Never finished the video- as others…

Never finished the video- as others have said it’s way too long and repetitive and treats us like we are dumb. I won’t buy on principle. Don’t treat your target audience like they don’t have a clue.

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’ve only been using Firm and Restore Formula for a week, so it’s still early days, but I have noticed my face looking a little more filled out. I’m looking forward to seeing the results as I continue.

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.

Great hydration!

I have been using Firm and Restore Formula for a few months now and have to say that I am really pleased with the results. I find this moisturiser very hydrating compared to other moisturisers and don't even need to use serum with this one. The skin on my neck used to occasionally itch with dryness but not any more! In fact, when I touch the skin on my neck, it feels smooth and hydrated.
I use both the day and night moisturisers, as well as the advanced eye product and am happy with them all. Although I am 61 years old, I don't have deep lines on my face and hope to keep it that way with Firm and Restore Formula.
As an added bonus, the lightweight design of the bottles helps reduce the weight of toiletries when travelling.
I am looking forward to using the Advanced Crepe Correcting Formula, especially for my neck area.

Dear,

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear how well the Firm and Restore Formula has been working for you and that it’s keeping your skin feeling smooth, hydrated, and comfortable.

We’re also pleased that the lightweight packaging has been convenient for you when travelling—that’s exactly what we had in mind when designing it. We can’t wait for you to try the Advanced Crepe Correcting Formula, and we hope you’ll find it just as beneficial, especially for your neck area.

Thank you again for your trust and support—we’re so happy to be part of your skincare routine!

Read this review!

The presentation is so unnecessarily long and drawn out, repeating the same phrases over and over again when you finally get to the end? (yes after the third attempt I finally got there)
As soon as I saw buy six bottles for this amount of money it makes me think they can’t get rid of the stuff, if it was that good you wouldn’t need to sell it in that way. Why don’t you sell samples to last 14 days , after all in the video you say you see results within a few days, I know for a fact most women would appreciate the opportunity to try , and if it’s as good as you say they will definitely come back . You need to
Shorten your video, offer samples & stop asking people to leave a review by offering a free gift after only a few days of using the cream , that is not a true review.
Also if the Mum in the video was going to bed in mascara she obviously hasn’t treated her face kindly over the years .

Dear Jan,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the presentation felt too long and repetitive—we’ll be passing this on to our team so we can improve how information is shared in the future.

We also appreciate your suggestions about offering smaller sample sizes and a shorter video, as many of our customers value the chance to try before committing. While we currently provide multi-bottle offers to help reduce the price per bottle for those who wish to continue their skincare journey, we understand how a trial size could be helpful and we’re actively considering options like this.

Regarding reviews, we always want honest experiences—whether positive or negative—and never intend to pressure anyone. Your input helps us refine how we approach this, so thank you again for taking the time to share such detailed thoughts.

Seeing positive results

Thank you for sending my order of Firm and Restore Formula.
I ordered 6 bottles to take advantage of the big discount.

I have only been using for a few days, but already my skin is so much better.
The fragrance is lovely, and on application my skin is beautifully moisturised and looking firmer and glowing.
Easy to apply using only a small amount, and absorbs into my face so quickly.
Looking forward to seeing the results after a couple of weeks use.

A total waste of money. Smells awful.

A total waste of money and they promise you a free gift if you will give a review. The cream is sold as anti wrinkle cream. It smells awful and does nothing that a pot of cheap face cream does. Please don’t be taken in as I was and don’t waste your money.
If I receive a refund I will be much happier and change my view but at the moment I’m extremely unhappy.

Have watched twice and never got to the end!

Have watched twice over a period of time and both times eventually gave up before I ever got to the end…..actually does it ever end?? Heard the same thing over and over again without getting to what it is or how much it is. If it’s so good why not get to the end result and allow people to buy it. Won’t bother again

So far so good

Query about a delivery problem dealt with instantly and effectively. (not the fault of the company).
Friendly and helpful interactions with several members of the team.
Cream absorbs quickly, feels very nice.
Only had two days of use, but already seems beneficial
At 81, it may be a little more time is needed to achieve
the dream, but so far this is by far the most promising product I’ve tried

Review of Firm and Restore cream.

Review of Firm and Restore cream.
I purchased the firm and restore cream and have only been using for just over a week. I have sensitive skin and redness from Roseaca. When I started using I was having a flair up of my ache Roseaca, the cream did not aggravate my skin and the redness is reduced and my Roseaca seems to be improving. It is early days but so far I am impressed with the creams performance.
Many thanks

Early Impressions of Firm and Restore Formula


I’ve only been using the Firm and Restore Formula for about a week, so it’s still early days and I haven’t noticed any dramatic changes yet, but my skin looks a little more plump !, my husband did comment that my skin looks healthier, which was a nice surprise—and especially on point, since I don’t use concealer. It’s encouraging to hear that kind of feedback from someone who sees my skin as it is.

The first time I applied it, I felt a slight burning sensation—not painful, just noticeable—but it hasn’t happened again since. I’ve been applying it after cleansing and before my serum, and it seems to sit well on my skin.

Looking forward to seeing how it performs over time. So far, very optimistic.

Thank you for sharing your early impressions with us! We’re so glad to hear that you’re already noticing a healthy glow and that your husband has seen a difference too—that’s such a wonderful compliment. A mild tingling can sometimes happen on first application as your skin adjusts, but it’s great to know that it hasn’t continued and that the formula is sitting comfortably with your routine. We’re excited for you to see the longer-term benefits as you keep using it, and we really appreciate your optimism and thoughtful feedback!
