It works! It really, really works!
IT is a little device, called the JeNu Ultrasonic Infuser System, that helps the skin care products I’ve been using to absorb into my skin, rather than sit on top, so they can really, really work. I started using JeNu two weeks ago, at the exact same time I began a new skin care regimen, called MD Complete, by Dr. Brian Zelickson. My before-and-after photos speak for themselves. I call the results pretty dramatic, working wonders on the areas of my face that most irritated me: My crows feet, under-eye droopiness, and nasolabial folds (those two lovely lines that run from beneath my nose, on both sides, to my lips.) Although everything hasn’t totally disappeared, the wrinkles and lines are far less pronounced, after only a couple of weeks!
Absorption: The secret behind the ‘magic wand’
The skin care line from MD Complete is undoubtedly playing a part in the improved appearance of my skin, and I plan to tell you about that next week. For now, I’d like to concentrate on why I believe JeNu is a must-have in the beauty routine of every woman over 45 (or the age when your estrogen level starts to diminish, and you suddenly see wrinkles, not to mention looser, drier and thinner skin).
First off, no matter how many “active” ingredients go into creating our serums, moisturizers and creams, and no matter how much the products cost, the majority of them are not absorbed quick enough into the skin to live up to their promises to abolish crows feet, fine lines, and more. The vast majority of them just sit on our skin’s surface, before evaporating into thin air, and while we may see some improvement, it’s invariably short term. In fact, the primary function of the skin is to act as a barrier that prevents the intrusion of external materials, so it’s not easy for cosmetic companies to develop formulations that actually can be absorbed into the skin to deliver all the benefits we expect.
No pain! Plenty of gain!
Enter JeNu, which was designed to use ultrasound energy to increase the rate, by six times, at which our skin absorbs the ingredients in our skin care products, so they’ll perform better and faster.
JeNu was just named by VOGUE magazine as a top game-changing product to own, and is getting raves from other highly respected beauty experts. It’s no wonder. JeNu is SAFE, gentle, convenient (can be used right at home), and a cinch to use. Unlike having a dermatologist perform a costly, and often painful, chemical peel or micro-needling procedure to prepare your skin to properly absorb products, JeNu is a fraction of the cost, and painless.
Real women. Real results!
Here’s how it works: First, I apply my skin care product, as usual. Then I put a pearl-size drop of their exclusive “conducting gel” (packed with the device and also the key to making your skincare products absorb 3 times more) onto the smooth metal head of the JeNu, turn it on and run the small, sleek wand over a section of my face, a minute at a time. The ultrasound energy transfers through special microspheres (hollow miniscule spheres of protein) in the gel, giving my products a “push” and helping my skin to absorb them more completely. Now the products have a chance to really do what the manufacturers’ promise, instead of simply evaporating on top of my skin after I’ve applied them with my fingertips. They can travel where they need to, and do things like stimulate collagen, which keeps our skin tight and youthful.
There have been 7 different studies in which hundreds of women have tested out the device, its manufacturer says. Time after time, JeNu has been shown to be safe, as well as effective, with 100% more women reporting softer, smoother skin, decreased fine lines and wrinkles, and a brighter, more radiant complexion when using a leading anti-aging serum with the JeNu Infuser versus alone.
My own little study proved what a little miracle worker it is. If your results are anything like mine, JeNu will become your “magic wand”, too!

I was born in 1944 and don’t have a single droop: Trader Joe facial wipes, Eucerin moisturizer, occasional lipstick. That’s it.
cygnet2 says:
So sad that someone can be so swayed by the dollar sign…Geri, come clean. Yes, you put a disclaimer above your post, but this is in all respects, an advertisement – and not a very good one. Since everyone has already mentioned the difference in lighting, I will bring up something that hasn’t been mentioned. In the “after” photo, you have your eyebrows raised, as evidenced by both the deeper lines in your forehead and by the difference in the space between your eyebrows and the crease in your eyelids. If I do that, my crowsfeet diminish and the bags under my eyes almost disappear. There is nothing honest about this whole thing, other than the fact that you said that FOF was compensated with an advertising sponsorship.
