Peter Thomas Roth Instant FirmX Overview

People are obsessed with looking young and nature is their worst enemy.  As we age, our skin naturally loses its youthful firmness and begins to sag and wrinkle.  There are hundreds of products on the market that claim to be able to resolve that problem, at least temporarily.  One such product is Peter Thomas Roth Instant FirmX Temporary Face Tightener.  It is said to instantly tighten, smooth, and firm skin, making wrinkles practically disappear and concealing large pores.  The effects allegedly last for several hours. Does it really work or are these just pretty promises?

Peter Thomas Roth Instant FirmX- How it Works

Although Peter Thoma Roth manufactures numerous skin care products, the PTR Instant FirmX has its own official website.  One of its active ingredients is Retinyl Palmitate, which is used to smooth wrinkles and increase elasticity and moisture.  It also contains urea, an ingredient that exfoliates skin and has water-binding properties.  Another key ingredient is carrageenan to lock in moisture.  There are several parabens included in the complete list of ingredients, which is available on the website.

Peter Thomas Roth Instant FirmX is applied to clean, dry skin.  You can use it daily or just for those special occasions when you truly want to look your best.  The directions say to shake well and apply a small amount of Peter Thomas Roth Instant FirmX where you want to disguise any wrinkles.  You are directed to allow the serum to dry, which takes 3-7 minutes, and you’re suppose to remain expressionless during that time.  Next, use a damp cloth or Q-tip to remove any visible white residue.  You may feel your skin tightening or tingling during the process.

Unfortunately, many consumer reviews of Peter Thomas Roth Instant FirmX complain that they struggled to get the product to work correctly.  Many of them report that when they apply anything over the top of the serum (water, moisturizer, make up) that the wrinkles immediately reappear.  Others say that it is impossible to remove all of the residual white residue without washing the product off entirely.  I don’t know if this is because they are not following the directions to a T or is a result of not shaking the bottle enough before applying.  I only know that this was mentioned repeatedly in reviews.  Of course, there were also many reviews that gave Peter Thomas Roth Instant FirmX an excellent score and swore they would be buying this product again.

Where to Buy Peter Thomas Roth Instant FirmX

You can order this product from the official secure website where it is sold for $35 for 1.7 ounces.  It is also available at numerous other websites for $48 for 3.4 ounces. You can buy Peter Thomas Roth Instant FirmX at several fine department stores as well.

Our Conclusions

Although Peter Thomas Roth has become a respected name in the skin care industry over the past two decades, we are disappointed with the consumer reviews regarding this product.  Yes, many customers really did appreciate the fact that this worked quite well for them but just as many had complaints about the inability to completely remove the white residue without washing off the product and reversing the effects.  Until the company is able to resolve this problem, I cannot put my full support behind Peter Thomas Roth Instant FirmX.
