I've been using this product for only 1 week and I have no idea how one product could help so much but it does. I have been thinking for a few days how will I write this review, because I have to say something that people will believe, but I can't come up with anything strong enough that is believable. Because this product, at least for me, has been a dream come true. Better than that even, because I never knew something could work so fast, and be so effective. I have been considering a professional face peel and/or dermabrasion and/or laser resurfacing for almost 10 years, but haven't had the nerve to subject my face to something that could, should something go wrong, be so devastating. I have very thin skin, so any treatment I choose I have to consider very carefully. It is also difficult to schedule recovery times, not to mention the expense. Well, with this one product, I have found the answer. Again, at least for me, because there might be people that it might not work for; it seems however that I am the person that the "miracle" product (whatever it is) never works for. I have in the past read so many rave reviews about so many other skin care products, bought them, and seen such minimal improvements for such expense that I usually give up the treatment within a month or two. Not this time.

I have believed for a long time that if a product is going to work, that it will produce the most dramatic results right off the bat no matter who you are and no matter what the product; because at the beginning you need it most, and have the most improvement to achieve. Well this one time, finally, I was not disappointed. To say the least, I am stunned. OK, this is going to sound like an exaggeration, but I look in the mirror one week later and see a face more than 10 years younger. In those low-light, high-contrast reflections I have tried not to look at for the last 5 years, the craggy skin under my cheekbones is gone, the saggy cheeks are firming, the bags under my eyes are now mostly a memory revealed only by fine lines that belie their previous existence, and the lines diminish daily as the skin on the rest of my face tightens in all directions and pulls taught, as if a million tiny surgeons were pulling each pore smaller from the inside.

Unbelievable. Truly an unbelievable event in my 53-year-old face, which is fooling me now with its youthful appearance.

Yes, it's expensive. And I don't care if I have to cancel my cable television for the rest of my life to afford one of these every month if that's what it takes (I don't know how long the bottle lasts yet.) Because I'd rather enjoy youthful skin in my reality - in my mirror, and in my life than envy complexions that don't even exist at all except only in a makeup-and-spackled manufactured reality that others present as something to be admired. I do admire it, but I prefer to admire it on my face, and enjoy the benefits of random smiles, unexpected cheerful hellos, and the joy of my own reflection.

Is that overboard? I don't care. I committed myself days ago to write something that does justice to the results I have seen in a mere week of using this product because... to be honest... I have a selfish motive. I want to do what I can to ensure that I will be able to buy this for a long time to come. And if I write a review that entices people to buy it, then I will have done what I can to promote sales and help to keep the product on the market. Yes, this review has a purely selfish motive. So, if it's too expensive, ask yourself how much you have spent on other facial products over the years, and if you need to, stop buying your creams, your moisturizers, your treatments, even your foundation and your lipstick and save up to buy this, because if it works for you like it works for me, you won't care about those any more, because you won't need them. This is all I need, and I hope it's all you will need too. Oh, maybe a little vitamin E or pure Aloe Vera might help, because it does sting a little (well it's an acid - duh) but I'm sure nothing like a dermabrasion would have. Neither is it dangerous nor traumatic. I think about how Kenny Roger's face was ruined by a cosmetic surgeon. Wow. I'm nobody and I wouldn't want that to happen to me. How terrible for him. That danger is non-existent with this product. I control how much I put on, and how often. The procedure couldn't be better; again, but only my opinion.

One tip: take a picture before your first application in your worst light. You're going to want it later so that you can truly appreciate how far your skin has come. I cringed but I did it. And I'm glad I did.

When to stop? (sigh...) how about now...

I've been using the product for 3 weeks. Since I am probably older than the average user, I don't expect miracles. That is why I'm only giving it a 4. I do notice my skin tone is more even over all and the circles under my eyes are less puffy. I do plan on reordering. So far, this is the best product I have tried.

Dr. Jacobs transforming serum is fantastic. I have been using this product for about a year. It has erased lines on my neck and upper eyelids. It also raised my eyelids and tightend my neck. I love this product.
