I still find this to be incredulous! I'm thrilled to know you are experiencing a beneficial improvement too. Bravo!!!
I guess I am more of a sagger as opposed to wrinkles as I age. Oh the joys of gravity. Fortunately I inherited some good skin genes, but here's a scary thought..perhaps I should use this full face now? Lest I end looking like a bulldog down the line. Ouch!
This is very pricey. It's the most I've spent on any product. Definitely less than seeing a Doc for some kind of procedure, at least shorter term...
I do hate what's changing on my neck. (who wouldn't! ) Google Kybella. This is a new heat treatment for the neck. Pretty amazing! I got wind of this last June when Allergan bought the parent company, Kythera, as a stock play. VERY impressive before and afters.
One question I'd like to ask being you use Perricone. Do you know off an eye treatment that reduces puffiness? I'm interested in the upper eyelid specifically. Especially the inner corners where I seem to be getting a pooch. I wonder if this is fat? I had my upper eyelids done 15 years ago, hooding, from Dad. Now some crepiness but the poochy thing bothers me the most. I know there isn't a needle in a cosmetic bottle but thought I'd ask!
I'm off to pick up a pet Rx at a far away Costco. It's inconvenient but I'll save hundreds of $$$ compared to other local sources. Costco also has a discount insurance plan for uninsured family members even if they have four legs and a tail!!! Love!
@rochelleS LOL! Bulldog? ha! I continue to enjoy how you write....down to earth.
You do know what a Shar Pei looks like, don't you? Don't ever get that way! ha!
I checked out the Kybella as you suggested. Okay, the word injections made me get off the site pronto. ha! I dread needles big time. But you are right; great results in those pictures.
As to your question about suggestions for eye treatment, I know people will have a lot of suggestions for you. I personally use Perricone's Re:Firm for the eyes. It works the same way as his regular Re:Firm for the face does......tightens up the skin a few minutes after applying. Not sure if you have seen the demonstration on that, but you might want to check out the videos on QVC in the product area.
The Re:Firm for the eyes says to use it under the eyes to tighten up that area. A little goes a long way. There have been times when I have forgotten and put it on the lid too. ha!
For the eyelid area I use his Acyl-Gutathione Eyelid Serum, which has taken care of the crepiness for me. Both of the products suggest going beyond the eye area, to the sides. You know, the Cleopatra look.
Every time there is a thread where people talk about their favorite Perricone product, the Acyl-Gutathione always gets mentioned (it also comes in a form for the rest of the face, not just the eyelid area).
The Re:Firm Eye and Facial products are kind of freaky. When you first see them, they are like a white gel. You rub a small amount between your fingers, warming them up, and they become a clear serum. Then you apply.
When Dana demonstrates them, she shows you inside the jar and how it is a jello consistency. She takes some out, making an indentation in the product that remains in the jar. After a few minutes she shows you the inside of the jar again, and the stuff has gone back to its regular smooth consistency, no indentation. In other words, it bounces back....tightening up in the jar. That's to show you that once you put it on your face/under the eye, it tightens up your skin.
Sometimes I use the Re:Firm facial product instead of the daily Facial Cream (that came with the Conformer), because it dries faster. So when I'm in a hurry, I use the Re:Firm instead.
If you ever saw my bathroom you would think I sell Periccone; I have so much. I rotate the various products, mixing it up once in a while. But I have never paid full price for any of it. Never purchased it anywhere but QVC, and only when they have a special or TSV.
I know, I know.....I'm a Perricone junkie. His stuff just does a great job for me. Every once in a while I will try something else (like Tatcha or TriVectin), but I always go back to Perricone. I really don't like to mix products from different companies, as I feel there is a chance that something from one company might "fight" an ingredient in another company's products.
If you want to get an idea of my skin condition, there is a picture of me on a thread called "New product hints! World traveler scopes 2 and 3," which was originally posted on 3/12/16. It is message #3. Someone kindly put up a Periscope screen shot of my visit with Chaz Dean.
It will give you an idea of how Perricone has taken care of my facial/forehead wrinkles. Although you can't tell from that picture, the neck (right under the jaw area) is very smooth. Doesn't look like it from the angle of the picture, but P's Sub-D has made a huge difference.
Hope this was all helpful!
Long time getting back here. Too much happening on my end. I'd tell you in person but I feel it's inappropriate on a forum.
Nonetheless, my continued use of TSV products has resulted in additional lessening of my lines from nose down to jaw. Under my neck is improving too.
I had an aha (or DUH) moment when I realized the neuropeptide cream has a different night version. I couldn't wrap my head around why a treatment product (tsv) was recommended for daytime application. This puzzled me as I continued to use as directed. From this thread, I jumped into the foray of perricone products and began an overwhelming attempt to learn and comprehend this vast product line. It still makes me dizzy.
I'm still chuckling at myself over the NP nite cream in the black tube. I think I took a big bite of dumb. Okay. ..day = Firmness and nite works on wrinkles. Got it.
