Under-eye crepe is what I bought it for and that's where I've seen the most, less of that scrunched tissue-paper look first thing. Rest of my face, less obvious. But the eyes alone keep me buying it.

You know the pinch test? Skin on the back of my hand and my cheeks springs back quicker than it did. Sounds daft but I actually checked. After the menopause I'd assumed that was gone for good.

I started taking it down onto my neck, where I really show my age. Early days, but the crepey rings look a touch smoother. Wish I'd started there sooner. Runs out faster now, mind.

My face had gone a bit gaunt and tired. This has put some plumpness back, the cheeks especially. Not filler-plump, just less hollow. Makeup sits better on top too, doesn't cake in the lines.

Texture's the thing for me. Skin feels smoother and the pores round my nose look a bit finer. Not perfect, still me with my flaws, but foundation glides instead of dragging now. That's the daily difference.

Less of that grey, sallow, tired look I'd been seeing in every photo. Not brighter exactly, more just... awake? My husband would say I'm imagining it, but I've stopped reaching for the illuminating primer.

Six months in, so a considered one. Firmer along the cheekbone and jaw, fine lines softer, the overall tired look lifted. Not dramatic month to month, but I looked back at old photos and the difference is clear.

Crow's feet are marginally softer, I'll give it that. Though I suspect a lot of "wrinkle" results at our age are just better hydration plumping things temporarily. Still, temporarily less lined beats lined. Three stars, cautiously kept.

Main thing is I look less knackered. Fine lines here and there are softer, but the bigger shift is just looking rested, like I've been on holiday when really I've been up with the dog at 5am.

Got a bit of bounce back that I thought had gone for good after the menopause. Nothing dramatic. My face just doesn't look so deflated by the end of the day. On my second bottle.

Dry patches on my cheeks that survived two winters have finally calmed down. No idea if it's the salmon stuff or just a good moisturiser underneath it all. Either way, they've gone.

The soft bits either side of my chin, jowls though I hate the word, sit tighter than a year ago. My hairdresser asked if I'd had something done. I hadn't. Just this, most nights.

The little vertical lines above my top lip that lipstick used to bleed into are less of a problem now. Lipstick actually stays put. Didn't expect a serum to sort that of all things.

The shadowy hollows under my eyes look less sunken. I'd honestly been pricing up filler and I've stopped for now. Concealer sits smooth instead of sinking into the crease.

The lines running from nose to mouth had got deep enough to bother me. Softer now. Not gone, I'm 57. But softer. I notice it most in unforgiving changing-room light, which is the real test.

Started using the last of it on my chest, where the sun-damage crepe lives. A few weeks and the criss-cross lines there have eased. That area never responds to anything, so it surprised me.

The skin on my eyelids had gone loose and papery. It feels firmer. Eyeshadow doesn't vanish into the fold like it did. Small and specific, but it's the bit I'd given up on.

Two people at a wedding asked what I was using. Never happened before. Whatever it does, my face looks like it did a few years back. I wrote the name on a napkin for one of them.

We keep the heating high and my skin usually flakes all winter. First year it hasn't. Face stays comfortable and looks less papery. That alone gets it repurchased come autumn.

My skin feels different under my fingers, smoother, more even, less like crêpe paper. I keep touching my cheek at my desk without meaning to. My husband thinks I've lost the plot.

There's a bit more structure back in my cheeks. They'd started to look like they were sliding off the bone, if that makes sense. Less so now. I'd keep buying it for that alone.

My skin looks less flat and grey. "Lit from within" is the kind of nonsense I'd normally scoff at, but there's something in it. Photos don't show that drained, done-in look anymore.

My jawline had gone soft and blurry. It's a cleaner line now. Not knife-sharp, I'm sixty. But defined enough that I've stopped reaching for a scarf to hide it.

I'm on HRT, which helped a bit, but this did what the HRT didn't for the actual surface, the fine lines, that thin fragile look. The two together and I finally recognise my face.

