Anyone else in the UK listen to BBC Radio 4 programme called "You and Your's" today?
They had a feature about the massive queues outside many Boots stores for the new stock of Protect Serum on the shelves today, they did a vox pop on a few people who were also queuing up for it and then asked them if they were aware that it was Boots itself who had funded the research. Many were not aware as the Horizon programme had not revealed it properly. They questioned the professor at Manchester University about the research and he said Boots had approached them and asked them to blind test several moisturizers all of which were Boots lotions. The interviewer stopped him at this point and asked what the other products were and he claimed that it was just bland moisturisers that were being compared with the Boots serum. The professor said that yes, although changes were seen in skin elasticity under the microscope, whether or not any clinical changes could be seen with the naked eye was yet to be tested. The interviewer then said so if another company like Estee Lauder or Clinique approached you the same sort of results might be seen under the microscope to which he agreed there could well be.
So although the Protect serum works well against the control subject of a bog standard moisturizer it was not being tested against any of the other 'big guns' serums of the cosmetic world.
Kind of puts a different complexion on it doesn't it? You can probably view this interview on the Radio 4 website. |
