I received my 6 bottle order the very next day I placed my order,which was exactly as described. I have been using for a week now and I can not believe what I I am seeing, I was a little sceptical I have to admit, but my skin is softer smoother and some of the finer lines are filling somehow.
It is amazing and not a sales pitch.
Thank you for this amazing product.
It does exactly what Melissa says it does.
Five stars all the way.😊

Dear Anon,


Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear that you haven’t noticed the results you were hoping for after three months of use. Skincare can work differently for everyone, and sometimes results take time to appear.

We’d like to help and make sure you’re supported with your order. Please could you reach out to our customer support team via email with your order details so they can assist you further and discuss possible options?

We really appreciate your feedback and hope we can help improve your experience.

So far so good!

Delivery was super fast and the product really works. It’s only a matter of days but my skin feels smoother and more hydrated and fine lines appear to be less noticeable. With longer term I’m hoping for more youthful looking skin.

I bought 9 bottles of the cream and began using it straight away. I found it to be very sticky and not so easy to spread without stretching my skin. I persevered but I wasn’t happy with the feel of it on my skin- especially the stickiness. There was also a strange scent which I disliked. Thinking it was just my skin type that was the problem I gave a bottle to a friend to try and she said she found much the same and didn’t want to use it either. So as far as I was concerned it was a total waste of money…

Dear Nora,


Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that the texture and scent of the cream didn’t meet your expectations, especially after purchasing multiple bottles.

Skincare can respond very differently depending on individual skin types and application preferences, and we understand how disappointing it is when a product isn’t the right fit for you or your friend. This certainly isn’t the experience we want for our customers.

We’d really like the opportunity to look into this further and help make things right. Please could you email our customer service team directly, including your order details, so they can assist you personally and discuss possible next steps.

Thank you again for your feedback — it’s invaluable in helping us improve.

I have used the firm and restore every dsy


I have used the firm and restore every morning since I received and I don’t know if it’s wishful thinking or what, but I swear my complexion seems brighter, my skin smoother and more radiant, I’m hoping it is the day cream and I am looking forward to seeing what it does for my skin after a few weeks of use.

Misleading advert…

I ordered what I thought was one bottle of their serum. The following month I received another bottle which I did not want. When I checked the advert it said order 6 bottles go to cart, order 3 bottles go to cart order 1 bottle subscribe. Totally my own fault, because I was in a hurry, I assumed it was just for the one bottle but I found I had subscribed to one a month.i found their advertising very long and misleading. Didn’t think much of their serum and definitely won’t be ordering again. I hope no one else gets caught.

No thanks

I almost made a purchase, but was so turned off by the prompt phone call from the "call center" trying to offer a new customer deal with an additional 10% off, then waivered when I decided against purchasing and she dug for a different amount I could save. When I said I was uninterested I hung up, but was still looking at the site. The same person called me back to entice me with a further discount to buy the product, butit was the same as the the first. It felt too "scamy" and turned me off. Not going to buy it, it is a ridiculous sales approach. Not sure this was going to be any better of moisturizing cream than any other I've tried. If it sounds too good to be true.....

Only used this cream for a couple days and it appears my skin looks hydrated and some what smoother. There appears to be a difference in it's texture but I will keep using it and wait for the difference to be visible with my wrinkles.

Dear Chris,


Thank you for sharing your first impressions. We’re really pleased to hear your skin already feels more hydrated and smoother after just a few days of use. Changes in texture are often one of the first things people notice, and with continued, consistent use many customers begin to see more visible improvements over time.

Goods delivered quickly as described

Goods delivered quickly as described, product is nice to use. It is not greasy and sinks into the skin quickly. It does not have a strong perfume smell as some products do. I am very happy with it but have to wait a bit longer to see the facial improvement.

Dreadful ordering system

I really like the firm and restore moisturiser and whilst I don’t think that it has made me look particularly different compared to other moisturisers that I have used, it doesn’t irritate my skin. I have oily skin with very open pores so any product that I use tends to block my pores - this is no different.
I really dislike the ordering process - I don’t want a subscription nor a high pressure selling video that tries to make me buy multiple units by saying that stocks are low which is a blatant lie. This needs to be sorted out!!

Thank you for taking the time to share such honest and detailed feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that the Firm and Restore Moisturiser works well for your skin and doesn’t cause irritation, especially given how challenging oily skin and open pores can be.

We also genuinely appreciate your comments about the ordering process. We understand how frustrating a subscription model or sales-focused messaging can feel, and your feedback has been noted and shared with our team. Improving transparency and ensuring a more comfortable, pressure-free purchasing experience is something we take seriously.

Thank you again for giving the product a try and for helping us improve. If you ever wish to share further feedback or need support, our customer service team is always happy to help.

Smoother complexion

I received a quick delivery of my Firm and Restore Formula and began using it the next day. I found the formula smooth to the touch and massages into my skin really well. After a few days, I’ve noticed a glow in my complexion and my skin is smoother. I am looking forward to continued improvement and reduction in my wrinkles. So far I am very pleased with my purchase.
