All the celebs are loco for coco…coconut water, that is. Most people drink it, but one company suggests we slather it on our faces for its anti-aging benefits. Coconut water is the active ingredient in Line Up (retail value: $36), a serum manufactured by Joey New York. According to the company, it makes “lines and wrinkles virtually disappear,” and “fills in lines and then plumps them up, creating a more youthful and awake appearance almost immediately.” We sent Line Up to our FOF testers, to find out– what’s the bottom line on this anti-ager?

Yes.
Did this product work for you? Did you notice a difference in your skin?
My lines appeared to go away and I noticed a difference in the look of my skin. However the results were not worth how the product felt–like a thin layer of Elmer’s glue spread over my face. By mid morning, my face would start to flake. The product came off in what looked like peeling skin.

What changes did you notice in your skin?
At first my skin was smooth and most of my lines seemed to disappear. My makeup looked fantastic after using this product for most of the morning. However, the product flaked off by lunch time and it looked like I had small cracks in my skin similar to dry arid desert ground.
Would you use it again?
No, I would not. My face needs to be able to move when I talk. I prefer my skin to feel supple.
Would you recommend it to other FOF members?
No, I would not. It might be a good product for a photo op that only lasted less than 2 hours.

Did this product work for you? Did you notice a difference in your skin?

I am still using it although I haven’t used it daily.
Were the directions easy to follow?
Yes.
Did this product work for you? Did you notice a difference in your skin?
I do notice a difference on my face when I use it. When I apply it, it feels a bit like watered down glue. I keep a calm, still face until it dries. The fine lines on my face almost disappear. I have a lot of lines on my forehead and it makes a big difference in how visible they are. I didn’t see any change in the deeper wrinkles.
Would you use it again?
I would use it again if it is not too expensive.
Would you recommend it to other FOF members?
I recommend it to any FOF who has fine lines they would like to hide
