Peter Thomas Roth | Instant FIRMx® Temporary Face Tightener | Firm and Smooth the Look of Fine Lines, Deep Wrinkles and Pores

I bought this for myself to help slow the progression of wrinkles as I get older ....... BUT my mother who has been noticing dark bags and creases around her eyes and mouth has been wanting to try it out. She was hesitant because she has sensitive skin but I assured her that she would be fine. After persuasion, She allowed me to put this on her face and WOW within 30 seconds this stuff changed her appearance dramatically. We couldn't believe how little we had to use and for how long it kept her firmed up for. It did not make her face break out in any way but it does leave a small little white residue. I do not recommend it if you are dark-skinned but if you have fair skin then you should be fine. She looked so refreshed and was so happy that she ordered three bottles and gave them as gifts to people we know with visible aging. I will definitely be ordering more in the future for myself prevent wrinkles from forming prematurely. The picture in the review is of my mother before and after application. The firmness lasted about 10-12 hours......... I was not paid or compensated in any way for this review. Just a very happy and super satisfied customer. Also it's way cheaper than the stuff you see in the infomercials and works just as good. Make sure your face is clean and dry before applying. Also, you will feel the tightness for about an hour but you'll get used to the feeling and hardly notice it after a while.

USED ONCE. I AM RETURNING THIS. HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS! Use a minimal amount. Allow it to dry 3-7 minutes. It takes up to 7 minutes to see the desired effect. Those stating here that it leaves a white residue have applied too much of the product. A tiny bit of this goes a long way. I had NO white residue.PROS:It does what it promises. While it doesn't get rid of dark circles under the eye, it DOES tighten the skin. When I put it around my "crow's feet", after about 6 minutes - those little lines disappeared.The skin under my eye became taught and smooth.HUGE CON (WHICH OVER TIME WILL AGE THE SKIN AROUND YOUR EYES):The delicate skin under my eye became INCREDIBLY, HUGELY, MONUMENTALLY - VISIBLY - DRY. This skin tightener works well, so long as you NEVER move your facial muscles. About a half hour after applying a tiny amount, my skin had indeed tightened. I held a mirror up to my face and smiled, and all of a sudden ALL OF THE SKIN UNDER MY EYES WAS NOTHING BUT TINY WRINKLES. That area of my face suddenly looked incredibly old and aged. I was about to go meet friends, so I tried to get rid of the dryness by applying a thin coating of under-eye moisturizing cream. Waited for that to sink in a bit, then did a tiny bit of powder to hide the blotches caused by the removal of the skin tightener.I cannot NOT recommend this enough. If you use it, just do not ever smile or move your facial muscles, and you'll do fine. It arrived yesterday. It is being sent back tomorrow. Bad, bad, bad. Please save your money.

I’ve repurchased numerous times and it is part of my daily routine. Yes, it can leave a white chalky residue if you use too much, and it does NOT play well with other make up products that are liquid based. However, I use this to eliminate under eye bags, smile lines and forehead lines…and it works wonderfully. The trick is to use a VERY small amount ..pea size dollop and put it on clean, dry skin with no other products on it (no moisturizer, foundation, etc.). The only exception is my maybelline fit me concealer, which I use to tint the product. I put the concealer on my hand next to my pea size dollop and I blend them together with a damp finger, then apply a very thin layer under eyes, down smile lines and across forehead. I am NOT using the concealer to conceal,but to tint the product so it eliminates the white residue. It will look like you have no make up on at first, but if you wait for a few minutes, you can feel it tightening. This is a good time to blow dry hair. Try to remain expressionless. Don’t move your face, so no brushing teeth, talking, etc. do that ahead of time. Once it is BONE DRY…and I mean bone dry..then you can finish makeup using powder foundation, eye shadow, etc. it lasts all day and really softens lines in your face. It can look a little plastic when you first apply but it softens as the day goes on.

I wish I had returned this! I must say it works! It absolutely transforms and tightens your skin making you look years younger! Then why do I wish I had returned it, right? Well, you put it on and later there’s this awful white chalky residue on your face! I wore it to a party at work left the house looking great and some time during the party and when into the restroom and this awful white look was on my face Ugh! People were probably looking at me and thinking what’s on her face! I was so embarrassed. But me liking the starting result decided to try it again, experimenting with lighter coats and still the same result. I don’t recommend this product. Really wish I had gotten a refund!

I have used this product often on over the years and while it's true that you need to be careful in the amount you use it does work. Tightening sagging skin and reducing wrinkles.. however what I have noticed lately is that it's especially drying on the skin. Since you really can't use moisturizer underneath it, I've had to up the skin care on my evening treatment. I'm going to be watching this carefully over the next week or so. It's more important to keep my skin healthy than it is trying to look wrinkle free and having it dry me out.
