It made my skin puffy and less elastic. It enlarged my pores as a result.. it took a LONG time (2 months) for this to go away. If i slept on my side, I would wake up with 'crease' marks in my skin that would take hours to go away. This all made certain areas of my face (around my nasal-labial folds) look worse... i.e. made me look like I was getting 'jowels' as I don't have them yet. It DID reduce the lines on my forhead, but all the other effects were much, much worse.
Yes, I returned it.
I do not know what in it caused my skin to react that way. They 'claimed' it was an unusual reaction, and maybe I was sensitive/allergic. Or maybe it has to do with the fact I'm 34 and maybe most of the people who try it have older skin. All I know was, continuing to try to use it for another week was a HUGE mistake for me.
