked.
I'm into Eucerin a lot currently but nothing is WOW.
Jordon Samuel I like but not the miles it travels. Zelens I liked but not the £££.
I have very stubborn skin and great it doesn't react easily but doubt I've used five products that give a WOW that works.
Didn't rate Dermalogica, which I'd guess is the first brand I took seriously. But no Elemis was as a full range. I still think that using a full range of one brand is the way to go but that doesn't seem to be what a lot go with. Elemis was at a previous gym but the free weight room was opposite so it now makes me think smelly sweaty grunty dropping weights, so I don't see it as a pleasure relaxing enjoyable treat time.
I'm also great at buying something that works, I like and they stop selling it. I've stopped buying beauty boxes until every last tube, pot, pump, spray, roller ball, whatever is long gone from here and the term beauty stash is not part of my world.
