I am always on the look out for anti-ageing creams that actually work, so was thrilled when a family member treated me to a jar of Elemis pro-collagen cream.
The cream comes in a square white and silver box and really does look very classy. Inside the box is a round glass jar with white and silver lid. Full marks for the tasteful packaging from me! I always like to read the information on the box and this one makes lots of impressive promises.
Elemis state that this cream will give noticeable results in just 15 days, by reducing the depth of your wrinkles by up to 75% and increasing the hydration of your skin by up to 45%.

stutters as we flit back and forth between real and imaginary worlds and the flashbacks to different points in the titular character?s life add more to the running time than they do to narrative depth. The story meanders as we get caught between Parnassus? story and the subplot involving the mysterious Tony, making the film feel more like a series of insubstantial flights of fantasy rather than a real attempt at storytelling.
