Ok package arrived today, so here I sit with this product on. Seems theres two versions, this ones the ausie version, the american site version is diff looking and contains less products. But good news is I got the real stuff!!!
Ok first ur suppose to cleanse with their creamy cleanser(included) I am def not a fan of this, its a bit oily feeling for me, but wanting to follow instruction, I was a good little trooper and did not reuse another cleanser. Next u mix up the powder and activator and apply with supplied fan brush in upward motions all over face and neck, and spot reapply in troubled areas for what they call double tacking. Then your suppose to leave it be for 30 mins. I am 5 minutes into this and YIKES my face is tight!! *makes note* def plan on not answering phone, door, hubby or anyone, you won't be able to move ur mouth to do it . This is def not a sit back and enjoy a cup of tea while it works product, I can barely move my mouth. 30 minutes into this and my face is not tighter (not sure it could be), but remaining the same (think frozen).
To remove you are suppose to use a teaspoon of cleanser mixed with 5 teaspoons of warm water and apply with the brush in upward motions to loosen product, then rinse with warm water and pat dry. Ok easy enough . But if your then just rinsing anyway seems like alot of trouble to loosen this first, but again I'll be good. No further explanation needed on this, off it came. My face feels extremely smooth, where I have some lines (mainly mouth area) they are greatly diminshed.
Next..dot face with tissue firming serum and smooth over entire face and neck with dampened fingertips, working from center out and upwards. Tiny trick to using this dropper type product is to hold button down on dropper insert into bottle then release button to get the product up in the dropper, otherwise none goes in. This product is part cream part serum, green and feels nice, sinks right into skin.
I will say I am a bit impressed so far, my face is baby butt soft and smooth. Can't tell on firmness (although my face still feels tight not uncomfortable but tight), since I am not saggy at all to begin with. The lined areas are hugely diminshed but again its only been 5 minutes. The real test will be after the tens days and I am thru with the 3 treaments. Ok I so hope I've covered this, if not ask away!!

I am probably not the best reviewer of this product since I do not have sagging at all, what I was hoping to get rid of are any fine lines I am starting to develope  but since it is a LIFT, it might or might not do this for me. |

| ok I am def not liking the texture of my skin this evening. I will not be using this again. I do think if one has sagging issues, it would prob do the trick, since it caused my skin to go so taunght during application. But because my textures changed tonight, I will be doing some super moisturising and not repeating this lift. |

It felt non smooth to the touch (its normally very smooth) when I washed my face tonight, it was still very smooth this morning , I never have rough feeling skin and the only different thing I've done is that. And this was super douper tightening, and not having any sagging issues, maybe it was just too much. But as I said if someone had sagging issues this might be fabulous.
I have put heavy moisture (eutra) on my face and its back to my feeling normal to the touch. So my only guess is my face was getting dry, hince texture(feel) change
so rough might be wrong word, it was the feeling of my face to my fingers.
p.s. the change could of happened at any time after I washed my face this morning, I didnt notice this till I washed my face tonight. |

| its not a bad product at all, if you need lifting, I would say its very strong, too strong for me since I don't need the lifting. I am all for firming and my skins still firmer from using this. The web site lists all the ingredientswww.privateformula.com.au I was not really thinking it thru when I ordered this, I dont have sagging what I really wanted was firming. |

I have used this product and it is quite good but you can get just as good results by using beaten egg white as a mask and a dmae serum afterwards. The main active ingredients in the product are indeed albumin (egg white) and dmae. Use beaten egg white alone if you have fairly oily skin, or whole beaten egg if you have drier skin. This is safe enough to use all over the face including eyelids.
Use any good quality cleanser before applying and apply the actual egg white in upwards strokes with a brush or your fingers (gently). The reason for using the cleanser mixed with water in circular motion is simply to avoid pulling at the skin because the mask is so tight. Do something similar when removing the home made egg white mask. Just splash face with lots and lots of tepid water, gently dot on a cream cleanser, massage in gently and splash off with lots and lots of tepid water and possibly gently using a face cloth if any remains (it does tend to get left behind in eyelashes and brows) before applying a cream or serum containing dmae.
The green serum is quite good, but any good quality dmae serum is just as good, or make your own by adding dmae bitartrate to aloe vera gel, plus a little lecithin if desired. |

I have to second what luckylouie says about egg white masks!
if you add an aspirin as well, you have a real double whammy.
a favourite of mine, this is. |

| Oh catski, I didn't need to hear that! I'm allergic to aspirin and it kills me to see how happy everyone is with it in their skincare routine. I would LOVE to try it but the risk of death puts me off. |

| this tip is is prob right, it does tighten like egg whites, I do recall is was extreme. But it also changed the texture of my skin the day after, had to be from drying. |

Melissa Marie, this sounds a lot like Esther's Secret Face Lifting System. Do you remember when Judy Marshall was active on the forum? I purchased her mask. The results were impressive. A homemade egg white mask did not have the same results. When I tried to make my own version the mask did not harden like Esters Secret.
I checked out the US site you are referring to. I went to "sample" link. Hope I get to try some of these products.  |

Hey Winnie,
I do think if your prob is a bit of sagging (and I've seen ur pics, so u fib if you say yes, grins) then this stuff rocks. Since I was not sagging, it just did extreme tightening to my face, so honestly can't see how it won't help if you need it. Thats the best review I can do, since I didn't need it. And having never done an egg whites one, I was just guessing. So ladies who want a lift, this should work!! Let me know Winnie!! |
