If you can figure out the Peter Thomas Roth it’s awesome. I apply ALL my makeup on and then gently remove my under eyes. Apply the teeniest amount with a small brush. Once dry I buff away any residue. Definitely a learning curve but my husband accused me of having Botox done. I,don’t ever leave home without it.
Bingo. I do the same. All makeup on and let it set well,30 minutes or so. Then a thin, thin layer of PTR and 20 years leave my baggy eyes. I get lots of compliments. Miracle for me.
Do you think it is possible to buff with a brush or sponge the residue away ?
I just got mine in the mail and I cannot believe how great it works!! The Peter Roth one. I didn't think it would but incredible!!!
I'm glad that worked for you,,I bought Celyn that no work
Try to learn facial exercises specially by Carol Maggio.
I’ve spent money on eye creams, eyelid strips, etc but eventually decided to have upper eyelid surgery. It gave me amazing results and I recommend it to anyone in our age group.
Really glad it worked out for you. It’s tempting, I must admit!
Hi Claire, I’m from Glasgow. Can hear a Scottish accent from you… If you’re ever tempted, the surgeon is Margaret Strick from BMI and I swear, it’s a miracle procedure and very affordable 😂. Just discovered your channel. I enjoy your content very much!
@@qw1205 I’m just along the road in Edinburgh! Good to have a recommendation for the surgery - thanks. So glad you’re enjoying the channel 😊
Hi Claire, another great review. Thank you 😊
@@lornamclellan1492 Thanks Lorna! Glad you enjoyed it.
What I’ve been trying that I’m actually excited about: I’ve cut out sugar, processed foods and alcohol and began running 🏃♀️ and weightlifting 🏋️♀️. I’m not only looking ten years younger but I’m feeling fantastic!
That's fantastic, Susan! Congratulations.
Can't tell you how refreshing your honesty is. Thank you for doing this research on our behalf.
Really appreciate that, Susanna. And I'm so glad you find the reviews helpful!
Amen to that. Hehehe
I love your channel and really appreciate your honest reviews.
I bought the PTR product, tried it a few times, then threw it into a drawer as it didn't work.
A year or so later I saw a TH-cam review from a woman who had success applying it with a cotton bud (Q tip). I couldn't imagine a cotton bud working when my fingertip didn't, but I tried it, and it did.
I use about a half a pea size amount for each under eye, applying it to clean, dry skin, gently moving the cotton bud back and forth. If I don't use enough for it to feel wet when applying it, it doesn't work. I then tap it with my fingertips, blend the edges, then fan it with my hand or blow dry it with cool air. Drying it quickly seems to be the key. My under eye bags totally disappear and the effect lasts all day.
I haven't tried mixing it with makeup. It works over makeup, but not as well, and it doesn't last anywhere near as long. Applying makeup over the top doesn't work, at least not for me.
I once tried it on my upper eyelids and saw no change.
The application can still be a bit hit or miss for me, but when it works, it does so extremely well.
This is so helpful, thanks! So pleased you enjoy the channel 😊
The PTR Treatment is for bags and swags UNDER the eyes!
The demonstrator does not have this fault, therefore, it cannot correct what does not need correction.
I state very clearly that this likely works better on under eye bags and that there are positive reviews on Amazon from people who say it works for that - BUT, it is marketed as an instant eye tightener, not an instant under-eye tightener. The packaging reads: "instantly tightens, firms and smoothes the appearance of crow's feet, fine lines and deep wrinkles around the eye area", therefore it's not unreasonable to expect it to do just that.
I laughed out loud at each try, especially the strips, not because of you, but because I have also fallen for such stuff over and over ! You did not disappoint in your conclusion - reset of prospective! Thank you for being the willing fool on camera like the rest of us are in the privecy of our bathrooms!
Always happy to be the willing fool! : )
I love your comments about avoiding quick fix products. I have avoided wearing false eyelashes for that very reason-I don’t want to start thinking that I look bad without them. My sister wears them and believes that she is hideous without them, but she is legitimately a lovely woman without makeup.
Thanks Michelle. It’s so true that when we start adding in daily props we think we need them to look okay.
