"First — the price!" began a former skeptic. "I've tried products that cost three to four times as much that haven't really done anything. Second — the results! I started using it on my eyes, and within a week the little lines began to lessen and the dark circles lightened. Then I used it on my laugh lines and lips, and then on my neck and I've seen an improvement in all of those areas as well."

"I've been using the gel in the evening after I shower," shared an impressed reviewer. "I have noticed that my thighs, arms and neck look much more firm than they did two months ago.
