Genie Instant Line Smoother - Thoughts

I just saw that there is a Genie Instant Line Smoother set - a larger bottle and a smaller bottle for $40 - which I thought was a good deal.  Does anybody use this still - and if so do you enjoy it?  I think I used it ages ago but can't remember for sure.  It might have been a similar product?  Is this the same thing that Leigh Valentine represented here a long time ago?  

 

Anyway, does anybody like this?  I thought it might be something mild and gentle to use on my sensitive skin.

 

Thanks!

@Jacie 

It didn't do anything?  Oh, my --- that's not right that they act like it does something.  I watched the demo and it looked kind of nice.  Thank yo!

@AngelPuppy1 it cracks and krinkles when you smile and you can't put anything over it, like any foundation or concealer. Just not good IMHO.

I’ve always been curious about these products but whenever I read reviews, they mostly say exactly what @AngelPuppy1 said.

I tried it too and I agree with @Jacie --saw absolutely no difference. Just hype!!

Leigh Valentine never was the rep for Genie, she was the rep for Distinctions .

I get very positive results from using PTR Line Smoother and the one from Westmore, use these mainly under the eyes. sometimes I mix the 2 since Westmore is tinted.

Re: Genie Instant Line Smoother - Thoughts

I have tried several of these products in the past including Genie.

 

They work up to a point....however they tend to leave a white film & residue, they are basically a glue that smooths out wrinkles & puffiness but you can't put makeup on over it and don't sweat!

 

I also don't think it's very good for your skin.

@AngelPuppy1  I tried it as well....it did nothing except leave my face tight, white and dry. All those products are the same.