I’m on my second tube for me this works and knocks out my eye bags and really happy
She didn’t apply it correctly which lead to her results
I have hooded eyes (one more pronounced than the other), which for years now I haven’t particularly liked. But of course, I’m aware that I’m certainly not the only one … so what made a huge difference for me was when I looked online at all the absolutely gorgeous Hollywood actresses and models from both years gone by, as well as today, who have them also. When you really think about it, it’s kind of nice to have a different look rather than the cookie-cutter beauty thrown at us daily. Btw, just discovered your channel and really like it. I've subscribed.
Great to have you as a subscriber! I agree with you about embracing the hooded eyelids. I like to tackle the sagging and lines but I don’t actually mind the hoods themselves - if that makes sense. Microcurrent and tretinoin have made a big difference for me.
@@thehonestchannel Thanks!
I tried the strips when I eventually mastered the technique and wore them out one curled at the edge and I didn't know you can imagine when I got home and looked in the mirror....... was like a scene from death becomes her!!!!
😂 I can imagine. It’s not good for the self esteem when you’re held together with glues and tape! Best avoided I think.
Lol
Thank you! Very informative. I’d seen the ads for the strips and wondered how well they work.
Glad you found it helpful Denise.
I have noticeable bags under eyes and they are gone after using PTR product. You hardly have any and I use a brush to apply
Yes, I do make the point in the video that these appear to be more effective on under-eye bags and that it is a highly rated product - it just doesn’t help upper lids. Glad it works for you.
It didn't work for me either and I used a very small amount with a brush as per the directions. NOTHING happened except that I got that white film. I tried it several ways, using more or less product. Nothing happened. I was very disappointed.
@@lifespanwellnessbeauty-60i64 So many products confidently declare skin lifting results and don’t deliver 😡 Sorry this didn’t work out for you either. Love that you see 60 as the new 40! 💕
Such a good video! I love your honesty.
I ended up seeing a plastic surgeon about lifting my lids and it actually is not too expensive here in the US. You are awake for the procedure and you go home the same day. $1200 US total. I was expecting it to be way more expensive! I have not decided what to do yet but it is an option.
I have a couple of friends here who have had this procedure and it’s slightly more expensive in the UK, but you can also go home same day. It’s the downtime and bruising that puts me off - but it is very tempting!
I totally get it. My doctor said the bruising is horrible. Looks like you have two black eyes. I think the only restrictions she said were no lifting or bending over for a week. I will definitely let you know if I get it done. I might wait til it worsens a little so it is more noticeable and worth the money. It does not have any effect on my vision at this time so I am probably okay for now.
@@Joannabanana1989 Keep me posted if you do go for it : )
I also had upper eye lift procedure back when I lived in the States. Almost no bruising, same day procedure, back to work in 5 days!
@@americangirl4410 That’s amazing. Bet you’re so glad you had that done.
Your face looks great already, you don't need the Peter Roth,
I use it and it works wonderfully for me
I'm over 55
I love the results, I'm sold.
Residue no big deal"
Rinse gently pat dry and it last all day.🌻
I love Peter Roth products 😍 ❤️
Thank you - and that's great to hear your experience.
I use the Peter Thomas Roth for special occasions or a night out and it work’s AMAZING. I actually have to be cautious that I don’t lift and hold my face too much. I can understand the top lids being more of a challenge but I will say that less is more with this product. When I purchased it I was told to use very very little. A pea size even is a huge amount when using this product. I can’t imagine how that much felt on your face. Im sure you have tried it all different ways by now though but just a thought. I keep it on hand and any product that makes a woman be able to go out and feel beautiful and confident is a win in my book ♥️
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Where did you purchase yours? I've heard there are imitation brands out there.
I'd like to try it but, I'm afraid of wasting my money...I've done it so many before and got let down. 😢 please share ..thanks. 😊
@@Bmack9294 Hi. I bought mine from Amazon (with Amazon the direct seller). If you buy from a reputable retailer it’s highly unlikely you’d receive a fake but you would also be entitled to a refund.
Have you thought of using a ring light for filming? It would remove the shadows so that there would a better view how these products work.
Hi Shawna. I had a ring light over my phone but I was at a bad angle. My apologies. It’s noted for next time.
