Athena is ok but I had much better results from Chemlift. It really gave my face a lift and got rid of my wrinkles. Nothing else has ever worked this good.
Sounds like a crappy product. Actually I stretched my skin doing facial exercises today but that's a different story. Have you tried retin-a? (tretinoin) or a vitamin C serum?I've tried this 'potion' and no matter how many times I applied it, or the beautician who sold it to me did, one thing was clear, the skin looks great until you actually speak, smile or make any facial expression. Then the wrinkles actually look worse. The bottom line with these type of products is that they actually 'set' on top of the skin as a type of mask making the skin appear tightened. My concern with this would be it can't be good long term. Imagine if you pulled the skin on your face each day either side of your ears to appear lifted. After a period of time what you are effectively doing is stretching your skin....not the most conducive way to help us look younger is it? I am yet to find a cream or product that actually does make me look younger and I have tried and researched so many of them I could probably mix them all together and come up with an answer lol!
Wow! doesn't sound like a product to me! To not be able to speak or smile.....not for me! There are actually a lot of great products out there you just have to find what works for you. I use a lot of different products, but Vit C serum and Retin-A are 2 of my favorites.I've tried this 'potion' and no matter how many times I applied it, or the beautician who sold it to me did, one thing was clear, the skin looks great until you actually speak, smile or make any facial expression.

Hello- well Im in the US, California to be exact. I use Retin-A every other night, if I get broken capilliaries from this, I would not be a happy camper.Hi Gymrat and Periwinkle
Thanks for the welcome and the info. You are absolutely right, true vitamin A and L-ascorbic vitamin C does give results if the strength is high enough in a product. Back in my 30's (oh, to be back there!) I used Ultraceuticals Ultra C Facial Cream 23% and I did 'glow' during that period of time. My problem now is that I have, over the years, become sensitive to many of them for some unknown reason, most likely hormones. I've also used prescription Retin-A and although it made my skin smoother and more plumped, it also caused burst capilliaries. I don't know which country you girls are from but down here in Australia, anything we get is so mild due to TGA regulations, that it is a total waste of money. Yesterday I ordered a product from USA called Skinlanstin as it boasts proof. Look it up and see what you think. I'd also love to hear from anyone who has had Radiesse dermal filler as I am considering it but have read many mixed reviews. Thanks.![]()
