GARNIER ULTRA LIFT PRO X – My first impression when I saw this product on the shelf was “great, TSA friendly”. That’s a trend I am all over. But this looks and feels more like my roll on deodorant than a true anti-aging secret or a wrinkle cream. It contains hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid, both good. Plus beech tree extract. To be fair, you should always read the fine print before you buy: “UltraLift has been developed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and make the skin feel firmer, it has not been proven to lift or firm the skin.” That sounds reasonable – they are not promising the moon. It works somewhat like manual lymphatic drainage – to reduce inflammation and smooth out wrinkles. Honestly, I saw no real evidence of either. Interesting concept in theory, but doesn’t deliver visible results, at least not for me.
FINAL VERDICT (SYC) SAVE YOUR CASH - Just because it’s cheap, doesn’t mean it is good value if it doesnt do anything for you.