Wore it religiously the two months before my school reunion. Looked less worn than women I remember being younger than me. Petty, maybe. But that was the goal, if I'm honest.

My beautician, who sees my bare face monthly and never sugar-coats, said the skin round my eyes had come up well. High praise from her. She asked what I'd changed. This was the only thing.

Menopause turned my skin to paper, the cheeks especially. This lives on my windowsill and I use it before bed most nights. Not all, I forget. Cheeks feel less like crêpe now. That's all I was after, really.

I'm 54. Got it because my sister wouldn't shut up about hers. The lines either side of my mouth used to bother me in photos. Softer now, or I've stopped noticing, hard to say which. Either way.

Sixty. Dry and dull, the usual after the change. It's thick and takes an age to sink in so I do it while I brush my teeth. Mornings my face looks less grey. Small thing, I'll take it.

Post-menopausal skin is a different animal. Nothing sat right anymore. My jaw had started to go soft and I'd stopped looking at it head-on. Firmer than it was. Not fifteen-years-ago firmer. Just better.

I'm 49 and perimenopause had my skin all over the place, oily one day, flaking the next. This calmed it and firmed it up. First thing that's kept pace with whatever my hormones are doing.

At 62 you rather assume this is just your face now. It isn't, quite. Mine looks less tired and tight than it did at 60. I'm not chasing youth, just glad to look less exhausted.

Fifty-one, and I'd started properly disliking photos of myself. A couple of months of this and I don't flinch at them. Same face, just less worn-out. That's honestly all I wanted.

My mum's 58 and swears by it, which is how I ended up trying it at 56. We compare notes on the phone like teenagers. Both our skin's better for it, so I can't argue.

Back dating at 55, which rather focuses the mind on the mirror. This gave me some confidence back. Skin looks fresher and firmer, less done-in. Daft what a difference that makes at my age.

The salmon thing put me off for months. Ordered it eventually, half-expecting to hate it. No fishy smell, thank god. I've gone through two bottles now without really deciding to, which probably tells you something.

I've a cupboard full of serums that did nothing, so I wasn't hopeful. This one I keep reordering, and I don't do that. Couldn't tell you the science. Skin just looks less knackered when I actually stick with it.

Only bought it because it was pink and I'm shallow like that. Forgot about it, found it again, used it up. My daughter asked what I'd changed before I'd even noticed myself. Make of that what you will.

My daughter-in-law swears by this and I nodded along thinking, here we go. Three months on I've quietly bought my own so I stop pinching hers. Annoying when they turn out right.

Tried the injectable PDRN at a clinic once, couldn't justify the cost again. This isn't the same, obviously, but it's a gentler home version of it. Genuinely didn't expect that from a bottle.

I'm the sort who reads the ingredients and rolls my eyes. Read these, rolled my eyes, bought it anyway. Skin's the best it's been in years and I'm mildly irritated about being wrong.

Spent years assuming decent skin at my age meant needles or nothing. This softened that view. Steady, real improvement I can actually see. Didn't think a plain serum could shift my mind on that.

Did nothing for a fortnight and I nearly binned it. Then, three weeks or so, the under-eyes stopped looking bruised-tired. It's slow. I almost gave up too early, so if you try it, don't do that.

Weeks, not days. I kept checking the mirror going "is this doing anything", then one Sunday my foundation didn't sink into the crease by my nose. Been using it since about Easter. Still here, so.

Bottle four now, so I've earned an opinion. The first did little. It's cumulative. Each month a bit less tired-looking than the last. Wish someone had told me to stick with it from the start.

Three stars. Nice things for the crêpey under-eye and the dullness, not much for the deeper forehead lines, though I didn't really expect it to. Would I rebuy? Probably. Have done, actually.

Fine. Does what a half-decent serum should, skin's softer, a touch firmer. Not the miracle the reviews made out, and the pink stains my flannel. I'll finish it. Not sure I'll repurchase. We'll see.
