Alright, let’s talk about this Peter Thomas Roth Instant Firmx thingamajig. Folks are callin’ it a face tightener, a wrinkle smoother, somethin’ like that. I ain’t no fancy beauty expert, ya hear? Just a plain ol’ woman lookin’ to see if this stuff actually works or if it’s just a bunch of hogwash.
Now, I’ve seen my fair share of creams and potions, and most of ‘em ain’t worth a plugged nickel. They promise you the moon and stars, but all you end up with is a greasy face and an empty wallet. So, when I heard about this Peter Thomas fella’s magic potion, I was skeptical, to say the least. But, I figured, what the heck? Worth a try, ain’t it?
First off, the name itself is a mouthful: Peter Thomas Roth Instant Firmx Temporary Face Tightener. Sounds like somethin’ a city slicker would come up with. But, I ain’t judgin’ a book by its cover, so I went ahead and got myself some.
The first thing I noticed was that it comes in a little tube. Not a big ol’ jar like some of them other creams. And it ain’t cheap neither. You’re payin’ a pretty penny for this little tube, so you hope it’s gonna do somethin’. The instructions say to put a thin layer on your face, and then just let it dry. Sounds simple enough, right?
Well, lemme tell ya, it ain’t quite that easy. When you first put it on, it feels kinda sticky. And then, as it dries, it starts to tighten up. And I mean tighten! It feels like your face is bein’ pulled in all directions. It’s a strange sensation, let me tell ya. Kinda like havin’ a rubber band stretched across your face.
Now, here’s where things get interestin’. After a few minutes, when it’s all dry, you look in the mirror and… bam! Your wrinkles, they ain’t gone completely, mind you, but they sure do look a whole lot better. The lines around my eyes, the ones that make me look like an old prune, they were definitely less noticeable. And my skin felt smoother, firmer. I gotta say, I was impressed.
But here’s the catch: it’s temporary. That’s what the name says, right? Temporary. It ain’t gonna last forever. After a few hours, it starts to wear off, and your wrinkles start to show again. So, it’s kinda like a quick fix, somethin’ you use for a special occasion, or when you wanna look your best.
- First Impression: Sticky, tight, kinda weird.
- Results: Wrinkles look better, skin feels smoother.
- Downside: It’s temporary, ain’t gonna last all day.
- Price: A bit pricey for a little tube.
I’ve heard some folks sayin’ you can put makeup over it, but I ain’t so sure about that. I tried puttin’ my usual powder on top, and it kinda clumped up in places. Maybe you gotta use a special kind of makeup, I don’t know. I’m no makeup artist, like I said before.
Some say you gotta practice puttin’ this stuff on. Use a brush, they say. And there’s videos on this Peter Thomas fella’s website showin’ you how to do it. I ain’t got time for all that fancy stuff. I just slap it on and hope for the best. Maybe that’s why my makeup looks a bit wonky when I use it.
I also heard tell that it ain’t good to use water-based makeup with this stuff, ’cause it won’t last as long. So, I guess you gotta be careful what kinda makeup you’re usin’. Too much fuss for an old lady like me, if you ask me.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ this stuff is a miracle worker. It ain’t gonna make you look twenty years younger. But it does make a difference, at least for a little while. If you got a big event comin’ up, a weddin’ or a party, and you wanna look your best, then this stuff might be worth tryin’. Just don’t expect it to work wonders, and don’t expect it to last forever.
I am 40 myself, and I got these hollows under my eyes, they got that purplish color. And this Peter Thomas cream? It does help a little with that, makes ‘em a little less noticeable. But it don’t make ‘em disappear completely, no sir.
So, would I recommend it? Well, that depends. If you got the money to spare, and you’re lookin’ for a temporary fix, then yeah, I’d say give it a shot. But if you’re on a tight budget, or if you’re expectin’ a miracle, then you might be disappointed. It’s a decent product, does what it says it’s gonna do, but it ain’t nothin’ to write home about, ya know?
It is what it is: a temporary face tightener. And if that’s all you’re lookin’ for, then you might just like it. Just remember, it’s temporary! Don’t be fooled into thinkin’ it’s gonna solve all your wrinkle problems. Ain’t no cream gonna do that, I tell ya.
And that’s the truth, plain and simple. From a woman who’s seen it all and tried just about everything.
