Want Great Looking Skin ?

The range of skincare products on the market is wide and varied as are product prices, but the aim of all is ultimately the same; to make the skin appear more youthful. Who doesn’t dream of having younger looking skin?

Some products work and some don’t and I have in the past been disappointed with a handful of products that I have bought especially when I have spent a pretty penny only to find they don’t do anything even when the sales person has sworn blind they do. I remember buying a serum a few years back for over £100 and it did nothing at all, not a sausage. Of course not impressed by the misinformation or the fact I could have bought some boots with that I never featured them on my blog – why would I!

One company that has never steered me wrong is Skin Doctors. Recently I discovered they had two NEW products available and was really excited when they asked me to review these for them.

I was sent a pack of both the Skin Doctors Day Ampoules and Night Ampoules to experiment with. Each jar cost £39.99 and contains 50 measured doses. A quick google search lead me to discover I could get the pair for £45 which is a great saving!

Skin Doctors Day and Night Ampoules are capsules that are easy to open and use. You simply twist off the top, apply the serum to the skin then apply your moisturiser and wait for your skin to start improving and this really doesn’t take long at all. The great thing is they don’t add much time to your pre-existing daily routine and the serum is really fast acting too. You will also be pleased to hear they are paraben free.

I gave the ampoules a go and on initial use I noticed that they were quickly absorbed into my skin and the skin felt increasingly silky smooth on each application. The product was absorbed easily into the skin with no oily residue and on each day I used these my skin felt much softer than it did prior to the initial application. Within 5 days my skin looked brighter and this was even more obvious by day 7. My skin continued to improve and I had developed a gorgeous healthy, plump, glowing skin in record speed. I have to be honest I am overly observant when it comes to these sorts of things but I was amazed at the results of the contents of these teeny tiny ampoules. The product has been well thought out. The product is easy to use and each ampoule contains a fresh daily dose as it is airtight and isn’t transparent thus preventing exposure to air and light which would otherwise denature the contents and affect their efficacy.

A quick tip: if you are using these. Make sure you also squeeze the small top of ampoules so you don’t miss any of the product.

Skin Doctors Day Ampoules (Gold)

10% concentrated dose of pure Vitamin C

These are infused with “potent vitamin C” (ascorbic acid) which some may be aware is a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants fight free radicals which are formed by the body when food is broken down to form energy. Antioxidants are great at helping fight the signs of ageing as they destroy free radicals (free radicals break down collagen resulting in a loss of elasticity and wrinkle formation) so it makes sense to incorporate them into this sort of product to stimulate skin regeneration and help give the skin a more youthful appearance. Studies have shown that this fabulous vitamin may also be able to help in the prevention and treatment of UV damage. Vitamin C is also vital for collagen. As we age our bodies produce less collagen so a boost can really make a significant difference to the skins appearance making it look smoother and much more supple.

The combination of ingredients in these ampoules make the skin look brighter, firmer, plumper, wrinkles look less defined and the skin feel softer and smoother.

Skin Doctors Night Ampoules (Blue)

15% dose of pure Vitamin A

These are infused with “potent vitamin A” (Retinol) another antioxidant that packs a punch. Numerous tests have been carried out and show this to be effective at restoring an even skin tone, improving the appearance of the skin making it look smoother, younger and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. This is a “must use” for anyone age 30 or over. As retinol is photosensitive (it reacts in sunlight) it is used in products targeted for use at night, so basically whilst you sleep this super antioxidant works to help give the skin a more youthful appearance including a gorgeously healthy glow. This product also contains Microsponge® slow-release technology to enhance its stability and deliver the active ingredient efficiently to minimise irritation.

My Findings

My deeper wrinkles were still there when I finished using the whole sample but who knows with continued use what might have happened. There was a marked difference in my skins appearance brighter, plumper, with a healthy glow, small creases were not so obvious and I had numerous complements about how fabulous my skin looked.

I can wholeheartedly say that these products performed a miracle on my skin. I normally have a tendency to talk a lot but I could barely keep my mouth shut about this telling friends and relatives and even shop assistants how amazing these products are.

Would The Results Be The Same If Just The Day Or Night Time Ampoules Were Used?

I appreciate that the cost might put some readers off but in comparison to some products these are not expensive especially when you weigh up the results. After you’re trying these any concerns will simply disappear as you see the results literally before your very eyes in a short space of time.

I would say that these products could be used individually but for faster and better results I would personally advise using both (from my own experience). The product really worked well when both day and night time samples were used and each works slightly differently too which backs up the argument for using both day and night ampoules.

Having been so impressed I asked if I could share this amazing product with one exceptionally lucky reader. Seriously, you all want this!!!

Disclaimer: I was sent a pack of both the day and night ampoules to try. The views expressed and results are my own – these are some of my favourite products out of all those that I have ever tried that improve the skin. Love them!!!

I have dry and dehydrated skin with the start of fine lines (I’m now 31 so this is a major concern). I often feel my skin isn’t very bright or radiant either. But overall, I try and look after it as best as I can.

I noticed that mine was affected by diet and stress as well as skin products. Increase your water intake and cut down on saturated fats and on sugar and you should notice an improvement. Stress can also be a factor so try to find activities you enjoy doing. Good luck x

I have really annoying combinations skin, I have a very oily T-zone but I also get dry patched on my cheeks and above my eyebrows, most days I can’t wear any kind of foundation or even BB cream or tinted moisturizer, I spent time looking for some kind, any kind of product that would help but I’ve basically given up now.

My main skin concern is combination skin and I have had trouble finding a moisturiser that can tackle the visible patches of dry, scaly skin and the oily patches that I seem to have on my nose, chin and forehead. I also have wrinkles and these seem to have increased dramatically over the last couple of years.

My skin is really spotty, it’s always been like this. When I was a teenager I used to take comfort in the face that when I became an adult it would get better, but here I am in my thirties and it’s even worse.

My skin can be a real pain, I have combination skin with an oily t zone, large pores, acne but dry flaky skin on my forehead and around my mouth. So as you can imagine finding the right skin care products can be a challenge.

My face was damaged in an assault leaving with with loose skin and marks on my face so my main concerns are too look after my skin as best I can and to find skincare products that improve it’s condition and appearance x