Same thought. With such heavy shadow cast, it's really difficult for anyone to compare clearly, demonstrator included 😅
@@glaychin5031 Yes, someone else flagged the lighting on this. I need to be more careful in future. That said, I used all these products several times before filming so feel confident I’ve shared my experience fairly and accurately
@@thehonestchannel Don't use a light a above you 🙂
Wow im 44 and im exploring this world of lifters and smoothers . This is a great review
Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you, I did not see any results from PTR either. I haven’t tried the Ren. Thanks for the reviews!
Good to know it wasn’t just me! Thanks for watching : )
REN is not a miracle worker like PTR seemed to be for that Tik Tok user but it does help the under eye area , I have tried it and was thinking I am imagining it but then I saw this video n realised I missed the train 😅
I have used the $200.00 Dior 24k found in the mall kiosk that was with a discount. IT WORKS!!! BUT...the sales person said if you use too much you will have a white residue. The Peter Thomas Roth seems to do the same thing at a fraction of the cost. 🤷♀️
My problem with this and other products like it, is that once you use it, when you put the make up is back to bags under the eyes.
Can’t fix what you don’t have
Exactly. The PTR doesn't work unless you have really big undereye bags with thin skin. It did absolutely NOTHING for me. I returned it to Ulta.
Peter Thomas Roth is like a a Elmer's glue and it does work... you didn't apply it correctly
I am new here, thank you for your honest review! I agree with you....at 53 years old I am finding that the best beauty tip is truly take care of yourself, embrace maturity and be comfortable with who you are, it will speak loud them your minor outside flaws and people can find you more interesting as a person, just my opinion.
I used it. Was ok. I'm old school so went back to my egg whites :-)
I bought the PTR from Amazon.. I am going to be 60 soon and do have lower bags... I did have upper and lower bleph in 2007.. wow.. great procedure.. took my look back 10 years.. it lasted about 10 to 12 years... I would do it again if I could afford it... Under anesthesia. Its about $10k here in the US... I definitely will check into having it done by local anesthesia for a lot less expensive...
In the meantime the Peter Thomas Roth product actually showed significant results for the under eye area... but you have to be careful and not get it too close to the lower lash line because as it tightens the skin it actually pulls down and had pulled my lid away from my eyeball which I quickly remedied by taking a q-tip and getting it wet and just wiping the product off in that particular area and then my eyelid went back up against my eyeball.. lol.
I also tried it on upper skin right below the eyebrows but it pulled the eyebrows down so I just quickly removed it with a washcloth... I did see the white residue and the biggest problem is going to put makeup on in any makeup or concealers that have water in them will shorten the time of how long the product will work for you.. my skin is dry around my eyes so I do need some type of moisture so this doesn't really work out for me and I will be returning it.
Thanks for sharing your experience Stacey 👍
It specifically good for deep wrinkles under the eyes. If you don't have them it won't work!
The woman who did my filler gave me some of the strips. I completely forgot I had them on since I couldn’t feel them, but my bf noticed. It was embarrassing, so I don’t wear them anymore. For a photo shoot it would be ideal tho.
Oops! Yes, they’d be good for having pics taken.
Personally, I don't think you are seeing results because you look pretty good anyway. Your wrinkles or puffiness under the eyes is hardly noticeable to begin with. You need to do this again in 20 years.
Thank you. In 20 years I’ll be 70!
I wear this product and it works for me on my bags and it does tighten and lift my saggy upper lids. I think you didn’t apply it right. You have to gently rub it on and take a fan to speed up drying. Patting it has a different effect than rubbing/gently spreading it on.
doing a lymphatic massage helps as well as upper eye exercises, we've facial muscles just like your body.
Thanks Karlene 👍
I use true match mineral dry foundation
I believe the secret to making the Peter Thomas Roth product work is not to rub it all over your face, but to apply a very small amount topically, to the wrinkle you are trying to fill. It's a precision job, not a quick get-it-over-and-done-with treatment. Also, the eyelid strips should be applied to the outer edges of your eyes, not the middle.
Good tips. I was just following the instructions with both.
Could you use makeup on top of it..?
You're not getting results from PTR because you are not applying it correctly.
