As I watch Perlier, Elemins, PTR, Dr D,etc, they all clame so much but does any one over 70 see good results from anything?  They are expensive.  Not to mention particular vendors but some don't represent their product or claims well.

@matty liz  I was thinking the other day when i saw Peter Thomas Roth on selling his kincare he looks awful. I can not stsnd to watch skip and his mother selling perlier. Afrer all their years in the business unless they have changed recenly, they continue to say flavors instead of scent or fragrance. Flavors denote taste not smell. You would think they would do better.

Can I add something?

 

Skip and Amanda are NOT "real" prince and princess.  Those were honorary titles bestowed on their family by the church honoring their very generous charitable donations.

 

Second:   The United States does not allow citizens to use royal titles.        di

I feel the same. I used the PTR serum awhile back and noticed nothing different. Same with other products.Same fine lines, under eye discoloration, etc.

It depends on the results you are looking for. They all moisturize okay; I like some better than others. This is where I might try different lines. 

 

Then again, you have to have reasonable expectations, especially if one has years of neglect, or if your diet isn't pristine, and then there is the environment... 

 

Over the years my best results have come from glycolic acid, retinol (not PTR's) & topical vitamin C.

I just posted the other day that a poster her gave 2 great inexpensive recommendations that really worked and quickly.  My expectations were met and at 81 I am very happy.  Both products were at Trader Joe's and the bill was under #11 total.

 

Nails & cuticles:  Balm ( tin ) all over use.  Shea butter main

                                     Ingredient.Cuticles & nails repaired.

 

Face & Under eyes:  100% pure Argan Oil with Vitamin E.

                                      Looked better and concealer went

                                      on smoother under eyes.

I have tried a lot of the Perlier products and while I like some, I find Lancome and Elemis give me the best resullts overall.  I'm sure results may vary though.

When they show before and after pictures I have to wonder who are these gals that get these results, never happened to me.  Yes, some products make my skin feel more moisturized, but I certainly don't get the promised results. I've come to the realization that aging is going to happen no matter what products we use and just accept that fact and do our best.

@Biftu    I have noticed that all the before and after photos have different lighting.  Lighting can make a HUGE difference in how a person  looks.  So the the people in the after photos probably look just like the before photos.

@matty liz   Over 70 and the only results I see is from long time (40 yrs.) of good skincare.

 

IMHO I think if you begin a product with claims of lifting, firming, line/wrinkle removing at any age you'll be disappointed. Lotions and creams can't do that. Derms recommend only 3 tried and true anti-aging products: moisturizer, Retin A  and sunscreen rain or shine.
