I thought this was interesting, considering the fact that most reviews of Strivectin I've seen have been negative. Reviews I've seen of this product have been pretty positive overall.

StriVectin Overnight Resurfacing Serum, made from prickly pears and pink seaweed, is dubbed “sleep in a bottle” by beauticians due to its ability to revive skin while people sleep.
Fans of the cream include Kylie Minogue, the Australian pop idol, Jennifer Lopez, actress and singer, Tamara Mellon, the millionaire founder of Jimmy Choo shoes, Sir Elton John and Kelly Osbourne, the reality television star.
Experts say the cream is designed to be used under a moisturiser every night and is suitable for all skin types.
Developers of the cream say people aged over 30 should especially use the cream as the rate of cell renewal declines.
The brand, which made its name with a cream to eliminate stretch-marks, is being stoked at luxury stores including Harvey Nichols and Harrods.
Retailers have reported a strong demand for the product which has left a waiting list at many stores.
“We had a huge waiting list at Harvey Nichols in London, well before we had even started to drum up publicity for the brand,” a spokeswoman for StriVectin told The Daily Express.
“Now there are waiting lists across the country.
“People these days are very savvy when it comes to splashing out on expensive creams and, I guess, they do their research.” |

I just started using this after reading about it and some celebrities that were using it and all of the ones mentioned have beautiful skin.
I have only used this since Tuesday but have noticed that my skin looks more alive. I got a sample of the eye cream and that one is really good. I definitely see a difference in the lines. |

Keep us updated, please, cookie. Are you using a moisturizer over it and if so, what? Thanks. |

| I have soooo many moisturizers but try to use one that is more natural, like Epicuren. I like the way my skin looks the next day. I saw a clip of Jennifer Lopez on Leno and her skin is just beautiful. Supposedly she is one of the celebrities that use it. |
