    I assume the women's ones have extra foundation in them hence the need to have our own line.

    Was using L'Oreal Wrinkle De-crease but it's run out, and it was over-greasy, so anyone use any alternatives that seem to work and are non-greasy?

    After perusing a copy of Men's Health at the dentist the other day I know alcohol based ones aren't recommended as they dry the skin out.

      Creams should only be used by men for smothering the skin of naked birds for slippy slidey bedroom fun. End of discussion.

        Ditto, will be 37 in a few weeks and I have this problem all the time.

          Shave Ease Oil rules! I love the stuff, makes shaving sooooo much easier.

          It's got to be the same stuff surely? Anyway if Oil of Ulay was good enough for my gran it's good enough for me.
          You're right there, I wouldn't use a brand associated with birds (or squirrels). I use that loreal men expert stuff and occasionally bio oil.

          Not sure how "safe" Oil of Ulay is for humans though. My nan was a big user and she had a massive tash.

            Just before I left my old permie job, they took on a new lad who was about 28, a bit wet behind the ears but knew his stuff to be fair to him.

            The problem was he built like a gypsies dog and looked no older than about 18

            They're gonna have some questions raised when they start billing him out for £950 a day.

              My grandmother also used Oil of Ulay habitually.

              She sent them a "thank you letter" when she was 84, extolling the product.

              She was most surprised to receive a gift in return, quite possibly the larget Oil of Ulay tub I have ever seen. Seriously, it was a bucket.

              It outlasted her !
              Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                Hmmmm...... I'll have to get all my elderly relatives (+ a few made up ones) to do the same. That should keep my wife in cream for the next few years

                    As someone who has quite noticable scarring from severe acne when I was a teenager (think of Seal and you're not far off), I've been wondering whether to try bio oil as it's supposed to smoothen acne scars, from what I read somewhere.

                    One thing I'm never going to try is plastic or cosmetic surgery. There's plenty of celebrities doing quite well at damaging the image of it just by having it. Think Lesley Ash, Jackie Stallone, and many many others. All look like freaks of nature now.

                      We have our own cream dispenser for that. Hence the very distinct difference between what's for men and what's for women, just so we don't get them mixed up by accident.
