Customers say
Customers find the primer to be of good quality and appreciate that it doesn’t leave white residue. However, the functionality and skin tightening effects receive mixed feedback – while some report amazing results, others say it doesn’t work as advertised and doesn’t tighten skin effectively. Moreover, the product is criticized for being too expensive for its size, cracking after a few hours, and being very drying on the face. Opinions on wrinkle reduction are divided, with some saying it makes wrinkles less visible while others report no improvement.

Do not let the snake oil saleswomen, fool you!
I am so tired of influencers. They are selling products whether or not they like it. This product does NOT work. I have followed the instructions, I have watched many videos on tips and tricks.. This stuff is an absolute waste of money.. Iâm giving it five stars so that Amazon doesnât bury my honest review. I think we have the right to know whether or not something actually works.. and this, my friends, does not!! Itâs merely Christmas time and influencers are out in full force hustling for that money.

Donât waste your money
I donât think this works anything close to what the advertisements show. First, no where did I see in the description that this was a âmatteâ finish product. (See the box I received.) So I ordered some from another source and it was matte as well. I would never knowingly purchase a matte primer for my 57 year old skin as it makes your wrinkles more defined! And second, there was no protective seal on the bottle opening so I have no idea if this was a previous return or what as the other bottle I purchased from the other source did have a seal. The bottle seemed full but there was NO seal on it. As far as helping with wrinkles, I didnât notice ANYTHING. The videos show major changes and lasting for hours. My wrinkles arenât that bad, but I expected to notice something. But nope. NOTHING. I tried it a couple of times. Even put on one side of my face but not the other and just let it dry all evening to make sure I was allowing it to dry properly and I did not feel hardly any tightening and could not see any difference. I also feel like bc of the matte finish it just made my wrinkles stand out more! My photos show what I received. However the last picture is what the description shows ânowâ. That was not there when I bought it. I went back and checked as soon as I received it to see if I missed something and nope. It did NOT say matte finish anywhere in any photos or description at that time (that I could see anyway) like the box I received that clearly states matte finish. This has since been updated here. So Iâm guessing that this has been a complaint from others and/or they now have this new option (Hydrated Glowing Finish). Just out of curiosity I also got the one in the black tube and same thing. No noticeable difference between before and after. For me, neither were worth the price and I personally do not recommend either PTR face tightening product.

Half empty
Product works good. BUT the tube was half empty. So it was like I purchased a sample for full price. Its like when you buy a bag of chips and its all air.

Give this a try
A lot of people donât rate this well; but I donât think they are being fair.What this is, is a topical temporary tightening cream.What this is not, is a miracle.So I donât know what yall expect here. I am 57 and do not use any other cosmetics so I canât speak to that. But if you can dab a little bit of the same brand tightener into this product you will have a nice tight face and neck. It wears well most of the day for me at work.I quick set it with my blow dryer on cool and if I get my mixture right I am tight through lunch. Your facial movement and humidity outside will play a role in the length of time until you start to loosen up. But I love it. I am a user of wrinkle relaxer injections and I do that far less because this product makes up the difference.

WOW
Surprisingly, I must say, this product actually works! The product was delivered on 8/4, so Iâve only been using it a couple of days. Unfortunately I forgot to do before and after pics, but the difference of before and after is astounding. My eyes seem brighter and my face a little younger and thinner. Whether it actually is or not, I donât know. But whatever it is, I will take it. Thereâs only slight critique in my opinion. I am going to assume this the newer version (maybe not). As a POC, it does leave a thin white layer on my skin. Though it is easily remedied. I place PTR tightener on first, then place a little facial cream/moisturizer on afterwards. Problem solved. I mentioned this because many of the videos I reviewed, mentioned that the newer version does not leave the film. And that probably is true, if you are not a POC. Otherwise it does what it says and I love it. I think the price is fair. Iâve paid more for products that didnât work nearly as well as this product does.

HORRIBLE
This product is not as described. It seems to be designed more for visual appeal than practical use on the face. While it does create a temporary tightening effect, it does so by leaving a white, chalky film on the surface of your skin thatâs meant to blur imperfectionsâbut thatâs where the benefits end. You can’t apply anything on top of itâno makeup, moisturizer, or serumsâbecause they disrupt the film and cause it to wipe off completely. Facial expressions? Forget it. The product cracks or loses effectiveness the moment you move your face.I’ve experimented with it in countless ways: applying it before and after serums, mixing it with moisturizers or makeup, and nothing works. In fact, combining it with other products releases a strong, ammonia-like smell thatâs irritating and burns the nostrils.Unless you’re okay with walking around with a stiff, expressionless face covered in a white film, I do not recommend this product.

Almost perfect
Would be perfect if it lasted longer

Fonctionne bien, resserre la peau comme convenu. Proche de la bouche par contre ça resserre les lèvres comme si j’en avait plus. Meilleur pour le contour des yeux. Mais dois mettre un cache en poudre quelques résidu blanc mais pas beaucoup.
Trish Rush –
Not as good as I expected tbh, leaves a powder behind which I didnât expect. a complete waste of money, absolute rubbish. Donât waste your money? Wish I hadnât

I was skeptical, but thought it worth a try.I tested it on one side of my face to see if I could see the difference and it was really noticeable.My face felt a little tighter on that side, but the tightness is not noticeable when applied to the whole face.Now a part of my routine on days where I need to wear makeup

Doesn’t last on the eyes, maybe for an hour or so but then it’s gone
Carolyn o’neill –
This product is so much better than the original white cream which often left a white residue and white specks…this cream is light , fluid and beige…it goes on well and absolutely gets rid of my fine lines and under eye bags and wrinkles under my eyes. It doesn’t leave a residue but it doesn’t last all day
