I’m 52 and am (mostly post-) menopausal. What I’ve always had a problem with is rosacea. I’ve used a high street, no animal testing, brand and another ethical British brand with the right animal testing ban credentials for years. But I’ve always had two problems - my face was still red and the sugary glycerin pot-holing of my face from the glycerin was ridiculous. Somehow, Q+A have included glycerine in their products without the same effects. Brilliant. I know zinc is good for your skin, but it was the mushrooms in this product that intrigued me and sure as dammit, the redness has completely disappeared. I can see cheek bones rather a a beach of redness around my lower cheeks. This is just a perfect product. Follow it with the marine toning lotion and whatever else and I swear I look 42!
