Rightio-I try out SO many things that I thought I should stop being lazy and start reviewing some of them!
I am beginning with Repair, Firming Up Gel.
I have never heard of this and ordered it on impulse when looking through Ebay (AU).
I have to say that every time I put this on at night I wake up the next morning with my skin looking as good as with the best of anything else I have ever used ... and that covers a lot of territory 
Having said that, I am talking of short term next day results. That is all can judge by, as I can't assess that any product I have used has given me any permanent success (probably because I try so many, so often).
I have no idea what would be in it that makes it work so well, but will list the ingredients at the end.
It is describ4d as "An advanced gel with plant extracts which improve cell oxygen consumption. A 10% wrinkle reduction should be observed within 4 weeks. The skin's moisturisation improves by up to 30% with continued use.A must for 30 years and over".
It comes in a metallic canister shape with a pump top.
it is produced by MG Labs International, in South Africa. I think MG stands for Maria Garcia.
It was cheap. I think it only cost me $25/30 for 75mls.
It is a clear, non sticky gel.
When I use it, I have always woken up the next day with smooth, lifeless skin with good allover tone. I tend to crease up as they day goes on-just like with everything else I use though! But I start off looking good!
Interestingly, it is also the best thing I have ever put on dry heels also. Usually heel cream only last a few hours on me. once I had excess gel on my hands and just wiped it onto my heels. I found they seemed smooth for considerably longer than I expected
Ingredients: aqua, glycerine,fagus silvatica extract, propylene, glycol, aqua, ginko bilhoba,aqua, ethoxydoglycol, propylene glycol,athea officinatis, butylene glycol, PEG 40 hydrogenated castor oil, phenoxyethanol, methylparaben, carbomer, parfum, sodium hydroxide, sodium metabisulfite.
I would love comments from anyone who may know more about it.  |

Hehe, I was wondering about that. Thank you for the review, Juliemarie. It's good to know that products that don't cost a fortune, can work well.  |
