“Does work for me”-October 24, 2009
I have used strivectin on my face for about four years and i absolutely love it! I am almost fifty and am frequently mistaken for much younger. I love the feel, scent and results. On the few times I have not had it, I have immediately noticed a difference, skin feels much drier, less elasticity, and creases show that don't when I use it. Other creams, even expensive ones, feel too greasy and don't soak in to the skin like strivectin seems to...It is expensive, and I try to get deals or discounts on it if possible...but it is the only skin care I spend much on...never see any difference with expensive makeup, so thats not for me...this is my only "must have" product..luckily the 6 oz tube does last for 4-6 months..(the neck cream also worked noticeably for me as well but it did not last long at all...for $90.00, it was too expensive....)it would be interesting to know why the face cream works on some and not others..

“No”-June 6, 2009
Way to much hype about this. It made my skin a tiny bit smoother, that is all...There are much better brands out there and I consider this a waste of money for me.

“Not worth the money...”-May 20, 2009
I've used Strivectin to get rid of stretch marks--some older and some new. I used Strivecting well over 8 weeks, more like 3 or 4 months and I saw slight improvement. I did notice that the stretch marks seemed to fade a bit, but they were definitely still there and very noticeable. I used it exactly as directed, 3 times a day, every day. It's just not worth over $100 per tube. I've tried other, cheaper methods like almond oil, shea butter, but they too only work a little...still cheaper than Strivectin though. It's not worth spending hundreds of dollars for very little improvement.

“I keep coming back to this”-April 26, 2009
I have used this for two years and at one point just did not re-order it (trying to save money). Within a few months I noticed the difference in my skin - loss of elasticity, etc so began purchasing other products in an effort to revive my skin again. Nothing was doing what StriVectin did so I came back to it. I have aging/monthly acne prone skin and as long as I use something to address the potential for break outs at night - Strivectin and sunscreen is all I really need. If you must put makeup on over it, give it time to absorb into the skin, the cool setting on a blow dryer helps.

“Don't waste your money...”-April 15, 2009
I have used this product every day as directed for 4 months and have not seen ANY difference in either my faint stretch marks, nor the fine lines around my eyes. It is a great moisturizer, but there are a lot of less expensive products that would do the same. Tried it on my chest and did get the bumps that many of mentioned.

“It helps”-March 29, 2009
I bought this product in February 2009 for the first time and I am happy with it. My stretch marks are 15 years old and now they beginn to disappear. My skin got firmer and thicker. I think the stretch marks would fade away when I finish the second tube. I live in Europe, where Srtivectin is much more expensive. That's why I order this cream in USA. Thank you!

“" It does not work for me !!! "”-March 5, 2009
No effect at all, after finishing one huge tube.
Buy something else probably is better.

“Best Cream Ever!”-February 13, 2009
I have used Strivectin for that past 7 years and absolutely swear by it! I easily look 10 years younger because of this cream (plus generous SPF application for the past 17 years). Don't forget to use it on the neck and upper chest area as well. I also use the hand cream because I want to keep my hands looking young as well.

“works for me”-January 19, 2009
I received a StriVectin SD sample from Skinstore. yesterday I decided to try it. I'm male, in my early 30's. I applied some on my forehead and after less than 15 minutes I could see results! I don't know if this works for every person, but, i'm blown away.

“Miracle Cream”-December 14, 2008
I started using strivectin about five to six years ago.I had a large wrinkle on my forehead and I wanted to find a way to get rid of it without using Botex. I started using this cream and about 6 months later I noticed the line was not as noticable. After one year the line on my forehead was completely gone. I swear by this. I look at least ten years younger that my sister who never used it.

“Created Cystic Acne”-December 14, 2008
I NEVER had any acne before this product, then developed deep cystic acne after using for 2 weeks. I still have the scarred nodules after a year. Wish I never tried this. At this price, Botox is a better investment.

“Loved it!”-October 28, 2008
A friend recommended Strivectin she looked great for her age so I tried it and have used no other eye cream since (1 year now). It smoothed my wrinkles and crowsfeet I can honestly say its the best I've ever tried.

“Biggest disappointment EVER!”-October 16, 2008
I had read about Strivectin for years and finally found it for sale on your web site. I could hardly wait to get it! I used it faithfully for 8 weeks and found that it did NOITHING for stretch marks, fine lines, much less wrinkles. Buy some olive oil & save your money!

“Not Sure”-August 29, 2008
I like how it feels on my skin and it works well under make-up but I am not sure if it did anything for my wrinkles. It's pretty pricey and for that price I'd rather recommend Estee Lauder Perfectionist CP+. (Serum). Now that's a real deal if you use it with moisturizer. I think if you're over 40, you have to use serums, bring in the heavy weights:)

“Works for me!”-August 19, 2008
I have used Botox. I have/had super deep lines between brows and even Botox did not make it look as smooth as Stivectin! It is worth a try to find out if it works for you. Get a sample at a skin store.

way to greasy, even using a very small amount, I broke out with more blemishes than I ever had as a teenager. I will go back to using ,Walgreens Skin Essential products. Much better and less costly.

I had Botox before and using StiVectin helps to prolong the Botox effect. The price I think is too much for this

This product makes my skin look dirty and it really doesn't help with aging, at least not that i have noticed. I might as well smeer mud on my face and save $135. Definitely not worth the price