One more thing: In your final pic where you say with makeup you’re looking pretty good — how did the lines around and beneath your eyes reappear so quickly?
wish i could reply all says:
Jee-zusss..What a bunch of nasty old shrews commenting and wasting space just to be heard and prove how much ‘smarter’ they are. Do you all think you are ‘teaching’ everyone how savvy you are by talking so much shit at this woman’s expense? So she loves the product, chooses to endorse it, put straight up brave pictures up of herself, maybe she makes a buck— lighting differences? Photo-shopping? WHO GIVES A SHIT. SO WHAT. THATS WHAT ALL OF SOCIAL MEDIA IS. I stumbled on this blog from a different beauty blog referencing this product. Just more info to take in about something i’m already interested in. I’m not going to buy it from this blog- because as someone who is already interested, and like anyone with half a brain, I’m going to continue researching and if I do want it I will buy it from the company. But i thank Geri profusely for her thoughts and for putting her pics out there, any old which way she chooses (SINCE IT IS HER BLOG AND SHE STATES RIGHT UP FRONT THAT ITS A SPONSERED POST)- because aging sucks dick and we are all looking for a little magic something, looking for a little hope of some new product, some wondrous cream/pill/makeup trick/diet/workout/wand to make us feel better without feeling like an asshole. Otherwise, why were any of you here in the first place?? Oh yeah..Trolls. Another commonplace part of social media. Anyways, Geri, I think you are beautiful, in both pics! Thank you for your thoughts on Jenu.
Allyson Diva says:
Forget the JenNu – I have been using a device called the Tua Spa for years – under $200, it has not only a sonic (ultrasound) feature but ALSO a sonic cleansing feature AND a galvanic microcurrent feature…. And NO GEL required for use, although you can also use it for infusion if you want. BioTherm also makes a similar one. If you are looking for one of these, I suggest checking out the Tua Spa model – you will get a lot better value and more features too!!!
Guest says:
Not sure why this BS keeps showing up for me I thought I had blocked it. $200 plus shipping? Get a few IPL facials & the results are better & last longer.
Terri Carlson-Gruntler says:
Please Laura, I would love some of your tips! Always looking for new ways to look better!
Annie says:
Look at her neck and shoulders in the before and after. Before is all crepey; after is much smoother. I doubt if she used her magic wand down under her face out to her shoulders. If it were a real magic wand, I’d buy one for sure, but alas, it’s only a fairy tale.
Nim says:
There is very little difference between the two pictures. The “after” photo has been “staged” to erace aging signs…….the lighting is different, so lines do not look as deep,…..the woman’s hair is shorter, bringing your eye up, and making droopiness not as noticeable, etc. She needs a facelift, fat transfer, and filler in her upper eyelids to turn the clock back.
LHG says:
Its just like when they are selling makeup and skin care on QVC before and afters are always different light, brighter colors , and 21 year old models. LOL it would be nice if their was something non invasive that worked I wouldn’t mind paying for it but I believe fillers and botox are the only solution.
Sara Miller says:
I just sent a device like that one back for a refund – didn’t do much for me – and I notice the shadowy lighting in the first (before) pic above – not foolin’ me.
Elaine Brosnan says:
I very rarely wear make-up as I’m of Polynesian descent so I am more on the brown color side! Mascara and a good lipstick is about my dash of make-up! I don’t use any cleaning products on my face and use a moisturizer twice a day and my friends still tell me how lucky I am to have my color skin and not having to wear a lot of make-up! Morning face wash is just luke warm water and a soft gentle scrub with my device that I bought for $200.00 and have had for a few years! Do the same thing at night!
Cherrie Dolan Cadran says:
Im 54 I feel my skin is in good condition but no disrespect to the model in the photo advertisement I dont want to get in that condition so I will be willing to try it.
