Hi there product junkies,

We've got a job for you this week, but don't worry it's a nice one and there's even something in it for you.

Nivea Visage have launched a new skincare range called Oxygen Power and they want to know what iVillagers think of it. You might have seen the range advertised on TV and in the shops already.  It contains 15% pure oxygen in a stabalised form - apparently a first for any moisturising range. In a nutshell the cream is scientifically designed to give skin a short, sharp five minute burst of oxygen which stimulates the skin cells' metabolism and helps them to regenerate themselves.  Sounds great, but does it work? That's where you come in...

NIVEA Visage Oxygen Power Skincare System Reviving Day Cream costs £12.99 in the shops but we've got 10 full sized bottles for you to trial and test. All you have to do in return is tell us what you thought of the cream here in our forum and on DBM Blogs who will be feeding your responses back to Nivea. They also want to hear from you if you're already using Nivea Oxygen Power.

Good or bad - Nivea want the honest straight talking truth.  

To take part, simply email your name, ivillage username, age (you must be over 18 to take part) and address to oxygen@dbmblogs.co.uk. *

Good luck! I'm looking forward to hearing what you think.

Buying an effective anti-ageing cream isn't  just a matter of splashing your cash on the most expensive cream on the market. Just look at Boots Protect & Perfect. So how do you know you're not just taking a gamble? Anti-ageing skincare brand RoC® is challenging women to put their RoC® Retin-OxTM+ range to the test with the launch of the RoC® 12 Week Challenge.

Check out these before and after pics and testimonials from some of the women who've taken part and decide for yourself.

Jo Lloyd, aged 42

BEFORE                                                    AFTER

"You need to use a cream for a good period of time to see the best results"

Kim Smead, aged 47

BEFORE                                                    AFTER

"I experienced some tingling at the start but my skin soon adjusted. As a result of using the cream my skin felt firmer and smoother. I put some lipstick on the other day and noticed a real improvement to the wrinkles around my lips. Generally, my skin felt much softer than it had done a few weeks ago."

Aviva Wilford, aged 49

BEFORE                                                    AFTER

"People commented on how well I looked. I felt my skin was smoother around the nose area, forehead and eyes. My skin felt very healthy and hydrated. I have recommended the RoC® 12 Week Challenge to all my friends."

Have you taken part in the RoC® 12 Week Challenge? Or would you consider it? Let us know.

I know everyone thinks they have sensitive skin, but  I really do. There are loads of ingredients in even the mildest of moisturisers that leave me blotchy and dry.

 Avene's Eau Thermal range of skincare is something I swear by, Their Emergency Skin Rescue cream is an absolute life saver. My only gripe is that they don't make it in a bigger size. I seem to get through a tube every couple of weeks. 

Got a product you want to shout about? Tell us about it here. Conversely if there's something that promised the world and failed to deliver we want ot hear about that too.

Knowledge is power, so come, join, share!
