The new Cabinet in January 1924 consisted, as governments had for generations, of twenty white, middle-aged men. But that is where the similarities with previous governments ended, for the election of Britain's first Labour administration witnessed a radical departure from government by the ruling class. Replacing Stanley Baldwin's Conservatives were Ramsay MacDonald's Labour, the majority of whom had left school by the age of fifteen. Five of them had started work by the time they were twelve years old. Three were working down the mines before they entered their teens. Two were illegitimate, one was a foundling, three were of Irish immigrant descent. For the first time in Britain's history the Cabinet could truly be said to represent all of Britain's social classes.This unheralded revolution in representation is the subject of Peter Clark's fascinating new book, The Men of 1924. Who were these men? Clark's vivid portrayal is full of evocative portraits of a new breed of politician, the forerunners of all those who, later in the last century and in this one, overcame a system from which they had been excluded for too long.

Massive acne breakout
I started using this product a week ago and never have I had a face product make me break out this massively in my entire adult life of 20 years. I currently look like a prematurely aged teenager with all these cystic-looking red acne all over my cheeks and forehead. I contemplated posting a photo but was too embarrassed of how terrible my skin looks. So I couldn't bring myself to do it. The only positive side is that the cream does not make my skin burn, which most other products do. The packaging is well-made and good appearance-wise; the tube is easy to use (no leakage, sturdy, etc) and there is no strong smell, which is a positive for me. Alas, these still don't save it; effectiveness-wise it is a -10. I might have to use this as a hand cream. So I suggest you save your money and go buy something else. I now need another product to get rid of this layer of acne all over my skin. Sign.

Hydrating and smoothing
I have very finicky skin that breaks out in little white heads, mainly around my nose, mouth and chin, with a lot of products. I recently discovered that my skin reacts best to AHA products, but I have never tried a retinol. So I saw this and decided to get it. I did a patch test on my inner elbow and had no reaction to it, so I used it under my chin and then onto my full face. I probably haven’t been using it long enough to see full effects, but I do like it so far. It’s a thicker cream, but absorbs very well. It leaves my skin hydrated and when I wake up in the morning my skin does feel very smooth. It hasn’t caused any irritation or burning, so I think it’s very gentle. I don’t notice a huge difference in fine lines yet, but it’s only been 5 days that I’ve been using it. It does seem to minimize them a bit, but it could just be the moisturizing or a placebo effect. I think only time will tell! But the skin smoothness is nice. It does seem to minimize pimple redness and get them to go away faster. The applicator is small, which I like, so you can dispense only the amount you need.

not as described
This product was advertised as 1,10 of retinol and i was looking for a stronger product than the 0.025 Retin~A that I.m using now. Looking at the ingrdieients there is very little Tretinon which is the active ingredient in RetinA. very disappointed!