Tula says:
Why would you start a new skin regimen at the same time you are reviewing this new device? It would have been more credible to have just tried out the device for the same time frame using your usual skin products …. Then it’s a good testament to the device’s effectiveness. The way you proceeded really does nothing to promote this device. Tula
rota cetle says:
We men accept the ugliness age brings upon us and women should do the same. If you want to die beautiful then kill yourself before you hit your 40s.
Pat Richards says:
I would have been interested. But I will not click twice to get a price.
Teresa Turner says:
Sorry Geri, looks like these women are on to you!!! Not many JeNu being bought on this site I see.

pialucca says:
um…are you kidding? the before and after pictures look exactly the same except that in the first there is make-up caked into the cracks. exercise, eat well, hydrate and treat your skin gently–and save the $200. We can all do things to look our best, but no device is going to make anyone look the same as they did 10 or 20 years ago. And there are more important things to do with your precious time than obsess on your looks. And seriously, “Hurry, the company told me this product won’t be around for long”? If it’s such a miracle, wouldn’t they want to sell as many as possible to aging women for ever?
Terry Robertson says:
Everyone with half a mind should be insulted by this claim, you can clearly see the “after” picture is shadowed to appear as if the wrinkles are gone, poor job of it but shadowed just the same. 🙁
cathy says:
Do you know if it is safe to use this devise if you have a pacemaker?
Debbie says:
Doesn’t look like the same spot that the photos were taken…
josie aguilar says:
if anyone is interested.. i am part of a company called nerium and our products are revolutionary.. they come with a 30 day money back guarantee and i can send you a sample if you are intersted in trying it out.. just go to my website http://www.seetobelieve.nerium.com and click on contact me.. go ahead and leave me your name & email and i can send you some info. i understand you might be skeptic because there are tons of products out there that claim to make a difference but really don’t. our motto is “give us a year and we will give you ten back” and i can definitely send you some videos to show you how it works! =)
TC Hollis Wagenstein Hurturk says:
The reader comments are well taken. Yet, despite the lighting differential, there does seem to be some improvement. I did notice that they touted “7 different studies”. I wonder if these studies were funded and/or conducted by the manufacturer, or if they were independent control studies. It would also be fair disclosure for Geri to reveal whether she was paid to do this trial, or if she received the equipment and other supplies free of charge. In addition, not all people respond and heal in the same way. It would be great if the manufacturer hosted a meeting for us where we could receive complimentary treatments to see how we respond to the device, and make a better buying decision. I don’t know for sure whether it works or not; IMHO we still need a little more information!
JRand says:
Occupational therapists use ultrasound to drive topical medications into the tissues. I don’t doubt that this system could work in a similar fashion.
Carin says:
Anything placed on our skin gets absorbed at the most within 26 seconds in to the cells and blood stream. And, that includes harmful chemicals such as man made perfumes and other ingredients found in most skin care products. I advise to contemplate what you put on your skin with or without this JeNu Infuser. If you use it with skin care products that contain ingredients harmful to our health, why send it in even quicker?
Beth_12 says:
I honestly don’t see any difference, other than the brighter lighting in the second picture, which masks some of her wrinkles.
KS_Mom says:
I use ultrasound as a therapeutic modality in an outpatient clinic of a hospital. I sent an email several weeks ago asking for specifics on this machine and I have not gotten any response. Can you tell me what the w/cm2, mHz, and duty cycle are? On our machine, we set them, depending on the depth of the tissue we are treating. I assume they are pre-set, I would like to know what they are. Also, there are precautions we follow with use of the ultrasound, such as not directing it at an eyeball, not using it near or on a tumor or infected tissue. I hope the instructions address this.
Linda Balzano says:
its the lighting. Snake oil!
kathleen says:
Go to your dermatologist, get a script for Retinal A, then buy Ponds dry skin cream and your moisture cream you like. Set for nice skin:) Script is $100.00 but last a very long time and… it works!
kathleen says:
bogus crap. Retinal A prescription only thing I found that helps mature skin. Stop all soap product. Ponds dry cream for cleanse.
