Question Expression / Frown lines - What Treatment ? - 19-07-06, 11:48 AM

Hi,

Well, I've noticed over the past couple of weeks that I have developed the dreaded "l l" frown lines between my eyes, except that mine look more like this "l /".

So I took myself of to Boots yesterday to have a look at all the "miracle cures" but walked away empty handed as to be honest, I just didn't know what to get and which product would actually deliver on their promises.

So here is the question.... what product would you recommend to prevent / ease the look of expression / frown lines ?

I'm on a budget, so really cant afford to splash out, but wouldn't mind paying a bit more if the product is actually good.


Any suggestions would be much appreciated !

Hi,

Do you use it for your expression lines ? How has it made a difference and how long have you been using it ?

i have seen a few products advertised on telly for stuff that's just a cream that reduces wrinkles and it has botox in or something - hubby says its just polyfiller basically... !!!


But L'Oreal (i think) was the last one I saw and its high street stuff so will be inexpensive.

Let us know what you choose..

Has anyone tried 'frownies' ?? Im thinking of giving them a go...my expression lines are getting deeper.

Think you wear frownies for bed to prevent further creasing!

MD formulations is quite good. We use it in work and i often get the peels done. My skin is so smooth and fresh afterwards. Im sure they will have a product that suits your needs.

hope Im not gonna get slated for posting about Virgin Vie - but Im a consultant - and not scouting for extra sales btw - been doing it or over 2 years now - just want to say that freeze frame moisturiser and serum is fantastic and is half the price of ardens and loreals. It contains retinol and argililene which mimics the effects of botox. Ive been using it for months and love it. It actually does freeze and plump out the lines on the forehead and the serum tightens the skin, you can also use them in conjunction with your usual skincare system, they are an add on not a replacement. They are £30 and £35 each or £50 for the two. For further info:

lancome do a serum which comes with a small massager ball on the end of it, u get 2 in the box, about £30 i think, its a white box with 2 sticks (bit like white felt pens). cant remember the name of it...but its good, i noticed a difference after about 2 weeks, apply a little and massage, they say the massage is getting rid of the toxin build up, and u can use round your lips also..go into lancome for a demo...
