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

I love the way this hides my wrinkles and tightens my face! Of course, it's temporary but I normally see results for 6-8 hours! You do have to be careful on how much you use because it can leave a white residue. When applying you should only use a small amount and be sure to blend well!

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've had this for a little while. I felt scammed my first few uses at least. This is not something I would be brave enough to use in public. Any sweat or product inconsistency mike make this stuff dry like paint & look like a bird pooped on your face. Just saying.But it is something I can use quickly before a video meeting as long as I keep my chin up. Then I wash it off.

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!
