I'm not sure what they are, but I bet they use pro retinol A to do it. Unlike those lesser products which use amateur retinol A.
What is retinol A anyway (whether pro or am)?

It's almost as good as hydrogen oxide. If you get it from a local source (tap) it's often full of friendly bacteria!

It amazes me when they bring out a new drink and say things like "scientifically shown to refresh and have a cooling effect". Er, like water then?

Deeply appreciative of all the Sale Starts Boxing Day ads which were running on Christmas Eve.
And the Sheila's Wheels ad... not confusing, because they are very specific about what they offer. But SO annoying. (not least because it's a real Ohrwurm)

The current advert for Revels that is a rip off and rather badly advised one of the film The Deer Hunter, "pastiching" the Russian Roulette scene.
The advert states you have 6 chances (to not taste coffee revels i assume?) but surely that means you only have 6 revels in the packet.

Oh and as a cross-dresser I really HATE the adverts for Bounty kitchen towels. the very bad men in drag as "burly housewives".
I hate them as much as I hate the "lay dees" in Little Britain.
