Best Anti-ageing products according to Good Housekeeping

I found an article of Good Housekeeping's first annual anti-aging awards and there is one product I'm testing right now. I'm testing really hard.. it's not really working, at least not yet, but I'm not giving up until I've used at least one tube.

Good Housekeeping test seems to be quite extensive compared to some usual mag surveys ("let's ask readers and then get some ads from companies plus add some Editors choices too"). Good Housekeeping Research Institute tested 90 products on 820 volunteers, conducted more than 3,000 lab tests, and tallied 1,800+ questionnaires to find the 26 best anti-aging beauty products.

There is something for all among the chosen products. They are not all expensive either. The one I'm testing is Boots No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Beauty Serum. Virve from Ostolakossa blog recommended that one in her blog and explained how it's loved by many happy customers - it's a real bestseller. It should "reveal younger-looking skin in just 4 weeks" and damn it, my skin is rebelling against it.. I let you know more about it when the tube is empty :)

Back to that Good Housekeeping article; I would like to test these too:
  • Vichy LiftActiv Retinol HA Night
  • Olay Body Quench Plus Age Defying Body Lotion
  • Dior Capture Totale Multi-Perfection Hand Repair Creme SPF (I love spending money on hand creams)
  • Boots No7 Advanced Renewal Anti-ageing Glycolic Peel Kit or Clarins Bright Plus HP Brightening Peel (peel stuff sounds a bit scary, but I'll be brave. Woman must be brave when facing dangerous enemies like wrinkles)
  • Peter Thomas Roth Firmx Growth Factor Extreme Neuropeptide Serum (neuropeptide. Sounds scientific so it must work ;))
  • Banana Boat Ultra Defense SPF 50 Lotion (I think I have a tester. Now I only need to find it and check if it's too old)
Have you tested any of these yet?

I must state that in my opinion the most important anti-aging weapons are healthy food, some vitamins and minerals (like vitamin D3), exercise that you enjoy doing, sleeping well & enough, fresh air & nature, love and happiness.

I sincerely believe all those things will brighten any ageing face and body. I'm using military language when writing about aging, but hey, aging is not all bad. You get smarter and wiser when you get older. You learn. You have a better self-esteem. You know that one lame jacket will not ruin the rest of your life and that potential boyfriend's shoes are not the only issue you should check (Honey's traumatic teenage memories :))
