I am 49 and have oily to normal skin. I am very fair (English), so I don’t have a lot of sun damage, and my skin tone is fairly even. Upon receiving the newly reformulated Medik8 Firewall ($145 in the shop), I was right into it! I really love the packaging. It’s well-presented and original, although during the time I used it, one side of the dual-chamber dispenser stuck a little. I used it morning and evening after cleaning my face and used my regular moisturizers after applying the Medik8 Firewall.

At first, I didn’t think the amount of product that dispensed from the pump would cover my face and neck, but it did. The texture is really nice and lightweight and absorbs beautifully, so I felt as though it was going into my skin, rather than just sitting on the surface. There was no residue at all after applying it. Also, I didn’t experience any adverse reactions as a result of this serum.

After the first couple of weeks, I didn’t think the Firewall had made any difference. But now that I’m one month into it, I’m really pleased to say that I think it has softened the superficial wrinkles on my face. The only way I can describe my face in the mirror is to say it’s similar to looking at myself though a blurred lens, and that’s with my glasses on! My face also feels firmer and smoother. Even my husband has commented that my face feels smoother, so it must be working. I will definitely be buying another once I’ve used it all up.

Thank you, Truth In Aging, for the wonderful opportunity. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone.
