Advantages: Great product, works well, soaks in to skin easily, only a small amount required.

Disadvantages: Quite expensive.

I am prone to skin flare ups from time to time and I sometimes have problems with my cheeks looking red & a little angry so I am always on the look out for something that can help me with this problem area.

Boots No 7 Calm Skin Redness Relief Gel comes in a glass bottle that is 30ml in size and has a thick glass cap. Once I remove the cap it's a white press down dispenser pump and one medium press gives just enough of the gel to massage on to both of my cheeks and just across my nose. It takes only a minute to rub in to my face and within a minute or two I really can feel the skin tightening a little and this makes me feel confident that the gel is working.

I use this twice a day whenever I am suffering from red/angry looking facial skin and I find that within a few days the flare-up has disappeared almost completely and my skin feels and looks a lot healthier and smoother.

There is not any fragrance to the gel (that I can smell anyway) and it's very easy to apply. It does do what I want it to do and although it's £17.10 for a 30ml bottle mine has lasted me over a year so far as I only use it when I need to. Also, my Mum suffers with red cheeks and split veins and she has used this in the past with quite a difference in appearance to her facial skin.

I would recommend this product but may not buy it again once I have run out as it's pretty pricey and I'd like to find something similar at a far more reasonable price. If you decide to purchase this then look out for 3 for 2 offers on No 7 which happen fairly regularly or even just free gift offers when you spend over a certain amount. I am rating this 4/5 and have marked it down one star because of the price.

Summary: A fantastic product that helps to keep my face looking lovely & smooth and redness free.
