Rating
Adverse Effects

Benefits
Seemed to actually have a temporary tightening effect on skin.

Drawbacks
red, irritated skin. dehydrated, pruney skin

Details
This is a knock-off of Dr. Perricone's really expesive products. The ingredients are the same so I would expect similar results. I loved this product at first. It really seemed to tighten everything temporarily, and there seemed to be a cumulative effect, as well. But after about a month of regular use I got a picture back and my face looked red, irritated--almost raw. Them I looked in the mirror at my eyes and Under my eyes was so dehydrated. The lines were back, but worse. I thought the ingredients it this product were anti-inflamitory not pro-inflamitory. I wonder if using it every other or third day would be beneficial, but honestly I'm afraid to try it. What if I'm aging myself more by using it.

Conclusions
Make your own skin care without all the nasty inactive ingredients.
