I use the Melatogenine Future Plus cream as a night cream (I'm too oily to use a day cream). It is definitely the best moisturiser that I have found so far. My skin has tautened, brightened and smoothed in the months since I started using it. The open pores on either side of my nose have dramatically reduced in number, and while they used to be oval (due to the skin on my cheeks sagging slightly), they are now perfectly round (presumably there is less sagging!).



I also use the Masque (suitable for the whole face, including the eye area), and have found it to be excellent. I use it at night, twice a week or so, in a thin layer all over the face, and a thicker layer under my eyes (my most lined area), and find that in the morning there is a noticable improvement.



These products ARE expensive, but I would never buy them full price. I either get them discounted in a mixed sample set from QVC, or cheap off eBay. They are very economical too. The sales guy on QVC stresses how little you should use, and I completely agree - a blob the size and shape of a cooked grain of rice will do my entire face. 15mls of the day/night cream has lasted over 4 months, used once a day. 15mls of the masque has lasted longer.



I don't often buy the same product twice, where skin care is concerned, but Gatineau, Liz Earle, Raw Gaia and a couple of other brands have proved themselves real heroes. A cream is going to have to be very, very, good (and probably out of my price range) in order for me to change.

Hmmm - ever since getting into Paula's Choice I have become a very cynical buyer (just have odd lapses of lunacy from time to time)! I got this given to me as a sample and yes I rather liked it but not enough to pay the stonking amount asked for it!!!!

This product is pricey, but very good. I would not recommend you use it in summer as the cream is way too rich, but it is excellent in colder weather. Does it make me look younger? Not sure, but willing to keep on using it for longer to find out.

I love it! This makes my skin look plump and well hydrated. I see and feel the difference in only a few days. I think it's better than the Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine cream and a few dinero cheaper. The packaging looks awesome too.

i found this anti aging cream a delight to use.
im combo skin yet the richness of this cream really sank in.
i did notice that my skin bloomed and seemed younger within the first week...6 months later im so much younger and firmer..many compliments..and my sis in laws younger than me...and i have no wrinkles.

This moisturiser did absolutely nothing for my skin in fact it brought me out in dry patches over my face and neck when I had used it for about a month. I sent this back to QVCuk and received a full refund. This product is a total waste of money

£55 uk pounds i bought this for and it was money for nothing in my opinion,gatineau say of their new cream'It is a wonder cream which contains a youth molecule which will not only hold back the ageing process but help repair it; what toddle wash! This is a jar of nothing special cream which is available in 2 types lotion for oilier skins and cream for drier skins which is mine,the smell is ok but its not the smell i am worried about its the claims made about the cream and what it will do for me.The first night i tried it i thought this might be good,a bit greasy but iam sometimes heavy handed with new products,but next night my skin did'nt like it and began to burn, in the morning i was covered in spots and i am lucky because i rarely get them so i knew it was melatogenine.I sent it back and got a refund from qvc uk and thats the only good thing i can say about it,I got my money back, but had to wait 2 weeks to get my skin back on track.
