it works..., 13 Nov. 2012

I didn't believe this could possibly make a difference and it seemed alarmingly expensive but came highly recommended. I have old, dehydrated skin and the difference it has made is clear. The wrinkles around my eyes are still there when I smile, but the skin doesn't stay wrinkled afterwards in the way it used to - it looks plumper around the wrinkly bits and no longer looks dried out and horrible.