Susan Dye says:
i have been blessed to live long enough to have seen products like this come and then go. They ususaly don’t deliver and if they do they don’t last long!
venicementor says:
Looking at the before and after, as photo director – I have to tell you – lighting is everything.
judie says:
Hair fluffed up, colorful bow in hair, these things plus background color make a big difference
Priscilla Rink says:
Have you noticed the bow in the hair? How about giving her the same hair…same lighting–without the hair band tied in a bow to hide the fact that her face is being ‘lifted’ by the headband pulling her face back. Sorry not buying this.
veritas says:
If you want products to be absorbed better, into your skin, try exfoliating. It’s that simple. The older we get, the slower we slough of dead skin cells. If you are not exfoliating, you are basically applying all of your products to dead skin cells. Exfoliate first, and then use your moisturizers, serums, etc. A wonderful exfoliant: sea salt, honey and a bit of olive oil. Warm it, apply to face and rub in. Wash off. Your skin will glow and be better able to absorb whatever you want to apply after that! Shouldn’t cost more than $2
Lenay L Henkes says:
Don’t bother with this, they were out years ago, what they do is stimulate blood supply that doesn’t take sagging skin away.
Westy J says:
the pictures are just too different with the lighting, the shadows, the hair. 1st pic hair is drab & dry w/ no product & some streaks of gray, the 2nd darker, shiny glossy with big colorful bow that throws brightness to the face. thats exactly why scarves are so huge in fashion. to brighten the facial area. why not do apples for apples, same exact picture. I won’t hesitate to buy then. Will buy in a second.
carol frysinger says:
unfortunately, for those of us over 60, living on $800.00 a month, this is not as important as food, which i also can’t afford. another instance of the “poor” being discriminated against because they can’t afford the good stuff. by the way, i’m disabled and can’t work so objects like these are forever out of my reach. sorry to sound bitter, but i am!
Guest says:
Nothing will make a product penetrate the skin if the molecules are too large or the product doesn’t contain penetration enhancers to get through the first layer of skin. I run a blog that tells the truth in cosmetics. Check it out here: http://queenofcreams.blogspot.com/
Westy J says:
coming over to hear the truth! thanks!!

Just joined you!
Renita Pedro Lombardi says:
I purchased Clarisonic: Sonic Skin Cleansing – Sonic Infusion two years ago and love it.Paid 200.00 but worth it.I’m 51.
Renita Pedro Lombardi says:
I own a Clarisonic: Sonic Skin Cleansing – Sonic Infusion. for the last two years .Paid 200.00 , I’m 51 worth! .. 😉
Polly Hall says:
These are my results using an all natural skin care product called NeriumAD…..the lighting is exactly the same in the before and after photos….I believe that is what people are wanting to see….
scalla says:
A eye brow arch and a smile would help this woman, also a more neat hair cut. Save the fly away hair looks for the teens, as they don’t give a crap about their face. Just their lives are too busy.
Gina Volk says:
Any advantages of JeNu over Clarisonics device?
Gina Volk says:
Any difference in the two? If you know. Thank you
LJC22 says:
photo is clearly edited.
Gina Volk says:
Doesn’t Clarisonic make a similar device?
Ria says:
Yes!
Bettina Carpio says:
LOL I’ve read all these comments and all I have to say is…… to each their own, let each individual try the product and decide if they like it or not…… I can’t believe all this drama!! it’s ridiculous!! so much stuff going on in the world and you guys are all arguing about a product for your wrinkles…… good grief!!
Debbie says:
The Real User photos on the JeNu website suffer the same problem of not appearing to compare apples to apples on the before and after which you might expect. That said, the clinical study photos on the JeNu website are better at representing true before and after, however there are only two, and they’re both only focusing on crow’s feet.
Lani Lee OBrien says:
They just switched up the lighting in the pics. Lighting changes everything!
Connie Pitts says:
Notice the drastic improvement of her neck. No lighting could make that big of a change. I have used ulstrasound on my neck before, and the ring lines on my neck disappeared. I was using it for pain, but noticed the reduction of wrinkles on my neck as a bonus. So, yes, I do believe this product will work.
