I HATE this. I have combination skin that is slightly sensitive and prone to hormonal breakouts. i have used this several times (for months at at time), along with the correct 3-step skin programe and every time i have high hopes. Alas it dries my skin our whilst giving me millions of spots!! the texture feels cheap, the colour seems unatural and the bottle is rubbish too. It has taken me months of decleor and elemis to get my skin back to normal (ish) Also Clinique has wayyyyyy to many chemicals in for my liking. I will never use clinique again!

This really works on my hair. Its wavy and it has split ends and its colour treated, so it can get quite frizzy! i use this and leave it on for asl long as i can, i will usualy put it on when i get up and wash it off at night, its fab it leaves my hair silky, soft, frizz free, it even seems to mend some of the split ends, and ok it smells a bit but when you see the results its worth it. I would say if you are going to buy this buy a small one to start with, it works on some and not others, but it really works for me.

I have been using this product for 3 weeks. Before this i had calgel nails on and peeled them off myself, as you can imagine my nails were a mess, splitting, bendy, weak and flakey. YUK. So decied to buy this from qvc as part of a set have been using it now for 4 weeks. I filled my nails down very short and applied this as per instructions. Within 4 weeks my nails have grown long and strong. I went for a file and polish and the nail technician complimented my nails. So i am very impressed will buy again.

This was rubbish, i had read reviews saying it was fab so i got some. £35 for 400ml. i used it religiously for 2 weeks before i went away. i found that i burn my skin (even though i used spf 30) did not colour very well, it made me go spotty on my arms and face, the smell and colour is strange,the pump bottle leaked all over my suitcase, even though it was wrapped in a towel. IT was POO! i will be sticking with my fave tan accelerator GATINEAU!

I Got this as a set too and i really like it. Its economical, cheap(ish) and easy to use, no messing about with cleanser, toner wash etc.... it does not make my skin feel taught or dry it leaves it clean and fresh. it smells nice too. i use this in conjuction with daily shine control an s.o.s when i have a breakout and my skin has been nice for a while.

Treatments -Elemis - S.O.S. Emergency Cream

I thought i would write a review for this because i think it is AMAZING! i have combination, spot prone sensitive skin. At the time of the month i always get spots and bumps and pimples aroud my jaw and chin area and im sad to say, a picker! so by the time my period is over my face can look pretty scary! however a few days of using this (and not picking) makes my skin normal again. soft smooth and less oily in the tzone its like a miracle rescue cream. The only thing is the texture its a little odd.The trick apparently is to warm your hands up first like under the hot tap or on a radiator then warm the product in your hands (you only need 1/2 the size of a pea) and then smooth it on. It takes about 10 mins to settle in and dissapear completly. I dont use it all the time just when i have a break out. Try it its fab. also if you tryit from QVC and dont like it sed it back and they give you your money back no questions asked!

I Have had spotty, uneven, skin for quite a while becase i picked my spots and i have scars. i started using this a few months ago and i love it. it smells divine, smoothes on very easily is very cost effective and most of all it really has transformed my skin. i reccomend it to all.
