Drawing on over 17 years experience and many years of research, Caroline Clapperton, Owner and MD of Planet Skincare has created 2 products that are currently rocking the beauty world and shaking us all in our boots.
An Instant Firming Serum with Pepha-Tight, which instantly tightens the skin and fine lines and wrinnkles, no need to wait a month to see any effects, but over time, it does work on our natural collagen, making skin smoother and tighter and look so much firmer.
Interestingly, despite my own ‘good’ regime, and the thought that I had pretty good smooth skin, applying this each day was an eye opening experience. As you smooth it onto freshly cleansed and exfoliated skin, it sinks in and refreshes instantly. However, if you’ve been a little slack at exfoliating, you can really feel it. to the normal fingertip touch, your skin might feel smooth and ‘normal’ but having this serum on your fingers seems to magnify when you need to up the ante on the skincare treatment.
Put it this way, my skin’s looked better than it has in a long time!
Combined with this is the Anti Ageing Daily Moisturiser, for both night and day, with Syn-ake. A product that has been proven to reduce wrinkles by up to 52%. This moisturiser has been dubbed all over the world as the infamous ‘botox alternative in a jar’, and I’d like to agree with Tatler, the LA Times, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire and the New York Times…
But what is the reason for this mini miracle in a jar? Luck? Good facial massage action? That snake stuff? Well actually yes, that snake stuff! you see Syn-ake is a manmade mimmick of snake venom which paralyses, and having your face paralysed in botox form can give us that permanent surprised look, but this is a little different.
Okay, so that sounds too scientific – we’ve all heard the buzz words on the TV adverts, but in simple terms, the ingredients in this moisturiser stop the neurotransmitters which make our facial muscles tense, which in turn creates wrinkles. It turns off that switch and therefore, the wrinkles are visibly reduced.
So good is this product that the deep wrinkles that I have under the corners of my eyes, (a hereditary groove, that my poor 4 year old son also has!) are being rapidly shrunk as the weeks go on.
Am I pleased with the results? Yes!
Will I recommend the range? Yes!
Is it worth the money? at £75 for the serum and £60 for the moisturiser, it sounds like a whole lot of money, but in the last 3 weeks that I’ve been testing these products, you really do use a very small amount. I’d guess these are 6 month products and for £5.50 a week, or £22 a month, that’s a lot less than the £40 non-product facial (don’t even ask!) that my local salon offers…

I’ve just got back from the US and a friend of mine had some of this. I wasn’t convinced by the price tag, she’d only had it a few days, but I did have a try of her serum and it did seem quite nice and seemed to make the lines on my forehead look less deep.

Since my first time of trying Planet Skincare, I haven’t used anything else. It is luxury in a pot. the packaging is sophisticated and looks beautiful on my dressing table (before Planet, I put my lotions and potions in the drawer!)
*I* feel that my skin looks good now. I don’t really mind about the science – to me it’s important how I feel about me. My skin feels smooth, plumped up and refreshed.
I’ve always taken care of my skin, not following fashions and not easily swayed by exaggerated claims.
Trusting Sam though, I tried the Planet cream and serum. Within a few days, I discarded my own creams and serum and dived into Planet.
It’s a beautifully rich luxurious cream, not at all sticky, my foundation doesn’t slide off either!
I can’t see a reason to change what works, so I will remain with Planet.

I was looking for a good firming cream when I’ve found your site. Upon reading your reviews I’ve decided to test one of the products you are providing.

Is there anyone out there that can help. I was unfortunate enough to be born with basically no eyelashes and I hate wearing fake ones because they always fall out, sometimes without me realizing (embarrassing), so can anyone suggest something that can make my eyelashes look longer and fuller.

Hello, Just what I was researching for! I was researching posts for our resource site when I came across your document on ” Planet Skincare | makeupadviceforum.com ” which I found on Google. We would love you to publish for us, if interested. I’ve bookmarked this post for future reference. Decent comments here as well -

Hello, I read your article and thought I would share some information. I am new to Planet Skincare and was initially put off by the price tag but I decided to give it a go and can definately recommend the product. I found a website (see link below) that is UK based, offers free delivery and a £15.00 discount if you purchase both the serum and moisturiser. http://www.effortlessskin.com/p-429-save-15-planet-skincare-firming-serum-moisturiser-offer.aspx