Absolutely! And you're not supposed to put on eyelids .
I had an Asian fried that used to cut scotch tape pieces and put on her lid to give her a fold on her upper lid
I find with all these tightening creams end up drying my eyes out and accentuating fine lines. I tried the Dr Brandt under eye No Baggage cream - avoid this, I don't reccommend. PTR is better but still leaves my eyes too dry
Thanks for sharing your experience.
perricone eyelid lift serum is quiet decent but not a miracle. After a few weeks of use i do see a slight improvement on my 50* eyelids.
Interesting. Just had a look and see it includes squalane, hyaluronic acid and amino acids. It’s got the potential to really hydrate your skin which will help give your lids a slight lift. Got to say, tretinoin is the very best thing I’ve tried for eyelid rejuvenation.
@@thehonestchannel I did not know you can put tretinoin on your eyelids, i thought it was too strong but will give it a try. Thanks! And you look beautiful by the way🥰
@@bokhorstp You should keep it away from
your eyes so I just use it very sparingly on my upper lids and it has been very effective. I’ll share a link to a video I did on it
@@bokhorstp th-cam.com/video/7WI3MdkGWEc/w-d-xo.html
Very nicely done. First time watching your videos and I stuck with it through the end. As man, I’m not using makeup (not that there’s anything wrong with that, LOL), so having a residue leftover wouldn’t work for me. I just needing a little lift to the lids. It’s makes such a huge difference, not looking tired. I’ll keep searching, and you saved me a lot of time and money. 😘
U really dun have eye bags tho. U should of gotten a person with eye bags to try all products . 🤣🤣😍
I think it depends on the type of eyebags you have ig. Fat vs swollen is two different problems. I've tried PTR, Dr. Brant No baggage and the residue shows, or it fails after a few hours.😮 If you're skin is medium to deeper it looks like reverse panda. It will also cause the aging skin that isn't treated or applied to gather up. I have tried other eye tighters that work better but your eyes feel dry and itchy, and sore after use.
Watching this I didn't see why you'd need anything. Your skin looks great.
Thanks Laki. I’m always looking for ways to tighten my upper lids. There doesn’t seem to be a magic potion yet though!
Those 'magic' stickers seem amazing to create a more prominent double eyelid. And how interesting that they hardly can be seen. I wonder if they can be seen at certain angle under certain lighting though. It feels kind of insecure to be wearing them indeed. Also since eyelid skin is already not youthful as younger women, manipulating that area, tugging, stretching, pulling the stickers off etc will not help make the skin younger.
I was surprised by how well they blend in but in certain lights and angles it might be possible to for others to notice them. My eyes are so hooded that it caused the skin to fold over them so that would be less of an issue but I felt overall that I would be self-conscious wearing them and they gave me a bit of an odd look
On a whim I put PTR on my sagging jowls. It worked!😊
Thank you! I appreciate ur videos! Very informative. Did you find anything for upper eyelid tightening?
Glad you're finding them helpful. I'll do a video dedicated to the different things I use on my eyelids because I think the slight lift I've got is not down to any one treatment or product. This is my most recent review of an eyelid device which you may find helpful th-cam.com/video/rjcH42rjc6I/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for reviewing, I don't think I will try them now. )
I’d rather have a slight bite residue than aging wrinkles!
Ha! That’s definitely one way to look at it 😀
I find that PTR works amazing for the under eye area for tightening loose skin or for bags, you have neither. My issue is it seems to irritate my skin under my eyes if used to much, so it will have to be used for special occasions, which is disappointing. LOL, I see my review went under my husbands account. But this review is coming from a woman.
Thanks for sharing your experience. It does seem to work better for under eyes.
These left my 64 year old undereye dry as a bone. There was liquid in jar but I've never had eye patches (and most were much cheaper) leave my skin without any liquid to rub in. I don't know if I got a bad batch or they are made for younger women.
If you view their website, they say not to put it on your upper eyelid
It works best for bags under your eyes. Which you don't really have.
Ulta in USA it's 24 USD
I have developed a significant puffiness under my left eye. I have tried lots of products and found Westmoreland Beauty’s under eye tinted product works well. I don’t think you can use it on your eyelid, though.
Thanks for sharing!!
