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

This is a genuine review—not one of those paid Vine ones where people get free products. I watched all the TikTok videos on this cream and read tons of reviews. Honestly, I was skeptical since the feedback was all over the place. But I’m pleasantly surprised to say: this stuff works.I’m 49, and I have under-eye puffiness and a few fine lines. The first time I used it, I applied it before my concealer—big mistake. It rubbed right off when applying concealer. The second time, I applied the cream first, let it dry completely before gently applying my concealer with a makeup sponge and setting it with a little powder. That did the trick.The key is to use a very small amount. My skin smoothed out beautifully, with no white cast (and I have olive skin, so any cast would definitely show). You’ll start to see results in about 3–4 minutes. I’ve worn it to work, and even by the afternoon, my under-eye area still looks smooth.You barely need any product, so the bottle will last a long time. I’m seriously impressed and will absolutely keep using it. This is my honest experience, and I hope it helps someone else who's on the fence!

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.

This stuff is amazing! I am ,or was very self-conscious about my wrinkled left side of my face. My right side doesn't have this problem. I have been to a dermatologist and was considering Botox. I am not sure why my face is like this? I even had a brain scan to see if I had had a stroke, and no, I hadn't. So anyway I had tried the eyelift cream made by this company and it worked great. I put a little of it on my face and OMG it worked, so I thought I'd buy this that is for your face and I am not disappointed. I am soon to be 67yrs old and have two sisters older than I am and neither have this problem, so yah, it was bothersome. The other day I went to lunch with one of them and she said what kind of makeup are you wearing? You look beautiful! I can't see any wrinkles. Well I told her what I had used on the right-side of my face, Which is called Tarte, but I kept the left side my little secret, well for now anyway. I can't seem to get my make up to blend in with it yet with good results but I've only been working with it for a couple days now. It looks even when I'm done even though I don't put make up on the left side. I do put a little powder on both sides, which I think evens it out. It lasts about 6 hours and when I go to wash it all off it still doesn't look real noticeable, but I can tell it's losing it's tightness. I have seen a post on here where people say it's not working, well here's probably why it's not. First of all before you squeeze it out of the tube give it a good shaking with the cap still on of course. I didn't do that the first time and it came out clear and watery looking. I put it on and thought, well that's not as good as the eye cream. Then I remembered I had shook the eye cream lol. So then I shook it and it was thicker and worked great. The consistency should look like vicks vapor rub. Well I hope this all helps you all. Took a lot for me to even post that wrinkly photo of my face lol. Good luck.

Here’s what SUCKS. This product WORKS, it’s not a gimmick, my under eye bags do disappear. BUT, the milky residue it leaves is NO JOKE. It would be fine if makeup covered it, but my makeup reacts to the residue and it just seems impossible to cover up.The more I try and cover it up, the more the product stops working. I can’t walk around with funky residue under my eyes so I can’t use this.If the owner of the company reads reviews, PLEASE, figure out a solution to this problem!!!

So the truth is it DOES work. It just doesn’t last as long as we would like.It’s a great choice if you just want that immediate firmness for a photo or short event. It really does tighten your skin. I was pleasantly surprised.I’m 60 and tightened up my face really well. Make sure you don’t smile or stretch your face while it is drying. That’s key. I use a blow drier to help speed up drying. Also, don’t overdo it. Less is more with this stuff.Too much and you risk flaking when it’s been on a long time. I keep it in my purse in case I go out and need to reapply. Just wash off the old first.Now let’s see if they can make that one lasts all day! That would be life changing 😉.
