@Fire, surely they're just using the word " serum " because it sounds more "scientific" than " cream " or , "ointment" to sucker in the gullible? I'm happily growing old disgracefully. I care not about " firmer , plumper skin " nor the " 7 signs of ageing"

Gardening on the edge of Exmoor, in Devon
“It's still magic even if you know how it's done.”
Bitching about tv, bad ads, overpaid celebrities is one thing, scrutinising people’s grammar, spellings, punctuation is something else, maybe pedants or whatever they call themselves need to get out in the garden more.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Serum, lotion, cream and ointment all sit on the skin or absorb in different ways. It's all in the formulation dahling! Lotion sinks in while ointment would make your face stick to your pillow!!!
I can’t get out into the garden, Lyn, it’s too hot hence the irascibility. However I do think you are being rather sharp with me. This is a thread regarding things that annoy us; sloppy English annoys me. I hope it does not matter to you one jot what my opinions are.
I agree with Lyn and dislike criticism of members spelling/grammar. Not fair when spellchecker, fat finger syndrome or dyslexia could be the cause. I also admire members posting in English as their second language, I couldn't do it.
Minor mistakes don't matter as long as the message is understood 👍. Some of the typos can be quite funny at times, watch out for those nasturtiums 😉
I'm coming out of the woodwork to have my rant. Nicole Shirtswinger (or however you pronounce/spell it) falling over curtains and walking into patio windows then happily falling over with a cheeky smile. Oh and ending up with a little Muller corner on the end of her nose. I'm waiting patiently for the next ad, hopefully seeing her swearing as she walks into something then crying trying to get all the yo-gurt as she calls it out of the carpet.
Ok/Hello magazine; where a minor celeb invites you into their home. She puts on a ball gown and climbs onto the piano in her living room. With 9" heels on a flute of champagne and her Pomeranian sat next to her smiling because that's what we all do in our living rooms on a typical day. No pressure ladies 🙄
