Peter Thomas Roth | Instant FIRMx® Temporary Face Tightener

Ive been looking at and read many reviews about this PTR FIRMX TEMPORARY facial tightener. I finally purchased through Amazon, best price I had seen. This is the first line of product that many reivewers noted leaves a white shadow or residue after drying. But I wanted to try this product anyway, so I ordered it and it came to me well packed, one large 3.4 fl.oz. tube. Which IMO is a nice supply for a good month at less than $25.00 and undamaged. I used this PTR next day, I read the many reviews and applied it per pkg instructions, saw it presented on QVC and remembered how they applied it on models. I just dont have time to wait 7-10 minutes for it to dry. I applied it on clean moisturized face. Put a pea? or pencil head size on my finger and dabbed it onto the 11's ( forehead),above eyebrows and on brow bone, also on the sides of my eyes "crows feet" and marionette indentations, got my dryer out and dried it. It actually DID help ...and then I applied a little bit of foundation trying not to make or move my expression as I applied. The product did leave a bit of a white shadow on my olive skin, and also I noted the product began to "Pill up" (reivewers mentioned) into tiny particles as I dabbed on the bit of foundation. So I decided to use more of the PTR product mixing it onto my fingers as I also added my beige foundation ...dabbing/pressing it onto my skin with the foundation. I felt the slightest tighening, but nothing that "pulled" ...I realized that it was staying in place, no more "pilling"....my lines were and remain a " shadow" of what they priviously were before, and the white reside was gone. This is my honest review, NO, I am not a paid contributer. My age is 69..I am active, I teach kickboxing 2X a wk,body builder, I walk 3-4 miles every other day, maintain a healthy diet so my skin is firm but is showing the natural signs of aging. I am satisfied with this PTR product and do recommend it. Before giving a negative review, please do try it, keeping in mind it is not going to REMOVE wrinkles or lines permanantly, it is Temporary. Anything permanant is drastic and has its drawbacks, or worse side effects. Take care of Your beautiful skin....whatever it is! I am NOT getting paid for this review, its my honest review. I am turning 70 in June this year, I do eat well, exercise and instruct kickbox classes. So my skin is firm but really is showng signs of my age. I am very pleased and impressed with this product I use it how I feel best "fits my skin" needs for the result I want or hope for. I am going to purchase the Newer PTR product when I am done with this current product. I really was not expecting anything more than what some of the negative reviews gave. Its not PERFECT, but for this mature woman,it does what it is advertized about. I see a slight improvement and am not using as much foundation, although I don't use much, just a bit to cover the age spot on my cheek and to cover/hide the dark circles I inherited. My review is true for me Only...But for the price I paid, and the improvement I have seen in 7 days...it is a Keeper and cheaper than going under needles and having one eye smaller and more closed than the other one. I like PTR product for now. Give it a try...nothing is perfect but its worth a try. I recommend it right now. Good price and again I will try the Newer improved tightener in the future. Thanks for reading..:D

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 works. It *temporarily* blurs fine lines and minimizes appearance of under eye bags and so on. Is it perfect? No. It often leaves powdery residue and you must apply only tiny amounts very carefully. But when you get it right, the results are AMAZING. Does it last all day? No. But it lasts long enough to go out to dinner or have your picture made. Sometimes I forget I put it on, and I'll look in the mirror and wonder why my skin looks so good. I recommend purchasing the face tightener cream rather than the eye cream because the face tightener can be used on both the face and around eyes but the price per ounce is much lower. Before, I bought a different product that costs 10X this from a very high end spa. This works equally well. I wish I would have known about this product before dropping $350 on the same functioning cream at the spa.

I’m really not sure how to rate this I will say it lightly tightened my hooded eyes I also put it on my neck because I’ve lost weight and it looks a little saggy and it tightened my skin a little but it left a white residue and once I cleaned that up it’s like the product I guess disappeared and it stoped working after maybe 30 min, I wish I could get my money back but oh well. Maybe it works better or last longer on other people.

It works but its defenitely temporay for me anyway i timed it and it only last about an hour. You know you have something on your face feels like a skin mask you put on but never washed off. I did get use to that feeling on face. You can not put make up on over the top for some reson. I haven't tried putting it on before but you have to have a clean face so i dont see that being possible. If you use to much then it gets chalking so you dont need alot . I will go ahead and keep it but will try another one that allows make up over it.

I have been using for awhile now and love it, if you put to much it will turn white like I see others are saying, you don’t need much at all and this bottle will last a long time. The small bottle is good for me for a month or two. A little goes a long way.

I tried this product daily for about 2 weeks. PROS: It does TEMPORARILY tighten the skin. I have Some deep wrinkles on my forehead and between the eyebrows. They completely disappear after I apply the product incompletely clean, unmoisturized skin. The pores get tighter and I feel my skin get very tight. CONS: there are many!!!! 1. The product leaves thin white film on the whole face and if there are any spots that ended up getting slightly more product, the white is very visible. 2. When the product dries completely, the skin feels dry and sort of fuzzy or even like a fine sandpaper. Not very pleasant! 3. The minute I wash the product off, or apply ANY skincare or cosmetics product over it, the tightening effect disappears completely. Not a trace of the tightness or smoothness 4. If I apply ANY tinted moisturizer or foundation without washing off the product, it just cakes up and sits on top of the skin very visibly. Plus, the tightening effect disappears completely. 5. If I mix In the product into my other skincare products, it has NO effect. So, in conclusion, I would NOT recommend this product because it cannot be used with other skincare and makeup products. So the purpose of it is solely to apply, let it dry, look at your smoother skin in the privacy of your home for a few minutes, wash it off and see absolutely no lasting effects after it. This product is useless, although the TEMPORARY tightening effect is there. I see no useful benefit in this product at all. pictured: 1. Photo of the product 2. Photo of my forehead after the product was applied and fully dried. 3. Photo of my forehead less than 30 seconds after I wiped It off partially. So USELESS!!!!

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.

It looks like a white substance when it dries up. Though once it tightens on your face skin does look younger.

وصلني المنتج بدرجة حرارة اكثر من ٤٠ درجة والأكيد انني لن استعمله ولكن الاستبدال مرفوض لهذه السلعه ،،، لا انصح به أبدا

Effetti si vedono con con un uso ripetuto nel tempo

It defn tightens the face but you can’t really use it with face cream. Can leave a white residue but I might have used too much

ファンデションはリキッドやクッションファンデの人は難しいと思います。パウダーファンデもオークル系のほうが隠しやすいと思いました。このジェルを塗った後乾いた状態は白い感じになっていますので明るめのパウダーファンデなら目立ちました。色々と試したり使ってますが…動画のようにはいかず夜寝る時や休みの日に使ってます。美容液でもないし？良い使い方のコツを知りたいです。
