I thought I'd post some photos since I've noticed improvement in skin tone, firmness, diminished capillaries as well as lines. I've been using the JB line since December 2006. I also do Manuka honey masks (straight honey, sometimes mixed with unrefined cold pressed extra virgin Avocado oil or organic extra virgin olive oil.) I'll be 52 in June so I don't know whether I look my age or not...just healthier/more vibrant?
These photos are unretouched and I have no make up or skin creams on. I just washed my face for the evening.
As you can see, the jowls are starting! But creams won't fix that. I may see someone about that but not right away.

Nice photos Lesley-Jane. I'd be delighted to look like you into my fifties. I don't know what you looked like before JB though so maybe you're just lucky with the genes  |

| Molly, until recently the broken capillaries were much more obvious in my cheeks and around my eyes and the circles under my eyes were much darker. (I've always had dark circles under my eyes.) I also had looser skin above my eyes (which as we age seem to grow hollow), and my crows feet were more pronounced. I believe this regime is making a difference and I tend to be skeptical and distrustful when I start things. Indeed, in another thread a few weeks ago I mentioned I wasn't too happy with JB results - I expected more. Since I started using the night cream I've noticed a bigger difference. You can smell the peptides in that cream! |

 you look fantastic! I'm 30 and my lines are more pronounced than yours - I think my latest anti wrinkle serum is a con though. Am going to try Relax a line

| You look great! Definitely young for your age! I'm 35 and have more crows feet than you do! Do you have any close-up before pictures by chance? |

Well gals, I am thrilled by your feedback because it's nerve wracking putting up pics of oneself. Unfortunately I did not take a "before" photo prior to starting the regime. But will try and dig up some older photos.
Regarding what I bought from JB, here's the list - and note, I bought direct from the company as it offered a very good deal. Shipping was free (for the amount I ordered) - I live in Canada. And the products were ordered on a Saturday and arrived the next Tuesday morning. So good service.
The anti-aging line:
http://www.janson-beckett.com/store_fld/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=147
4oz Cleansing Milk
4oz Skin Toner
4oz Facial Skin Prep
4oz AlphaDerma CE
1oz OkuSil
(this cost $199, which is a very good price when you do the comparison shopping. Shop around and see.)
I also bought the night cream, which was $25 off the normal price of $99. Personally I have noticed better results since I started including this cream:
http://www.janson-beckett.com/store_fld/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=168
Now, I'm not sure if this is a good regime for people in their thirties or not. Thirty year old skin is in pretty good shape compared to fifty year old skin!
These products last just over three months.
I didn't notice results right away. It's taken about three months to really notice a change. Also, I noticed a bigger change using the night cream.
I also use Yonka's skin toner (in the pink bottle). I also am sold on Manuka honey (or even just plain honey) as a face mask. It's antibacterial and is a very gentle natural exfoliant. Also unrefined avocado oil from the salad oil shelf at the health food store is heavenly.
As an aside: I don't smoke or eat red meat and I consume alcohol once in a blue moon. I eat lots of nuts and seeds, avocados, fruits (mostly berries as these are supposed to be the best fruits), veg, organic chicken and turkey, salmon. I also binge periodically on junk food, which is very sad...I try and fight it I take supplements. Fish oils, vitamin C, D, Calcium-Mag, etc.
Oh yes, and ground organic flax seed! Flax seed is very good for skin, hair, and nails. It can be sprinkled on salads, or mixed in to protein/fruit shakes. |

Ok, well, since you look better than me and I am only freshly-turned 41 ( ::gasp:: ), and since i did not care for hte JB products at all when I tried them (ADCE, Prep and Okusil) ...I am off to eat and avocado tree and flax-seed-oil-supplement myself till it comes out my ears. 
Oh, and that Manuka honey aint going in the tum tum anymore, it is goin' on da face!! |

| Re the Yonka toner. It's not the bottle that's pink, but the lotion. It's the one for normal/dry skin. |

Oh my!!! You look wonderful. I love the pictures with the droplets of water on your face. Please do try to find some older photos for comparison.
I also have had fabulous results with JB products.
Thanks for sharing. |

Oh my gosh, you have the most beautiful skin!! I'd be happy if I could look like this when I'm 42. Are you seriously in your 50s?  You must be doing everything right! Off to chomp on berries and nuts now. |

Fabulous pics Lesleyjane and indeed you look much younger than your years - good for you 
It took awhile for me to realize just how great this line is for mature skin. One morning I woke up and voilá my skin was firmer, better toned, diminished pores and just glowing