Amy VanKleeck says:
Geri, Would you be able to share with us what beauty products you use with the device?
Geri Brin says:
Hi Amy,
Just saw this. Sorry I did not respond sooner. I rotate products, but the ones I’m using now are Pure Marula Facial Oil, Biossance, and a new product called ERASA.
Best, Geri
Lynn Korbel says:
Obviously lighted differently in the “before” and “after.” Light them both the same way if you want to convince me.
Lannie Lane says:
I’m sorry but why can’t they just use the same lighting then there wouldn’t be all this back and forth about if it really works! If it works then it works. Why is there just one photo why not convince us with other pix?
tamcocar says:
This is such bull. You can buy one of those ‘devices’ on ebay for $10 and their magic ‘conducting’ gel is probably any old oil free gel. (you need that to get those magic facial exercise machines to work too). I’ll try my $10 machine & my high quality moisturizer & let you know. Anything to take advantage of aging women’s insecurities. : Better to spend the $200 on a visit to a psychiatrist if you spend it on that.
Donna Palmer Oldham says:
As a photographer, side lighting highlights and eccentuates texture (or wrinkles in this instance), and front on lighting flattens and diminishes texture….exactly the effect seen here with a bit of ambient shadowing from an above light source, but you can clearly see the pin point of light in her eyes from the directly in front light source.
Carole Moran-Krumbholz says:
with or without lighting, there’s a change for the better. I’m in! I’ve done some research on this technology, and it DOES help with a deeper absorption of your skin care products. I use SkinCeuticals Anti-Aging products and while its an excellent line if I can use this product to help with absorption, I think Im going to achieve amazing results.
Jan says:
I see no difference
Jan says:
I am sorry but that poor woman needs more than JeNu – she is scary looking not a good representation for your ad. Because of that before and after I would not at all be interested in this product. Yikes!!!!
Vicky says:
How hateful. Pretty is as pretty does.
Susan Lynn Nicklas says:
squint your eyes and look at the difference in the lights and darks (just like artists do) and you can see that the shadow is much darker under the chin for example. harsher lighting was used in the before picture than in the after. It’s very obvious. It causes more contrast between light and dark, and the wrinkles are more visible. Clearly.
Cheryl Clark says:
There is really no difference when you look hard at the pictures.
Sandra says:
You have beautiful eyes, don’t you think you could achieve dramatic results with playing up your best feature and a more contemporary hair style with some highlights also. Your product sounds too good to be true.
Geri Brin says:
Hi Sandra,
Thanks for your compliment. The idea behind these photos wasn’t to show off my eyes or hair, but the difference in my skin tone etc after using JeNu. I wouldn’t walk to the mailbox looking like I do in these photos 🙂 JeNu’s is a genius product, but I still need makeup and a good hairstyle.
Best, Geri
kj12046 says:
I do photography, and I’m here to tell you the lighting is definitely different. The second picture also is a straight-on shot, the first one is not. There is a slight angle in the first one that will skew the real you. Lastly, in your second shot, your head is tilted slightly upward, which will also skew the result. The brighter light in the second photo will cover up more wrinkles. Without seeing the originals, it’s difficult to see whether the second photo has been doctored.
Kelly Reynolds says:
I can sell Ice to an Alaskan…..Send me one & I’ll try it…I hope it does work this well…If it does help with smile lines then I will Shout It from the Mountain Top.
Geri Brin says:
Hi Kelly,
The product has a 30-day money back guarantee. You should try it, and if you don’t like it you will have lost nothing. I love it. Despite the comments about lighting (I didn’t realize we had so many photo experts in our community!), the product is FANTASTIC!
Best,
Geri
Diana McCullough says:
If you just start using a moisturizer you will get these results, the difference in these pics are not that dramatic! I like Oil of Olay!! I wouldn’t use anything else!
