Not right for my skin
I'm pretty sad about this one, especially because of the cost. I'm 34, with decent skin but some of the typical lines starting around the eyes, forehead, lip line, etc. My skin does tend toward oily yet sensitive at times, if that context helps any of you out. A friend of mine all of a sudden looks 10 years younger, beautiful, glowing poreless skin without needing any foundation so I asked her what she was using. This was one of her key products and she said it took about 2 months for the effect to really be noticeable. Unfortunately I can't use it enough to find out. First I tried appplying it around my eyes, on my forehead and above my upper lip. I broke out in really deep cystic acne in those areas after about 4 days. I started relegating the application only to the eye area and even that is now having a horrible reaction. I look like I've got insect bites under my eyes, or like I've been punched out. Yuck. It's gotta be some kind of allergic reaction. It works so beautifully for my friend, I guess I'll be giving it to her to finish.
No better than regular moisturizer
I used Stryvectin religously for two months and one week - more than double the recommended time to get some results - and it has made no more difference to my skin than regular moisturizer. I used it for fine lines on my face and thicker lines on my neck and forehead. To determine if it really worked, I decided to use it experimentally by applying it to the left side of my face only - every day as suggested on the packaging. After all this time, I cannot see the slightest difference between the left side of my face and the right side, and nor can any of my friends. I got better results on my neck when I was using Shiseido neck cream which is a third of the price. I would not buy Stryvectin again.
Fantastic product
I am seeing results after three weeks. I LOVE this stuff!
