Allergan's Vivite - A Second Report

I am a skeptic.

So. When something seems to work, I am surprised. Often, I say to myself, "Sucker!" I don't want to suspend my ingrained disbelief.

It would appear that this stuff works. I mean, this Vivite skin product regimen. When I write "works," I mean this: My skin feels softer. Much softer.

Now, it could be that I am paying more attention, scrutinizing my face more than usual. But I think not. It is softer. Score one for the folks at Allergan.

The samples are just about gone. The eye cream went first. Then the daily facial serum. I'm going through the last if the night cream. Not surprising, the last to go will be the exfoliating cleanser (the "sandpaper").

Let's see how long the effects last. For the record, I see no change in any of the fine line-wrinkles.

But hey, check Julie Christie in the gorgeous, touching film "Away from Her." If ever there was a testament to timeless beauty, then she is it. 

I have to (begrudgingly?) admit that this Vivite line is far superior to the chain-drugstore-supermarket brands I've been using.

Another bonus: The samples from Allergan (the creators-purveyors of Juvederm, the injectable wrinkle-line filler), also included Scott Barnes' "Kiss & Make-up Kit."

Scott Barnes is advertised as a "celebrity make-up artist." The concealer is pretty terrific. The lip gloss is great, but too sticky. I wish the sample had come in a tube - since I have to wipe off the excess from my fingers - and when I don't have tissue at hand, that poses a slight challenge. (Wipe it on the butt of my jeans?)

All up? I wish I had the Vivite samples in hand after the Active FX treatment. I might have thought better of the (lack of) after-care.

Another special thanks to the good folks here - who sent the samples. There are more, and more reports to come.
