Gentle on my skin

My bottle of Firm and Restore was waiting on my return from a trip to India. The pollution and dust had made my face feel dry and sore. In just a couple of days using F&R, my skin has calmed down and feels very smooth. I like that the cream absorbs well into my skin and it has a pleasant,  gentle smell

Thank you again for choosing Firm and Restore, and we hope it continues to keep your skin feeling nourished and refreshed!

Not a scam ! It’s worked for me very quickly!

Hi all,
Was i dubious that this was another cream offering the world and failing miserably. Yes!
Was I wrong Yes!!!
I’ve only been using this day and the night cream for four days now and I can definitely see a difference in my skin already.
Now, I have always taken care of my skin from my teens as being an outdoors person. So I do have good skin at 63 and get compliments on my complexion. My normal routine takes a good fifteen to twenty minutes to do with serums and creams.
However I watched the presentation and decided to take a gamble, as time is precious to me now and the offer seemed a good deal.
I looked at the reviews on trust pilot as I have been scammed before but the company has excellent reviews so I placed my order for the day and night cream.
Well delivery took a little time but customer services were excellent and chased my order up and ensured it arrived.
It is so simple to use everyday and night. Clean skin and off you go! It literally takes a minute or two as it absorbs so quickly and easily leaving soft and supple skin. Fine lines are already looking improved and even deeper ones round my mouth are plumped up.
This happened by day two and I was not quite sure what I was seeing thinking I was fooling myself. Now after four days I can already see that yes my skin is definitely plumper and feels great.
For myself it’s the time saving as well that’s such a bonus. All the time I’ve spent doing routines morning and night I can’t believe this works with such little effort. Just a quick routine.
So for me yes the hype was definitely worth it.
I hope that offers are still made in the future, as it is a significant investment but in the long run, if it continues to work so well, it will be worth it, especially as the great offer price sets you up.
Thank you to all the team!

I received my 6 bottle order the very next day I placed my order,which was exactly as described. I have been using for a week now and I can not believe what I I am seeing, I was a little sceptical I have to admit, but my skin is softer smoother and some of the finer lines are filling somehow.
It is amazing and not a sales pitch.
Thank you for this amazing product.
It does exactly what Melissa says it does.
Five stars all the way.😊

So far so good!

Delivery was super fast and the product really works. It’s only a matter of days but my skin feels smoother and more hydrated and fine lines appear to be less noticeable. With longer term I’m hoping for more youthful looking skin.

I bought 9 bottles of the cream and began using it straight away. I found it to be very sticky and not so easy to spread without stretching my skin. I persevered but I wasn’t happy with the feel of it on my skin- especially the stickiness. There was also a strange scent which I disliked. Thinking it was just my skin type that was the problem I gave a bottle to a friend to try and she said she found much the same and didn’t want to use it either. So as far as I was concerned it was a total waste of money…

Dear Nora,


Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that the texture and scent of the cream didn’t meet your expectations, especially after purchasing multiple bottles.

Skincare can respond very differently depending on individual skin types and application preferences, and we understand how disappointing it is when a product isn’t the right fit for you or your friend. This certainly isn’t the experience we want for our customers.

We’d really like the opportunity to look into this further and help make things right. Please could you email our customer service team directly, including your order details, so they can assist you personally and discuss possible next steps.

Thank you again for your feedback — it’s invaluable in helping us improve.

I have used the firm and restore every dsy


I have used the firm and restore every morning since I received and I don’t know if it’s wishful thinking or what, but I swear my complexion seems brighter, my skin smoother and more radiant, I’m hoping it is the day cream and I am looking forward to seeing what it does for my skin after a few weeks of use.

Misleading advert…

I ordered what I thought was one bottle of their serum. The following month I received another bottle which I did not want. When I checked the advert it said order 6 bottles go to cart, order 3 bottles go to cart order 1 bottle subscribe. Totally my own fault, because I was in a hurry, I assumed it was just for the one bottle but I found I had subscribed to one a month.i found their advertising very long and misleading. Didn’t think much of their serum and definitely won’t be ordering again. I hope no one else gets caught.

No thanks

I almost made a purchase, but was so turned off by the prompt phone call from the "call center" trying to offer a new customer deal with an additional 10% off, then waivered when I decided against purchasing and she dug for a different amount I could save. When I said I was uninterested I hung up, but was still looking at the site. The same person called me back to entice me with a further discount to buy the product, butit was the same as the the first. It felt too "scamy" and turned me off. Not going to buy it, it is a ridiculous sales approach. Not sure this was going to be any better of moisturizing cream than any other I've tried. If it sounds too good to be true.....

Goods delivered quickly as described, product is nice to use. It is not greasy and sinks into the skin quickly. It does not have a strong perfume smell as some products do. I am very happy with it but have to wait a bit longer to see the facial improvement.

Dreadful ordering system

I really like the firm and restore moisturiser and whilst I don’t think that it has made me look particularly different compared to other moisturisers that I have used, it doesn’t irritate my skin. I have oily skin with very open pores so any product that I use tends to block my pores - this is no different.
I really dislike the ordering process - I don’t want a subscription nor a high pressure selling video that tries to make me buy multiple units by saying that stocks are low which is a blatant lie. This needs to be sorted out!!
