Brighter Skin . . . Lighter Wallet, April 6, 2010

I’m giving this four stars because even after a week I can see that the crow’s feet under my eyes are tightening up. However, some of the cons tend to balance this out:

Pro
*Although it’s pricey, they pretty much swear you will see results in a month, so it’s not a huge investment financially or timewise to see if it works for you.

*The creams smell like expensive salon products, so you’ll feel/smell pampered at your bathroom sink.

*My skin definitely looks brighter to me. Having said that, my 7-year-old asked me yesterday if it was hand cream. When I explained what the product was for and asked if I looked any younger, she could not stop laughing and yelled “No!” So, out of the mouths of babes. You probably won’t get any miracles out of this.

*Psychologically, I think if you’re going to spend time dabbing goo on your face each and every day, you’re probably going to take care of yourself in other ways: flossing, going to the gym, etc. So in general, it may prompt you to engage in self-care.

*One of the tubes contains sunblock (I believe—see “con” comment regarding lack of info. on the tubes), so you automatically get that benefit (although it’s hard to believe there could be enough protection from such a small dab of cream).

*There’s a cute little plastic holder to store your tubes in and they don’t take up much room.

Con
*It’s expensive and the bottles are miniscule. They are meant to last a month (I can’t verify if they do, but I have been skipping my neck, because I suspect they do not). This means that if you were to keep buying the program, you’d be shelling out close to half a grand a year. By comparison, my eighty-year-old aunties don’t look a day over sixty, and they’ve never used anything but Noxema. So you may be able to achieve the same results for a lot less.

*One of the creams is grey. It does not feel natural to spread grey goo on your face. Also, it has a weird plastic feel, almost like a face mask product. This all brings me to the next point:

*As another reviewer noted, this is not an organic product. So if this is important to you, keep looking. Basically, you’re putting chemicals on your skin, which does not appeal to me over the long-term.

*There aren’t many instructions on the tubes (because they’re so small), so unless you memorize the “instructions” on the box, you’re pretty much on your own. It seems to me the box called this a “starter kit,” which implies that we should be moving on to something else after a month, or maybe a set of larger tubes, but my DH threw out the box, so again, no more info.

Bottom line: If you are interested, try it. One month won’t break the bank. However, although I like it, I suspect I’ll be moving on when the tubes run out, based on cost if nothing else.
