Pretty Head – UK Make Up Reviews

I first heard about this beauty serum on the BBC 2 Horizon documentary that claimed to have scientific evidence that this product could reverse the signs of aging and sun damage. The next day it was all over the news as Boots stores were selling out of the serum in crazy amounts, so obviously I had to try it! 30ml of this product retails at £18.50 and 200ml of it retails at a huge £96, so I opted to buy a trial size of 5ml from ebay for £3 and I would recommend that you do the same. The packaging, for all sizes, is pretty simple, with the 5ml and 30ml coming in pearl coloured plastic tubes and the 200ml coming in an opaque glass container with a pump dispenser. The leaflet that comes with the larger quantities of the serum states that “concentrated levels of collagen-boosting ingredients to smooth out lines and firm the surface of the skin” along with “skin-protecting antioxidants to help prevent damage from sun exposure, air conditioning and pollution”. It is recommended that you use the serum twice a day on all areas of your face, however as I only bought a 5ml tube and only have a few fine lines around my eyes and on my forehead I concentrated on just these areas. When first out of the tube the serum appears to be quite watery, however when it is applied to the skin in goes on well and sinks in and dries within seconds. The actual serum is a white colour and is fragrance free, meaning that it is good for people with sensitive skin. After a month of using this product twice a day on the skin under my eyes and on my forehead I think that there is a slight difference in the fine lines, which is far more than any other moisturiser I have tried has achieved! It also left my skin feeling very soft and nourished and there were no nasty dry patches. So I have bought my second bottle, a 30ml this time, and I hope that it will eventually get rid of my fine lines all together; this may be wishful thinking though! Apparently one bottle of this product is sold every 10 seconds in the UK and so far I haven’t read many bad reviews about it so it must be a pretty decent anti aging product!

I would recommend this product for anyone wanting to get rid of their fine lines and wrinkles. I don’t have ‘proper’ wrinkles at the moment and so I can’t really say what effect this serum will have on them, however if you buy a 5ml tube from ebay for a few pounds you haven’t really lost much if it doesn’t work.

Pros: Supported by scientific evidence and it seems to have a slight effect on fine lines. It also lasts for quite a while when only used on specific areas instead of the whole face and is very moisturising.

Cons: Expensive, it’s hard to prove whether or not it lives up to its claim to help prevent damage from sun exposure and pollution.
