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.

I’m glad I read trust pilot reviews before forking out all that money.
The video was almost winning me over until it went on too long and you couldn’t find the price until the end! This is ALWAYS a scam indicator. Forcing people to commit a ridiculous amount of time to a sales pitch so they feel like they have invested themselves is such an outdated way to do business. You need a better business consultant!

Forget it, don't waist your money

I have been using the face and neck cream now for 2 months and I don't notice any change at all. I am 63 , I have only a few fine wrinkles around my mouth. So as always huge promises and no results at all, disappointing. The pushy and always repeating promises in the awful long advertisement already left me sceptical but I wanted to give it a try. Don't waste her money on this product.

Customer service diabolical

Customer service diabolical. Received NO EMail at all confirming my order, despite repeatedly asking them to do so .The money left my bank immediately. No phone contact number so all this has to be done online . Received bottles ,eventually ..packaged poorly and cheaply. Been using product for about 11 months ( bought too many !) ..don't dislike it, but can't say any improvement in my facial wrinkles The eye cream does literally nothing.
Would say the claims are hugely exaggerated .Wanted to leave review immediately re customer service but waited to see how the product worked first .

I very rarely give reviews but felt a need to speak up..I purchased the 3 bottles of Firm and Restore Formula after seeing it advertised on Facebook, after listening intently to the the lengthy video. But almost 2 months later I haven’t noticed any change in my skin texture or fine lines whatsoever,in fact it feels drier than it was before. When the bottles arrived even though swift,I thought the packaging was very poor and the bottles were cheap and nasty and the labels attached were off lined and untidy. I actually feel after spending £129 I was scammed and maybe the video of I think was Melissa Hartzel was a very clever AI.. I’m very disappointed with the product and if I could return the other bottles I would.

I have previously used a premium brand costing 25% more compared to 1 bottle of Firm & Restore, which including postage was £54. F&R did not reduce my fine lines on my face or increase firmness. It also did not have any impact on the lines on my top lip. The smoothness of my skin did not improve and the overall appearance of my skin was not as good. I have continued to use the premium brands eye cream, so on balance I've decided to continue with the premium brand. F&R did though visibly reduce the crepiness and firmness of my neck and under chin, which I have only used body lotion on previously. However, the deciding factor is that the product is clearly only worth around £30 a bottle but to get it for this price you have to buy 6 bottles and the marketing strategy is really off putting and even if the product is really good the marketing approach devalues it, so I won't be ordering again.

I’m loving this Company products.
I always pay a premium for face creams and only use high end brands.
I thought I would just give it a try, I’m 59 and wow it’s reduced puffiness around the eyes and given my face a fresher brighter feel. So much so, my partner commented on how well I look. I’m looking forward to trying more of their products.

Miraculous wonder

This Firm Restore formula is an absolute miracle it works amazingly,I was utterly shocked. My skin feels much more smoother,firm and tight ,been using Elemis Pro Collagen aqua marine cream for years ,but hold on I have used this cream for 2 days and saw an immense difference in my face ,look far more youthful,radiant,with a natural glow , Elemis cost me £165 for 100 ml this one cost me £129 for 90 ml ,but it’s beautiful wonder , ever so greatful to Melissa and Chelsea Laboratory team for creating this miraculous cream also if I could I would award them as the best anti ageing specialists highly recommend it to everyone, Elemis i am afraid ,sadly to say it did not create much difference as this one.i can’t wait for my family friends and relatives to see me they will have shock 😮 of a life time and will Introduce them to Firm and Restore formula, it’s boosted my confidence and will definitely boost yours

Firm & Restore Furmula from The Chelsea Laboratory …

I've been using Firm & Restore Furmula from The Chelsea Laboratory for a few months, hoping that this cream would help my face and neck. Sadly it hasn't helped or made any difference at all. Such a waste of my money. It will now be going in the bin!

The product has made no difference to…

Update: I am still waiting for my refund from Sep. The Oct sum still says pending on my account. Therefore the comment you have put on this review is inaccurate.

Original review- The product has made no difference to my skin at all and I keep getting repeat orders I didn’t sign up for. I have called my bank and written emails to Chelsea Lavatories but still no joy. They have now taken £76 out of my account without permission. I sent the first bottle back and haven’t even received a second bottle to send back. Cancel any orders you have illegally set up and give me my refund. Now.

Truth

I purchased 6 bottles of Firm & Restore , I’m so disappointed and thoroughly dissatisfied with this product, I have had no good results at all, I went onto the 2nd bottle thinking sometimes things can take a while, patiently I waited but still nothing has happened. This product was very expensive and to be at this stage with no results at all is heartbreaking,
I’m requesting a refund as you have stated in your video that this is guaranteed.

I have ordered from this Company before…

I have ordered from this Company before and have been very satisfied with the product. However, I realised that I was running low so wanted to make another purchase. I put the items in my basket and before I had even got through paying for the 2 items, my phone was blowing up with calls from unidentified foreign numbers from people wanting me to order directly with them and give my card numbers over the phone. I can only conclude that either the Company knows of these calls and thinks it is a good way of pushing more products (it doesnt) or my details are not secure in their website. I do not wish to be harrassed by someone I know to be in another Country and am deeply suspicious of anyone claiming to need my card details over the phone. This is not a good marketing ploy and The Chelsea Laboratory have just lost a customer.
