Peter Thomas RothInstant FIRMx Temporary Eye Tightener | Firm and Smooth the Look of Fine Lines

All I could say when looking in the mirror after 5 minutes of putting this stuff on was, " Oh My God" and I'm not kidding. I'm 65 in 4 months. I've taken very good care of my skin, but have been a sunbather as a teenager.,with two scars from skin cancer removal on my nose. USE SUN SCREEN AND A HAT LADIES! On my left side I have an indentation next to some crow feet coming down on my cheek bone. I'm telling you it was completely gone along with the crows feet on both eyes. Then suddenly gone, blue-black under colors and fine lines that smoothed out and turned nearly a white cream color, gone!! I followed directions to the label except I didn't use a nylon thin brush, I used my finger. I think doing that made me use too much and too wide further down on my cheeks where your blush line comes in. So, you don't want to do that because you'll have a line where the serum stops. You want that to be smooth, of course. Also, the next time I use it, I think I'll put my eyeliner on first so it goes on smoother. I put the serum on my upper lid and it actually raised my eyebrow and I could feel it lifting as it was drying. I'm telling you this stuff is amazing. If only I could take a bath in it LOL. My husband has had puffy eyes since birth. And now that he's 68 it's really bad to the point he needs corrective surgery because his lids come down too far over the cornea. I put this stuff on him and made him sit still. His was still puffy on the ends, but he was, I would say, 75 to 85 percent better, and he agreed. He actually said, " I look younger". After doing the second eye he was walking around and he said I can feel it drying and tightening up. We went to dinner and sitting across from him I was actually seeing wider eyes, it was almost funny. I bought a nylon brush tonight, on the way home, and some powder under-eye concealer to blend into my facial makeup. You can't use any water-based makeup on top of the serum, it will just remove it. Just take your time, follow the directions carefully, work with it. I'm excited to use it again. I did use a little on my forehead and it completely smooth and remove some fine lines there also, along with the lines beginning and between your brows at the top of your nose. I guess they call them worry wrinkles. Those didn't go completely away, but they lessoned quite a bit. In my opinion...this stuff is worth every penny. I did see an add for a serum that was similar. It was made by a doctor, plastic surgeon, in Hollywood but the reviews weren't really good. It was for the neck. I think it was basically the same stuff but more expensive. I would love to see this stuff sold in a larger container for your neck and I did see some for the face. Good luck! It's fun doing it on one eye and comparing it to the other.

I hope there's enough character space for my review lol. OK, so after seeing this and similar products bombarding my social media, I caved out of curiosity. I was SURE the reviews were using a blurring effect. I can say that on that part, I was wrong BUT this is not a good product one bit! I have eye bags that take time throughout my day to unswell. Cold fixes just do not work for me, creams, frozen spoons, the gel patches. All of those tricks actually make me look more swollen. I wanted to find something that can help the swelling go down quickly so I could feel more comfortable in the daytime at work (since nighttime is when you don't really notice eyebags as much). So I really wanted to see if this product does what it claims and what everyone's raving about. Here we go:1 - I used less than a pea size amount. Starting fanning myself and started to feel the tightening effect within a minute. Then it happened, I saw my eyebags start to disappear. I was in shock. I was like holy cow, this really works. It made my bags look almost non-existent and the color of it even seemed to mask my dark circles. I tried it on one eye without concealer and one eye over my concealer to see how the effects differed. It worked over the concealer but didn't tighten as nicely. I was 100% impressed and even thought I was so wrong when I doubted all these testimonies.2 - I did not get the white beading some complained about. I am fair skinned and this left a white mask like shading on my eye area. I could see the clear difference in the color of this and my skin. I figured - fine, I could even it out with makeup on the rest of my skin. But here's where it went wrong:3 - Not even 15 mins later, the defect happened. I read some reviews where people said the results go away if you start to make normal eye movements, Well this is 100% true. I could see my eyebags come back and they looked worse if that's even possible. The tightening feeling was still there but my eyebag resembled what a silicone boob looks like - squooshy with tight defined lines…it looked as if the bags were trying to break thru the tight barrier. That's when I was like "Ahhhh ok, there's the catch!!!" What's the point of tightening this so nicely only to have it wear off once you start making normal facial expressions? I honestly don't know how people are saying they are getting hours-long effect with this. I mean for crying out loud, some of the social media videos, the subjects have complete luggage sets under their eyes and it went away and mine aren't even half the size and so there's no way those Ad people are having all day effects when my normal bags didn't even get 15 mins out of it lolThe immediate effect was beyond amazing but it does not last! I did it exactly how the instructions told me to. I wish I had the courage to post my before/after and video, so please just take my word for it!Other little things to be aware of. I don't know how people of a darker skin tone are using this because it gave me a light white mask look and I really didn't use a full pea size amount on either eye.It also feels like you have a thin layer of dried glue on your eyes (this feeling didn't bother me though). And when you wipe it off with a makeup remover wipe, you can feel that it has a chalky feel to it, so if you're expecting this to feel moisturizing, it doesn't at all. Also, if your eye tears, you have just completely ruined that eye because it literally takes off the cream in an instant and you can see your normal puffy skin.Unless I one day decide to splurge on surgery for the undereye area, I'm going to have to start embracing my 51 year old eyes because I'm finally learning, the expensive way, that there is no miracle cream that's going to take away the wrinkles and bags. I'll continue to moisturize and adjust my makeup habits under the eye so I don't accentuate my flaws as much but as far as this product goes, it's a definite NO for me. I'm really surprised at the reviews of people saying they have great all day results because I just don't see how it's possible. Good luck to anyone using it!
