Plexiderm followup

coco14 — Sun, 07 Apr 2019 16:11:14 GMT

I wrote a review , with three stars, a week ago and it still has not appeared - nevertheless, this is my update on the product -

I wasn't going out Friday or Saturday, so I decided to do a test - on Friday, I used the product on the left side of my face - frown line, eye, one eleven line and the line by my mouth -

Results - the eye definitely looked much better, the frown line and the others still visible.

Yesterday, I used the product on my right side - a little bit better results - my eye again looked much better, and the eleven line was barely visible; however, the other lines were not affected at all.

So I have to decide if the improvement in the eyes is worth the cost - what price vanity?

@coco14 Thanks so much for your review.

Can I ask if when after applying and keeping still.... can you then scrunch up your face all you want and the lines and puff stay away still?

Also, did you apply makeup afterwards to see how it looked over the plexiderm. Thanks for your answers.

SeaMaiden -

Great questions - I don't have water based cosmetics, so I didn't put my usual Bare Minerals powder on - but I don't normally put anything under my eyes -

The eyes stayed "puffed" throughout the day but the eleven line showed clearly within an hour of applying Plexiderm -

I am pleased though with the apprearance of my eyes.

@coco14, What is the problem with your eyes? You said they stayed puffed. Are hollows the problem? That is one of my issues.

Montana,

i meant "puffed" as a good thing! The concave look of my normal undereye appearance was improved - I should not have said my eyes were puffed - sorry for the confusion.

@coco14 I thought you said it as a positive, but wasn’t sure exactly what you meant. I have the concave undereye problem too. So far, I have not found any product that helped. If I can use it, I will give Plexiderm a try.

Thanks for the review.

Montana,

My only concern about this is the cost - trying to balance that against the good effects.

Wouldn't it be nice if Q offered a trial size instead of the $70+ "2-fer"?

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to try Plexiderm. One of the ingredients is phenoxyethanol which does not agree with my skin.

Phenoxyethanol seems to be the preservative of choice these days.

@coco14

As for the “ 11’s “, I tried Botox injections there several times and really didn’t see any reason to keep spending the money.

Don’t think I could stay still that long with the Plexiderm !

On a whim, I tried using IT Concealer in the “11’s” and then my normal makeup. It really diminished the depth of the lines all day. Worth a try !

@Mary Bailey May I please ask if you've found anything effective for "smile lines"? I do smile most of the time, but occasionally I think, lol!

Thanks!

@Mary Bailey Please let me know how that goes for you. I had cystic acne from 1981 until now. The cysts have slowed down from monthly to one about every two years. I've had so many injections all over my face, especially around my eyes, I'm kind of done with that.

@ECBG the green light is for acne on the mask. I use the red, purple and white lights 5 minutes each per session. Sometimes the smile lines are gone, but never for long.

I'll be 60 on 4/26. I hate the look! I think the smile (puppet lines) really age me.

@Mary Bailey Of course I don't want any lines and it's a process for sure. I have heard the new fillers have lidocaine in them. I may just do that in a few months.

Mary Bailey — Mon, 08 Apr 2019 01:19:02 GMT

@ECBG no matter how bad the lines are, I just can't imagine getting any injections! (so I say now)

If you do, please let me know how it goes!

@Stevie Nix always thought that....also less returns! eBay is selling tons. some say scuff marks, no box and all - many sellers say this even with makeup and I got lucky many x's (with like blushes and things like that)-but it doesnt fool me it's a return!

Many many eBay sellers are like that but heck, if one doesn't mind go for it!

BUT yes, they should make samples or deluxe sizes of things like this..geeesh

My biggest problem is deep under eye hollows. I have a little bit of puffiness too (which is not a good thing).

I haven't tried Plexiderm but I have tried the Peter Thomas Ross, Firmx. It's similar but leaves a white flaky resdiue. They say if you use too much it will leave the residue but if you don't use enough then it will do nothing...I only use a very small pea sized amount and it still leaves the white flaky residue under my eye.

Does Plexiderm leave a residue?

Have you tried Instatox from SSC, been around forever and ingredients are similar to Plexaderm. And a heck of a lot less costly.

Haddon9 -

I have not seen any residue from the Plexiderm, but in the Reviews many said they did.

For some reason, my left eye requires more product than the right side, but I use it sparingly - my undereye area stays "puffed" all day (at first, there is a feeling of tightness but I don't feel it after awhile) - so I have decided to keep it and use it even if I do not go out.