Geri Brin says:
Hi Diana,
Moisturizer alone, without the proper ingredients, including Retinol, cannot possibly do this for your skin. Olay does not have Retinol or any other highly effective ingredients.
Geri
kaththee says:
SOME Olay products do contain retinol. The sonic wand cannot possibly do this for your skin either.
Angie Wallace says:
I like Oil of Olay also, but I just recently started using pure organic unrefined coconut oil and it is fantastic!! you should give it a try.:)
Reggie Teer says:
Forgive my skepticism, but you showed the same results (although with pictures taken daily for seven days) after you used a new Neutrogena line of skin care. Did you stop using it or did it stop working? Your “before” picture here looks just like the first picture in the series on the effectiveness of the Neutrogena line. I’m afraid that I do not trust your product recommendations now.
Geri Brin says:
Dear Reggie,
Neutrogena is a skin care line consisting of moisturizer, eye cream, etc. JeNu is NOT a skin care formula, but a sonic device to help skin care products such as Neutrogena to be absorbed better. I try different skin care products all the time and I loved Neutrogena. In fact, whether the product is Neutrogena, or any other, it needs help to be absorbed into our skin. If you read the JeNu article, it explains this.
Best,
Geri Brin
Ria says:
Obviously MOST of these people are distracted by the lighting. A new “after” picture would alleviate these concerns if you were able to post this. But, I’m guessing you tried & couldn’t get as dramatic a photo so instead are beating us to death with how wonderful this “magic” wand is, unfortunately “The lady doth protest too much, methinks”
Teresa Owen says:
can i use this with my own products that are working by themselves but with this it would go faster right? i love my envy organics skincare line i will never give it up but i really want this to help out .
Sher says:
What about the mannequin mouth and the jowls ?
Geri Brin says:
Dear Sher,
The only thing that’s going to help those is plastic surgery.
Geri
patricia farmer says:
have you not nioticed also that one photo is up closer than the other one…No thanks, think I will keep my money
sistadana says:
Your upper lip is the best example in the difference in lighting. In the before, part of your upper lip clearly has sun on it, the rest in shadow. In the after, there is no contrast at all.
sistadana says:
Geri, you seem sincere, but the lighting is not the same. Please, take a look at the photos and tell me you do t see a difference…in the lighting. Show me pictures with the same lighting and then I’ll tell you if it works. Here’s how to do it. Stand at a window the same time of day for both photos, with your ear facing the window…..this way the light is flowing across your face. Make sure your hair is pulled back so it doesn’t cast shadows, or hide shadows. If you believe,in the product, isn’t it worth representing the product fairly?
Laurel Caplan says:
Sure, I know Dr. Zelickson at Zel Skin and Laser Specialists. He’ll sell anything to make money…I paid $4000.00 a few years ago for Fraxel Laser treatments and my sister and I compared the photos and there was no difference! HIgh prices for little results…I eat all organic food now and take organic supplements and my skin has never looked better!
Pat, Roanoke, Va says:
I found a similar product with brushes to stimulate absorption (by Olay) for less than $40, discovered on recommendation of a dermatologist on Dr. Oz—I have been using it about 2 years and think it is a big boost. It is widely available and, I think, does about the same service for much less cost.
Guest says:
She looks good, but I understand the comments about lighting. There are so many products that people get convinced to buy because of claims that are made and then the truth comes out that the consumer has been misled. As far as beauty treatments, most of them make claims that turn out to a far cry from the real results. I have been convinced too often that a particular topical cream will make the lines so much better, but again the reality is that I end up disappointed, as well as out a bunch of money. The truth be told, plain water can make skin look better for a second when it is thirsty. Lasting results are not really lasting. Wrinkles win in the end. That is just the facts.
Geri Brin says:
Dear Guest,
Thank you for your thoughtful comments.
The fact is that most women do not understand how and WHY our skin changes as we age and they don’t know which skin care ingredients to look for in a product, that can help their aging skin. They fall for all the advertising done by some big mass market brands, whose products DO NOT (repeat, DO NOT) contain ingredients that work for more than 20 minutes to puff out your face so your wrinkles look diminished.
