Just love my Firm and Restore Formula


I have only been using this fabulous cream for a few days and I can see a small difference so far. This cream is so soft on my skin and my foundation goes on much better with this product compared to other more expensive lotions I have used.
Have recommended Firm and Restore Formula to my friends and family.
Thank you Chelsea Laboratory

Just Trust the process & you will see results!

My mum bought me my first Chelsea Lab item - The Firm & Restore Formula. I used it religiously every day and noticed a real difference in the texture of my skin especially my crepey neck. It glides on the skin like a dream & is now a permanent step in my skincare regime 😊

Face firming cream

I’ve been using the firming cream for a few years now and it is a lovely product. No one has stopped me and said I look younger because I don’t. I’m 75 and have smoked 60 of those years. My complexion is a mess but I can say with honesty that using this product makes me feel so much better about myself and I can smile confidently knowing I am doing my best to look good.

so i’ve fell for this scam as i try to search for something to turn the clock back!

i brought 3 tubes, i’ve been using this product for 2 weeks so still early days, but nothing, it’s not made me look more youthful, the cream does smell nice, i can smell a slight lemon smell to it, it does go on nicely a little goes a long way!

i would attach photos of proof of purchase but nowhere can i find how to attach them??

update…….

well ive religiously used this cream daily over the past 5 weeks, and at no point have i noticed the clock being turned back!

i will however say that one bottle lasts me a whole month. my skin does feel soft but i still look my age lol

i decided to try a thermalift treatment at my local beauticians so hopefully that wil help as its ment to help with collagen, im taking collagen supplements too.

i think the only thing that will work is a facelift, i think ive left it a little too late for creams and potions!!

Doesn't work

This product, video, testimonies cannot be true.
I have been using this religiously for 6 months and not one fine line or wrinkle has improved. What a waste of money, I bought 1 years supply believing this "miracle cream".
All it is, is a glorified moisturiser and an expensive one at that.
DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE...

Dear Joanne,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we're truly sorry to hear that the results haven’t met your expectations. We understand how disappointing that can feel, especially when you’ve been consistent with your routine.

If you haven’t already, please reach out to us directly so we can take care of this for you as smoothly as possible. Your satisfaction is extremely important to us, and we appreciate you giving the product a fair try.

Very poor/slow customer service

The order arrived very promptly, but having applied it as directed I haven't noticed any of the promised results. Chelsea Laboratories send out a generic acknowledgement for contact immediately but are very slow to respond to my request of instructions for returns and full refund as promised in the 180day guarantee. I have sent photographs as proof of no improvement in getting rid of/reducing wrinkles and jowels. Not impressed.
Since writing the first part of this review I have heard from customer service and after repeated attempts to get me to revise my decision of asking for a refund, they acquiesced. Got there in the end.

Great products and outstanding service…

I am a regular customer of The Chelsea Laboratory and highly value their products because they work. They do what they say. Recently I found out that their customer service is equally great. A delivery went missing. They resent it. No fuss no bother. I received no less than three emails and two phone calls checking it had arrived and I was happy. What a great company! Well done.

BEWARE CHELSEA LABORATORIES

I would give this product 2 but I would give this Company 0. After using this cream I saw absolutely no difference and in fact I broke out in spots. I cancelled further order and they still dipped into my bank account and ‘stole’ my money and sent me a product I had cancelled.
