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.

YES IT DOES LEAVE A WHITE CAST.. and NO YOU CANNOT WEAR IT UNDER MAKEUP!!! I say this, because I indeed have used it and wanted it so desperately to work under my makeup and what happens the moment you add a primer or foundation OVER the product.. it no longer smooths out your lines!!! it is fantastic on its own and it does indeed work… But it leaves a chalky cast, and really tightens your face! Some reviews did say it wears off after you smile and that is correct! I DONT FEEL IT is not a long lasting nor compatible with any other product I AM GOING TO KEEP IT ONLY BECAUSE I MIGHT BE ABLE TO WEAR IT IN THE WINTER WHERE I AM FAR MORE LIGHTER THOUGH I SHOULD RETURN IT!!

so this definitely works to temporarily tighten skin. However, I find that it only really works on my 11 lines... scowl lines between my eyebrows. I swear, I look 10 years younger when I use this product on the 11 lines. BuSmile lines, and lines around the eyes aren't really affected. Maybe it's because of the facial movements. but those lines remain. THEN, even tho it does work on the 11 lines, there is a downside... it leaves a residue that eventually cakes up and flakes off. Sometimes, you can see the patch of product on the face, because you really can't put makeup over it as that softens the skin back up and make the product start to come off For very short term use, it is great on my 11 lines and really makes me look younger, which is the goal. But be prepared to have to check on it regularly to make sure it is not showing itself. If so, wash it off and reapply.

This stuff is incredible and it does work. Bit pricey but worth it! Dang!!

So, I came across this product on my nightly scroll through reels. I thought, wow! i searched for more videos and found even more wow! i figured i would look on amazon and was happy to see the lower price. I read the instructions and watched some videos. The 1st i tried to apply it, it went wrong. white residue like most say. hmmm. so i waited and tried again the next day (after more reading). This time, i was able to make it work. I am in my early 50s and have folds around my mouth and crows feet. i dabbed a small amount on my fingers and started at my mouth, rubbing it in an upward motion. Don't use more than a dab (think #2 pencil eraser). then i went to my undereyes. I could instantly feel it tighten and after several minutes did a mirror check. What i noticed first were the lined around my mouth virtually disappearing and then my eyes! wow! for each application i used the same amount. you have to work fast because it does dry. the first time i tried it, i mixed it with my foundation which yielded zero results (it's water based). this time i'm using my powder foundation and it is soooooooooooo much better. My face does feel really tight which is a little strange. I don't think i will use this daily but i am thankful i have something that i can turn to when i need to. I did not put any moisturizer on my face prior to applying product. I have seen some videos where people are doing that and they end up with the residue or it not working. Also, like some have said there is a lot of trial and error (mostly error) but once you figure it out it really does do what it says.

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!!!!

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。
