I visited 3 sites before finding my way here. The first one nearly hooked me but I started wondering who "WE" were. There were so many "we thinks" and "we believes" that I had no choice but to go to the "about us" page which never really told me who WE were. The second site was the same yet I was still leaning toward trying the stuff when I found your site. You wrote almost everything the little voice in my head was saying but was totally ignoring. by the way, I wanted to add that being a graphic designer, I know better than most to NEVER pay attention to before and after pics. I've done some amazing things with Photoshop and "improving" photos is a big part of what I do. It takes less than 10 minutes to alter a face in a way that is virtually impossible to tell. But back to the subject, thank you for forcing me to listen to my inner voice. I also want to thank Teresa who did actually try the product and reinforced the fact that the product is not worth $189 dollars and the hassle of a subscription. Instead, I think I'll stop procrastinating and use the money to replace the brake pads on my car. Not as glamorous but totally more sensible! Thanks again!

When i first put the product on, it did not get rid of my lines, nope, they still looked back at me but after a few day, they seemed softened. I have fine lines but a very firm face, so it is only eyes i need to work on. I have tried olay fillers, and Roc, but neither worked at all.I am still new to this lifecell product, so hopefully i will see a lot of improvement later, although it certainly does not do what it promises.

I've seen a number of these for different things, including investing and insurance. My instinct says ignore them, yet my eye is drawn to the claims, the testimonials, the pictures - now I know why! Aubrey M, this article did not claim to review the product - it's just a warning to be wary of anything marketed in this manner. Think! If it's as good as they claim, wouldn't word-of-mouth advertising have people clamoring for the product faster than they could make it? The Long Sales Page – so that’s what it is!
