Anti-aging products � Initial Thoughts!

QVC recently got in touch and asked whether I wanted to test out some of the products from a category in their Customer Beauty Awards and I said yes!  I chose the anti-aging category because now more than ever, I am very into skincare and treating it properly whilst I�m young, to help it age more healthily and gracefully.

I thought I�d give you my initial thoughts on the four products before the live show on QVC tomorrow night where they will be announcing the winner!

158148

Sarah Chapman Overnight Facial � This looks and feels super expensive, with a swanky bottle and pump.  I thought this would be a cream but in actual fact it�s a very pungent oil (it almost smells like men�s musk perfume) to me.  It�s packed with vitamins, omega oils, peptides and more to leave your skin refreshed and radiant.  Despite being an oil, it sinks in nicely leaving no residue.

Alpha H Liquid Gold � This was obviously the product I was most looking forward to trying as it is a firm favourite of a lot of bloggers.  I have been using this on alternate evenings before bed and when I awake my skin looks plump and firm.  My skin is also ridiculously soft after using this, making makeup glide on smoothly!

Decleor Aromessence Iris Rejuvenating Serum - This is the another oil based serum which smells highly of essential oils.  I really like that it�s 100% natural and free from mineral oils and preservatives but it is pricey!  I�ve also heard that essential oils aren�t great for acne-prone skin which mine is, so I might just stick to using this on my neck and d�colletage.

Perricone MD Concentrated Restorative Treatment � This night cream is packed with high levels of Vitamin C which helps promote radiant skin and helps to minimise discolouration (which I do have a slight problem with).  It apparently also helps lessen the appearance of wrinkles.  I�m going to pass this on to Mummy Snooks to try out as I know she loves using thick night creams.

My prediction: I think Alpha H should win here � it�s the most affordable of the bunch and the one with the most obvious and immediate results, however I know the others have a large following too so it�s a tough one!

As I said earlier, the winner will be announced on QVC tomorrow evening at 7pm but I�m planning to give these all a full test (with Mummy Snooks!) and possibly review my favs in greater detail after a few months of testing.

Do you use any anti-aging products?  What�s your favourite?