Acyl-Gutathione interests me for my creepy lids. But, Beautypedia stated this doesn't firm the lids??? Being pricey, I've retreated for the moment and need to research more. Unfortunately the Q has eliminated many reviews in their website. Boo! If this product were sealed, I'd consider a small bottle from eBay. (I know you don't eBay)
I think the A-CG sounds better for me over the Re Firm. I want upper lid as my primary target area.
So I must share my most remarkable find! It's called SeroVital. An amino acid supplement, supposed to support pituitary function that may improve our skin. I saw it in an Ulta flyer and at Costco. What is this $100 beauty pill??? Read a gazillion reviews. Hmmmm sounds interesting. I made a commitment and jumped in with both feet as of 4-22 with my BFF as my partner in crime joining me.
By the way, I am in No Way affliated with this product. It was just my dumb luck that it appeared in my travels.
Costco had a coupon so I bought some more. They sell a 40 day supply vs 30 day for the same price at retail.
I was pulling out of Costco and my phone rang. I pulled back in to chat with my BFF. We were discussing this product. I rolled down my window and got comfy to chat. I looked in my side mirror and gasped. My face looks flawless, like a mirror! Perricone, SeroVital? Both? Whatever, something is seriously working.
My friend isn't using Perricone. Since March her life has been non stop he11. This has always taken toll on her face. She stated it hasn't gotten worse and two days ago commented that her wrinkles are softening. My 83 year old Mother ordered it AND wants the Perricone TSV - which I can send her on the next A/D.
So here's my story and I'm sticking to it!
@rochelleS Well, first of all, do I feel dumb! You mentioned in your post that your mother is 83 and I was really scratching my head over that. Didn't you just say in the other thread on the men's product something about in being in your late 70's????
So I went back, 'cuz you just know I can't even think about anything else in your current post except that your mother was VERY young when she had you, like around 13! ha! So I read the other post wrong. You were talking about something that happened to you in the late 70's, it wasn't that you were in your late 70's. LOL!
Okay, now I can go forward with your post.
So glad to hear about the lessening of lines from your nose down to the jaw, and under the neck too. That is awesome. The Conformer seems to be the Holy Grail; I'm certainly loving it.
The Perricone line of products can be daunting, right? Which one to use when, how, etc. I used to get all dangled up in the WHEN (which one first) of usage, to the point I was going to drop the whole line. It was frustrating me.
I particularly had a problem when Dana would say one thing about usage and when I got the product, the packaging would say something else. Like the demonstration she does on one woman, showing how to "really rub it in hard" on the face.....that's the daytime neuropeptide. But the package says to "pat it on gently." Totally opposite.
So when one very knowledgeable Perricone poster said to follow the protocol (it comes with every package you get from Perricone, and is also online), then I stopped listening to Dana, other than to hear about what the product is supposed to do for your skin.
That's funny about your daytime/nighttime. But yes, you have it. Firmness during the day (unless you really, really care about what you look like when you are asleep.......kind of like always being prepared.....did you mom, like mine, ever tell you that you should always make sure you have clean underwear on in case you are in a car accident?) and repair or work on wrinkles in the evening. Although I must admit I do use one wrinkle product during the day, his deep crease serum. It plumbs up my skin and makes the creases not seem as deep.
As to the eye AG, I like it for making my eyelids smoother. Is that the same as firmness? Maybe, maybe not. But the lids are nicer looking. As to its price, yes his stuff is expensive, even at QVC; however, I am finding as time goes by that I'm learning to use less and less. I used to smear myself in his stuff. Dana has always said to use just a drop or two of this or that, and it never seemed enough. But I have really gotten into the "pat" application as opposed to smear stuff on. Thus, I am not having to replace the bottles as soon as I used to. Like you, it was a duh/aha moment for me. We all have those, right?
I'm still using the Re:Firm for under the eye during the day, which takes care of any puffiness.
As to the Re:Firm for the face, I just finished up a jar of it. Think I have gone thru three jars so far. But now that I don't have any left, I will dig into my daytime neuropeptide that came with the Conformer.
Now that I have had a chance to compare the two, I stick with my original assessment that they do the same thing, with the Re:Firm drying faster. However, if I could only afford one, I would stay with the neuropeptide. I feel it tightens and lifts the face a tad more than the Re:Firm. I feel the firmness all day with it.
I've never heard of SeroVital, so was interested in what you had to say about it and the possible benefits. Too bad you're not sure if it was responsible for your great look in the mirror or if it is the Perricone. Quite a difference in price, yes? But if your BFF is any indication, maybe it is the SeroVital.
For me, I will probably stick with Perricone. Every time I try another line, it may work, but not as well for me. And I'm very opposed to mixing different lines, only because I'm afraid an ingredient of one line might "fight" an ingredient in another line of products, and give me problems.
By the way, you mentioned something about "in my travels." Do you mean just out and about town shopping, or are you interested in traveling? If so, don't hesitate to drop by the "Travel Chat" thread in the Among Friends area. A few of us talked in other forums about having a travel section, so we've started this thread on May 1. You don't have to be a world traveler to contribute. Recently someone has been talking about the islands they travel to. It can be domestic or international, whatever. Just fun to hear what other people are doing and helps to get ideas for vacations.
