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

Love this stuff, it IS an instant face tightener. Make sure your regular moisturizer is absolutely dry before applying. Some moisturizers will cause the whitening or cause it not to work. So if you aren’t seeing results, omit anything you apply before applying this to see how that works. If you apply it to a spot that is constantly moving like around your mouth/lips, it will tend to turn into that white powder that people talk about. Works well under eyes, neck, forehead etc. I have only found that around the mouth is where it tends to turn white and also when using a cheaper moisturizer. I always carry in my purse a small moisturizer in case it does turn white in small places that I can easily erase the white by applying moisturizer over it. But no one has ever found a face tightening gel that doesn’t turn white, so this is by far the best for the price. Until they figure out how to completely get tighteners to stop turning white altogether, this is the best one I have found. Read full instructions before using for tips

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 use this for bags under my eyes. It is true if you use too much it will leave a white residue. I read an article not long ago that rated and reviewed eye products. This received high marks - which I already knew since I was already using. But, I did learn a trick for application. Put a small dab in the palm of your hand and use your finger and rub it, making a fine layer on your palm. If there are fine white pieces, continue rubbing until they go away. I then just dab and rub a little under each eye and it works awesome. Before I would just put a little bit on my finger and dabbed it on but at times would get the white residue. Doing it the new way I have excellent results.

I was excited to finally buy and receive this, although, not sure what all the raves about because it barely worked for me. The instructions said I could use my daily moisturizer with it but a coworker says she doesn't use moisturizer with it, so I'm still undecided.I applied several times over a couple hours to my chin, sides of mouth and neck with no moisturizer and as you can see, doesn't appear to have done nothing. It worked minimally on forehead and crows feet lines around eyes. For $50 I was really hoping it would work.

I have been using this for about one year. Here’s some details for those of you reading reviews prior to your purchase: I am male / 57 / Caucasian. Periodic wrinkle relaxing injections user.I had to play with this for some time to find the right amount snot didn’t leave the white film. It is annoying. But I have found mixing this product with the same brand product called “no filter” cream which is more like a liquid base cream works best. When I was trying to help with the white film you sometimes get I travelled down the powder aisle; I don’t use make up so I don’t know if the powder I bought was translucent or what so o didn’t get relief there. And it was expensive so I was going down another product path on that. But if you mix this with the other PMR cream it works like a charm. I do about 60/40 more of that less of this and I use my blow dryer to quick set on cool mode. It really works. The no filter product claims you can put make up on top of it, I don’t know about that. But you can’t moisturize on top or it doesn’t work. So if you are cool with no other makeup I can tell you this lasts almost my entire work day. Humidity outside plays a role in the length of the tightness. But overall it’s a great tightening product. The first few hours I am without almost any visible deep wrinkles!

You must shake the bottle for 1 minute to avoid the white residue during the day. I do not wear make up, so after serums, I mix it with my sunblock and let it dry naturally.But the real trick is this: wash your face at night and smooth on a good amount- you do want to see the residue for this process, thick like a mask . Let it dry making sure that you close your eyes often or they will be glued open. Sleep on your back and wash your face and normal routine in the morning. Your face is tight and plump all day! No need to use it during the day.
