StriVectin StriVectin® Instant Facial Sculpting Cream™

What it is:An antiaging treatment that tones, smoothes, and lifts skin.What it is formulated to do:Klein-Becker StriVectin(R) Instant Facial Sculpting Cream(TM) addresses the "descent" of the skin and the "deflation" of the face that are associated with aging. This multifunctional cream is scientifically proven to minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, crow's-feet, nasolabial folds, and ear wrinkles both immediately and long-term. It helps to redefine the cheekbones and jaw line, making the face look more youthful and defined. Skin is left looking soft and smooth, and feeling gently tightened.What else you need to know:This advanced formula delivers serious results thanks to natural soy, rye seed, sweet almond, and sarsasapogenin extracts. It helps to improve the support structure of the skin, offsetting the effects of aging, sagging, weight loss, sun damage, and other forms of environmental damage.

Noticeable Results
-02.19.12
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, smoothing
I don't notice a tightening with this product, but more of a smoothing - especially under the eyes and fine lines around the mouth. Within just a couple weeks, also noticed a more even skin tone. Find I just don't need as much concealer as before. I don't find this product to smell strong or bad. It works well for my combo skin, but might not be moisturizing enough for those with dry skin.

It noticably does what is claims to do for me! 5 stars, although the consistency is glumpy, it melts into the skin.

Love this! And it works!
-12.18.11
Quick Take: tightening, defining
I describe myself at times as a Sephora online addict. I love trying different products but when I find something that works I stick with it!
In my late 40's (I recently turned 50) I began to be bothered by those lines that run from the outside of the nose to the outside of the mouth. There's a word for them but you know what I mean. I also wanted to have definition in my cheekbones. Granted, weight control is important to have that defined look but I keep my weight down so that is not a problem.
This product does what it says. Plenty of products tackle those 'fine wrinkles" but that is not my problem. This Strivectin product not only gets rid of those deep laugh lines around the mouth but also gives the definition in my cheekbones that I want. Why pay for plastic surgery when you can buy a product that does the same thing? And I only use it once a day so it lasts a long time. Start using this in your 40's and you won't regret it!

It works!
-11.23.11
Quick Take: tightening, preventative
It has been about 3 weeks since I started using this cream. I apply every morning and evening before moisturizer and it definitely works as it claims. It's a little costly but it is worth the money. I took advantage of 20% off VIB coupon to stock up the second bottle already. The texture of cream is a little weird - like mousse or tofu - so it would be better to use a small spatula. As many of you said, it smells not pleasant - like potato - but it is bearable and the result is great!!!

Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, tightening
Have been using this product for a couple of weeks and am already seeing results. Fine lines are softening and the puffy under eyes are much improved. Would recommend this product for all ages.

Works really well, just can't stand the smell. I won't use it because I'm afraid anyone I'm near would smell it too.

Pretty good
-07.13.11
Okay, I will say first off that the cream is weird. It isn't creamy or pasty, but not smooth either, I feel like I really have to work it in my face. The smell is a little off, too, but not enough not to use it. i don't know what results to expect, though the instant sculpting I have not seen. But my skin looks better overall, without me being able to tell why it does. I would give it 4 stars if not for the weird consistency. Overall, it is a good cream.

I started out using a free sample for a few weeks on the crease lines by my mouth. At first didn't notice anything, but one day it was if they had disappeared. I couldn't believe it!!

Quick Take: tightening, dimishes fine lines
I would like to know how this product works as well as it does. The consistency is glutinous, not creamy. It absorbs rapidly. Small amounts go far. Smell is not pleasant, but its tolerable for the results I saw within days. Even the bags under the eyes tightened up! Magic!

Terrific, age-defying face cream
-03.19.11
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, tightening, preventative
I was a fan of Kinerase for a couple of years, until I tried this face cream ($20 cheaper than its comparable at Kinerase) and found it to be much more effective. I have combination skin, prone to minimal breakouts and also dryness, and have fine lines around my eyes and mouth. This cream is less oily, so I break out less, and it diminished the lines better than my previous cream. Definitely worth a try!

Quick Take: tightening
It absolutely does what it says on the tin. I will definitely be buying this again. Takes a few days for skin to get used to it but after that it does an amazing job. However, not sure how moisturising it is for older skin

Use it twice a day like it says for about 6 months. Notice skin tightening, smaller porous. Smooth skin I will keep using.

Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, tightening, preventative
I had a deluxe sample of this cream. I've been using it for a few days now.. I was really put off by the smell, but the results are amazing - I can tolerate the smell for the results and the smell goes away quickly. Noticed that it reduced the fine lines around my mouth.

I kept hearing so many great things about this, I finally broke down and ordered it. Now I need to return it. I make my skin so dry I was getting dry patches and more wrinkles.

I put a dab of foundation in the cream and then apply with a foundation brush. Feels great and helps the foundation to go on smooth and even. Tightens nicely. I'm 51, love the effects. I will continue to buy this product.

-12.18.10
Quick Take: tightening
I would never have tried this product if not for the generous sample I got from Sephora from one of my orders. The 15 day sample proved to me that this product was worth the expense. I think my skin looks more smooth and firmer. I am 48 and it was starting to show, but this stuff has helped a bit.