Bought the Phillip Roth product because of that tiktok lady. It really does remove the eyebags, however! a big however, here - it disappears if you but move or touch your eyebags just a wee bit. It's like when one applies egg white to the skin, it stretches the skin but gets 'peeled' away, and the whitish stuff is so annoying - as, if you do try to get rid of the whitish-sand-ey residue, the bags sag back again.
I mix it w/ make up a bit but then the results are only like 1/4 noticeable. All in all - 2/5. My hopes were dashed to pieces.
Sorry to hear that. I was disappointed too.
Why using so many fingers to pat it in. 😡
It says not to use eye, cream or moisturizers. That’s tough, because I like to moisturize my face. Before putting any product on.
Same.
I use PTR with excellent success after moisturizing heavily and then adding concealer and makeup. The key is to let it all sink in and absorb. Wait 30 minutes. Then put a very light amount of PTR on. It works. I apply the PTR the last thing before walking out the door.
PTR does not leave a white residue
She said if your worried about white residue with this product it does not leave a residue
I’m wondering if this helps under. I have it the Peter one I see it works but the amount I need it leaves white under my eye. Uggg
I do think it likely works better for under eye bags but, yeah, the residue is annoying
The strips work really well, just a pain to get them even
You don't see a difference bc you don't have a single puff or wrinkle to start with, literally perfect skin.
I saw all the video so I bought the Peter Thomas Roth firmx eye product. When I first tried it I thought it was the best thing ever. But as I used it more I notice it wasn't working as well I don't know if as you get further down the bottle it doesn't work I was getting more residue and not enough firming
Thanks for sharing your experience
Why would you skip over when you actually apply it?$!! 😩
You're putting the peter roth on the wrong way. You're supposed to smear a very thin layer on then let it dry without moving your face. Dont pat it on
Hi! I think you’re 2 young for both products!!! Your face, I mean a skin looks great!
Thank you! Turning 50 soon so that’s lovely to hear 😊
Hi !could you review the Rio 60-Second
Fibroblasting upper eyes work-i do it.
Thanks for the tip. I had a few Tixel sessions a few years back which is similar. It helped a bit.
You're suppose to use with moisturizer
You didn't apply it (PRT) right. Just sayin'
Does crap do not work I got some 😢😢
I love your content. It would be helpful if you had much better lighting.
I agree the lighting wasn’t great on this one. I have learned since.
Do you have a video review on potent lift? Or serious skin insta tox?
I don’t I’m afraid
I actually think it looks worse with those strips.
Definitely the strips you’ve done were not done in the right spot lol - and the Roth cream I’d think you’d have to put it on the hooded area well.
If this product actually worked the way it says it does, it would cost hundreds of pounds. Truth is, it's rubbish. 2 egg whites applied with a pastry brush would give better results. 😂
😂
Omg just have an upper blephroplasty and spare yourself all the “test-driving”
😂 There is that, but I have convinced myself I can do it without going under the knife.
@@thehonestchannel okay i had it done after a lot of considering the negative but it’s truly worth the while.
No creams can do what a surgeon can 💯
@@clerouxbotha2784 That’s true! Glad it worked out for you.
You put it in the wrong spot
How to buy this product from India??
I don't know about suppliers in India, sorry. Usually something would come up locally with a Google search if options are available.
Ok..thank u
No difference with the eyelid ap
Stop tapping and patting PTR, you massage it to the skin.
I saw an immediate difference in your face the wrinkles aren't there
You don't have many wrinkles
Thanks Elizabeth. I turn 50 soon so that’s good to hear 👍
your dropping eyelids overshadowed the eye bags
Haha. Harsh but fair.
Your a beautiful lady...thanks for the reviews..
Thank you! 😊
You got no proper bags tho ?
I was hoping for a lift to my upper lids.
Good honest reviews 15:50
It looks like you'd benefit from a non surgical blepharoplasty
I just wear sunglasses. Problem solved.
😳
This is trash should cost $5 not even that taking people money just sad never again
you are beautiful!
Thank you 😊
I have a few very fine lines I thought the product was genuine but unfortunately it is not It is a scam with fake reviewers and very carefully edited videos Do not fool for the scam.
