@ Feurkatz. please do not bother with this. I too wanted to eliminate sag but this is NOT, by any means, in any way, the answer! It does NOT work....not immediately, not ever also. If you want something temporary maybe look for caffeine containing creams, or what is called "lifting" creams, which aren't that great either but certainly a whole lot better than this. Then, put the cream on with a wrap purchased from a local drugstore that is used for ankles -- the material is actually better than the Lus one for skin anyway. But honestly, it's silly of anyone to think this mask would work, and I can tell you for sure it did not on me or anyone! @ Feurkatz. please do not bother with this.

It didn't work for me. I saw no difference. I actually started doing face and neck exercises and have seen real improvement! YouTube has great free videos.

Always use a weaker strength and wait a month. Everyones skin is different. Don't be in a rush. Watch skin videos on youtube to give you tips. The secret to using these "acids", is to keep your skin moisturized after. If you do this the skin will peel faster. If it is not, then consider a different acid strength. Always test on a small area off to the side under clothing. I happen to like this company and the quality of their product. I would get it again. It only takes a little bit so my bottles of different strengths are lasting. Good Luck.

I don't know how much anything can really help with sagging skin, but as a woman of 63 I can state that my skin is softer and smoother since I've been using this product. Most people are really surprised at my age and that's a great compliment. It can certainly minimize the appearance of wrinkles, but I didn't have deep wrinkles. I read some of the comments on the Dr. Lark website and it seems people have had a variety of positive experiences, which is why I originally ordered this. I have never regretted it.

No, wait like the last comment said and do research on why you have to wait the 4 to 6 weeks. You aren't giving your skin the chance to heal and build the collagen to improve, you may in turn be damaging your skin. Research first

I do 100 exercises every night and what I see in youtube is work for cheeks, face contour and neck. Where is the marionette lines? I suggest you to see videos in youtube, that help me a lot. Any other question feel free to ask. It will be my pleasure to help you

I use Vivite firming daily lotion daily on my stomach & buttocks. One bottle lasts about 7-8 weeks.

By the way, I'm 40 with pretty decent skin (age-wise). Most people think I'm 30. My problem was hydration. So my esthetician, recommended Vital C instead. I prefer that as well.

Carol, I 've been using Volu-firm for about a year. It didn't dry my skin at all. I love the product, im not sure of the age, but im 54! hope this helps you.

I don't know about that.. My abs have not been firm since I had 3 kids and 3 & 3c-sections...but I have definitely seen a difference on my skin overall..

I don't know. Each person is different. This might work great for some people, but I felt like it just sat on my skin and didn't really absorb. From my perspective it sat in the wrinkles too. I am 45 with very fair skin. I used the product for about two weeks, maybe I didn't give it long enough. I prefer AHA, it makes my skin look brighter and fresher, but doesn't tighten. I didn't find that this product tightened my skin either.

I could agree with that. I started using it years ago after slight wrinkles started to appear and they eventually disappeared or became unnoticeable. Since it keeps them at bay, for me, the moisturizing qualities could help prevent them. Since it's quite affordable, it's worth trying. Also consider coconut oil.

I found mine to have the same firmness. The best advice I can give is to force yourself to try it for about 3 nights. You will either love it or hate it. Just take comfort in the return policy!

I have not noticed firming aspect for aging skin. but lotion is good for daily use.

Yes, my chin was starting to recede and push down another fold of skin, and these exercises have brought my chin back out -- I don't know the anatomy, but my theory is that by firming up a muscle behind the chin they push it forward and stop flesh sagging behind it.

I'm 66 also and my skin tends to be dry. I like restore and renew but I have not tried the intense. I find that my skin is softer and lines are less pronounced than before I switched to Boots.

I'm 28 and have been using it for a few weeks. Personally, I think the sooner you start using it, the better. It's done wonderful things for my skin!

Good point, Reina. The first time I bought it was for the price and its light consistency. I did not expect the collagen and elastin to improve the sagginess of my skin. I use a strong retinol at night and some antioxidant creams during the day - all of them much more expensive. The St. Ives is just a great product to keep your skin moisturized without feeling greasy and is non-comedogenic.
