Does what the name implies...
-06.10.13
Quick Take: firming
I just purchased my second bottle of this. I rarely use the same thing twice as I tend to jump around looking for the proverbial fountain of youth, but this is about as close as I think I've come. I'm in my late 30's and I'm beginning to see loss of firmness. I'm in the early stages of loss of firmness so I'm curious to see how it would perform on someone 20+ years older than I (I may try it on my 72 y.o. mom just to see...).
I use it every morning. Goes on easy, no odor and I have no problems applying products over it. After several months of use my skin is noticeably firmer. Yes...it's crazy expensive, but I'm willing to fork over the dough if the product really works. And it does.

Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing
I started using the growth factor serum 6 weeks ago. I have gotten fantastic results. the deep wrinkles on my forehead and around my mouth that I thought I would have to accept as "aging" have smoothed, and lines are gone. One suggestion I would make- I would like to know the level in the vial before I run out. The packaging does not allow you to see through the label.

I ordered this product because it was given the good housekeeping seal of approval. Must say I am pretty impressed with this product. It has softened my skin and I can see some laugh line minimization. Love it.

skin-smoothing, and thirst-quenching complex.
-03.30.13
This is a fairly good complex. It feels good on the skin, and makes skin feel smooth, and relieves any dryness. But, it is no miracle treatment as there is no such a thing! So, my best rating for the best of the best is still 4 stars, because like I said there is no miracle cream out there ... YET!

I do love PTR products and most important- they do not test on animals and they place this statement on their packaging. The product is nice, a bit overpriced.

Didn't work for me
-12.11.12
I use Perricone, but after reading the reviews I thought maybe I could find something less costly that would work. Well for me it only took a week and I could see it was not working and I went back to Perricone Sub zero for my neck. Actually I use all Perricone and I waa just trying to cut cost somewhere. I really don't think there will be other than neck lift and I am not ready for that period.

FirmX - unwrinkle is better, soften
-02.20.12
Quick Take: soften, some firming
I am 43 yrs old and take very-very good care of my skin. I was using PTR Unwrinkle serum and LOVE IT. I decided to give this a try due to the reviews.
I notices some recent change in the elsaticity in my jowl which is the reason for my purchase. I will say I did notice a difference my skin felt softer and it did "some" firming. Did not firm to the extent that the other readers stated. Please keep in mind I previously used the PTR Unwrinkle serum which does make my skin fill a little frozen and firms fine wrinkles. Unwrikle =kind of a little like botox but not that firm.
This is a good product but not what I expected there is minimal firming and the other users raved that it made big firming changes. I had to go back to the PTR Unwrinkle serum and use this in conjunction with the FIRMx.
I used this product for 30 days, notice softer skin in 1 week, notice some firmness changes in about 2.5 weeks. In order to be fair I waited at least 30 days to see some change in your skin. To me not worth the $150. I am a skin product addict and strive to stop aging hope this helps you. You might try Algenist I tried this and thought I felt firming a lot quicker. :)

Quick Take: dimishes fine lines
This product leaves a heavier film on the skin than I expected but I use it at night so that;s OK. My skin feels and looks glorious in the morning.. Using it under makeup required more power than I'd like to get rid of the shine.

Worth it
-10.11.11
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, tightening
I have been looking for something that really works with older skin, bringing both firming and anti-wrinkles. This does work--I bought it in a kit to sample it and then did go and drop the $150 on it. Use it twice a day and have noticed a big change.

Good for glow
-10.08.11
This product does give my skin a nice healthy glow. The drawback is that it is very greasy and just sits on top of the skin, so better at night. I did not notice any firming but loved the glow!

ineffective
-09.27.11
I tried this over a period of 2-3 three weeks to the extent that my sensitive and reactive skin could tolerate it. Unforutnately I didn't see anything but pimples and after several days of discontinued usage, I noticed my face looking clear again. My concerns were uneven skin tone, lack of radiance, and a deep expression line in my forehead. Maybe I wasn't able to use it long enough to see even the slightest improvement.
I do like PTR products in general but there are defnitely packaging issues across all product lines. They all seem to be cheap, flimsy, and non-functional. I didn't understand the need to package this in a test tube type package that slides into an outer plastic tube. It really seemed excessive. And the turn-lock top that is supposed to keep the pump from dispensing is pretty useless because it's impossible impossible to figure out when it's in the on or off position. I also found the product to be way overpriced although it looks like a little will go along way. I can't recommend this product based on my experience, particularly not to anyone with sensitive skin.

-09.26.11
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines
I have been having good luck with this product. It makes my skin a bit shiny, but I have been using it at night. So, that has not been an issue. After I wash the serum off in the morning, my skin is glowing. It eases the appearance of lines, even those on my forehead, which are well established.
