I think it would be fine, there's nothing that can damage the skin in this. It's mostly DMAE and Argeline (sp?) which are only temporary firming/relaxing fixes and aside from that it contains antioxidants which can only be beneficial.
Besides 32, it's all downhill from there  |

hey tipu, it seems it would be fine to use the JB's products for all ages, as i got this info below, directly from their site:
"Q: Who will benefit from using Janson Beckett products?

Hi Tipu
I've bought very few Chinese face products. The only ones I've used seem extremely harsh, I'm guessing they're made more in line with thicker, oilier skin. Besides they don't list all the ingredients and even if they did I wouldn't trust it, there simply isn't the same kind of quality control and no consumer power over labelling or returns over anything.
Camellia oil is made in China, which is a bit tantalizing seeing as I get it shipped over from the US. I've given the box to a Chinese friend to see if she can locate a good cheap source - must remind her.
I did buy a set of products in a department store in Beijing. I was lynched by a perfume counter girl and she exfoliated the back of my hand, when she showed me the name of the product 'anti-horniness cream',  thought it might come in handy. I also bought a bottle of 'SOD milk' more for the name than the quality. I didn't buy the bottle of 'anti-pox' cream, couldn't find a use for it on my face. (the humour of these product names might escape you if you're Finnish, but they're great for the British)
I do try and find out Chinese women's beauty secrets are but they're really secretive, just tell me 'make-up'. |

Hi Tipu, if you buy Chinese products sold in the West the quality is usually very good if you're interested in them. They have the capability to produce very fine products, but it seems it needs western quality control to achieve it.
...by the way don't worry about not being with the humour. I'm totally used to being misunderstood, it's a way of life for me. 
If you look in the lounge you'll see a lot of Canadians and Australians rave about British humour - takes all kinds. Don't like the Danish sense of humour much either?! Never really knew a Finnish person so I couldn't say. |

hey tipu, i just got the 5 piece set from JB in the mail and waiting until mother's day, to give it to my mom. Before that, no one in my family have tried the JB products before.
After my mom tries the product, i will post a product review

tipu,
thanks for not bringing the norwegians into this... I totally agree though, the danish and british are strange people.
A bit off topic here... |
