Title: Crack free ceiling paint

Anyone tried this stuff? Is it worth the extra compared to normal white emulsion?

We've got a ceiling that was plastered without any kind of reinforcing over the joins in the plasterboard, and I've tried various fillers but they keep coming back. They're really fine cracks and so need taking out to get filler into them which is more hassle than I can be bothered with

Kinda hoping for a miracle paint that will hide the cracks. Permanently

Ive not tried this paint sorry and it may work well, certainly a lot better than just emulsion I imagine, but if you can I would paper the ceiling with a reinforced wallpaper then you can be confident that it won't reappear.
