Mary Kay TimeWise Line Reducer: Expensive & did not work for me.

1

Mary Kay TimeWise Line Reducer is expensive and it did not work for me at all. I normally do not buy or use Mary Kay products. I personally don't like their marketing and selling technique. I have never enjoyed going to selling parties. It always feels like the hostess is trying to get discounted and free products by selling stuff to her friends. And there is always pressure to buy things you don't need or want. So, after saying that, I did go to a Mary Kay party. I felt pressure to buy something, so I picked this product because it really did sound like something that might help me. I can't help think that Mary Kay products are over-priced. But I figured that buying this one item wouldn't kill me. I tried using it for almost a month before throwing in the towel. It did not smell too strong. It smelled actually very nice. And I didn't mind putting it on my face. It did absorb well into my face. It was not too greasy or oily. But it did not reduce lines on my face at all. It did not reduce even the finest lines. I told my friend about my results (lack of results) and she said it was because the product was formulated to work with their entire skin line. If I bought the entire package, I would see greater results. But I am just going to cut my losses and promise myself to never attend another sales party! Live and learn.

Mary Kay TimeWise Line Reducer: Easy To Use

5

Mary Kay's TimeWise Targeted-Action Line Reducer appealed to me because of the lines I am starting to see pop up on my forehead and smile lines around my mouth. In my early thirties, I thought I wouldn't see these sneak up for years to come, but since I am here now, I thought I would try it out. This is another great product from Mary Kay's TimeWise line. I already use their basic skin care line and have found this line reducer to be a great addition to that aging-prevention lineup. This does not irritate my sensitive skin at all. I put it on at night before bed. The line reducer is easy to use. You turn the bottom and will hear a click, and then you will see the serum pop up on the top of the other applicator end. Then just run this along any wrinkles you're not a fan of (for me that would be all of them!). The shaped applicator makes the serum pretty easy to apply, although I always need to smooth it in a little bit with my fingers. It dries clear, so it is not noticeable if you wanted to wear it during the day. I have seen visible changes in my wrinkles since using this product, so I am very pleased and will keep using it.

Mary Kay Timewise Targeted-Action Line Reducer did not work.

1

I normally refuse to spend a lot of money on anything but I did splurge once and try Mary Kay's Timewise Targeted Action Line Reducer to see if it helped any with my smile lines and forehead wrinkles and I was not impressed.  This product is very expensive and claims to tighten wrinkles to reduce the appearance almost instantly.  I will say that one benefit I saw from this product was that it has those light-diffusing ingredients which does help with minimizing the appearance of wrinkles but I saw no tightening effects whatsoever.  I also found it nearly impossible to use my concealer and foundation on top of this product because it gave a globbed up, thick look to those smile lines and wrinkles after my makeup was applied so I had to remove my makeup and the line reducer and start all over with my makeup application.  This is one product that I would not recommend based on the cost and the benefits.

My line is gone.

I had an expression line at the top of my nose in between my eyes. I also had smile lines around my mouth. I used one tube of this and haven't had to get another one. I used it in that area of my face and the deep expression line that I had is now gone. I used it around my eyes but haven't seen the results like the other area. Maybe if I used more around my eyes it would work better. All I have to say is that the lines that concerned me most are now gone.

Working so far

I had mainly gotten this because of the expression lines around my mouth. They have always been there, but now they seem deeper, and more defined. More apparent. A close friend of mine recently began selling Mary Kay and showed me this product. She happened to have an extra one on her that night, so I handed her my card and she handed me this, lol. Of course she showed me how it worked. Then she reassured me that if i didn't like the results I could give it back towards something else or just get my money back. Love the whole satisfaction guarantee. So far though, I'm kinda loving it. Those lines near  my mouth really have been filled in, and seem less visible and definitely not as deep. It can be kinda tricky to use, but once you get the hang of it its really no problem at all. Ive found a trick is to not use that much. Too much will cake up and look really noticeable. But a nice light application, patted in works wonders all day.

*I have used Mary kay and Avon for the last few years ; I love the Mary Kay line of eye serums and moisturizers. The MK action line reducer works wellfor my skin type. You can spend much more in department stores and online with results not as impressive.*

As a consultant...

As a consultant, I would say this is a great product. However, I would not recommend it for anyone with acne. It will make the average person's skin feel and look great. I found it made my skin terribly oily.

Disappointed - Mary Kay time wise targeted action line reducer

1

I was so excited when I bought the Mary Kay targeted action line reducer, but I must say, I ended up being highly disappointed after using the product for a couple weeks. I bought it at a Mary Kay party, and, of course, the Mary Kay representative went on and on about how great and fast-acting this product is. She said that she uses it daily, and that even her husband uses it with great (and immediate) results. I bought the product and started using it immediately, typically twice a day, for about two and a half weeks. The only result that I saw immediately was that my skin got this flaky white stuff on it where I had applied the product. I figured that I might be putting too much on, so I tried applying less, but I did not see any reduction of lines and wrinkles anywhere I applied the product, regardless of how much I put on. I am 28 years old and have fine wrinkles around my laugh lines, and deeper wrinkles on my forehead. It didn't matter where I applied the product, I saw absolutely no change. I will say that Mary Kay stood by their satisfaction guarantee, and I got all of my money back in the end.