Even if you use a skin care line with fantastic ingredients, such as pure Retinol (Neutrogena’s line has it and so does MD Complete, among others), you need help to have your skin absorb them properly. That’s what the JeNu is for. It is not a gimmick. Its Sonic wave technology makes it effective.
Best,
Geri Brin.
Donna Goldwasser says:
I have a professional photographer friend– and he also said the shadows are different, the back round & lighting are also a little different on the above before & after pics. PLUS– her hair is shorter, which gives a “lift” to the face. And lastly– her makeup is a little different too. The brows are more lifted on the after pic & looks like she has mascara smears on her before pic.
Westy J says:
yes, I noticed the hair also, it’s dry & drab in 1st picture. probably put some product in it to make the curls springier which would lift the hair. great observation. This woman is going to ruin her rep with this post.
Jen says:
What’s sad is, she has an awesome, awesome “over 50” website. Did I mention awesome? I know that we all want extra money, but we need to consider if we want to lose rep points while doing so.
Tammy says:
WOW you were right after 2 weeks there is a wonderful difference, I notice the most improvement in your lower face and neck.Hope you show more photos in another 2 weeks.Right now the price is a little out of my budget but in 2 months I’ll have saved enough and then I’ll be showing my before and afters.
Geri Brin says:
Hi Tammy,
Thanks Tammy. Let us know if you try it. There’s a 30-day money back guarantee.
Best,
Geri
greenbl says:
I will just use creams, and lotions, diet and exercise and let nature take its course…
pinecav says:
I think you look great! These kinds of products are the next generation of home use skin care products IMO. Thanks for the info; a little out of my budget for now!
Cathy Price says:
It should be affordable so that everyone can benefit.
FoodieJudy says:
What leading anti-aging serum is used with the JeNu Infuser?
Geri Brin says:
Hi FoodieJudy, I have been using MD Complete, which contains pure Retinol, among other potent ingredients. The products were developed by a leading dermatologist in Minneapolis. The majority of mass market skin care products that you can buy in the drug store, such as Olay and L’Oreal, do nothing whatsoever for aging skin, except perhaps superficially for a couple of hours after they are applied. They do not contain ingredients like Retinol, which has been clinically proven to improve skin that has lost elasticity, etc. As a journalist, I have been acquainting myself with the beauty business since I launched FabOverFifty five years ago and I want to give every one in our community the benefit of the research I have worked hard to gather.
Best, Geri Brin
FoodieJudy says:
Thank you Geri. Is there a guarantee on the device in question, what is the return policy?
karen says:
Geri, Thank you, thank you for sharing this impressive product with your readers! I am so impressed with the results and plan to buy ASAP. Even after reading all the odd comments from the negative Nancy’s, I re-looked at your before and after photos and can not imagine how they are able to blame the amazing results on lighting. Are they looking at the same photos i am? Please continue to share “finds” like this with your readers! I for one love hearing about products that actually work! Your before and after photos show me that this works! Don’t let the naysayers discourage you from sharing! Many thanks!
sistadana says:
Oh please. The lighting is clearly different. We are looking at the same photos. As an artist I can tell you I know of what I speak. I am not saying it’s intentional, but it is different.
Leslee Bean says:
You seem to be obsessed. Don’t buy the product if you don’t trust it. Soooooo simple.
sistadana says:
Why would you say I’m obsessed. If you want to suggest a product you believe in, then for the sake of the public and the product, why wouldn’t you do your best to represent the product in the most accurate way possible?? Geri seems like a sincere person. As I’ve said elsewhere. So, I’m sure she cares about representing the product well, as well as presenting the results to her audience in the most helpful way….or she probably wouldn’t be reviewing the product. Doesn’t that make sense? Why not heed the constructive criticism here, because there are plenty of people saying the same thing, and just go take a more accurate after??
K L Dawkins says:
Hmmm…the example pic is photo enhanced with brighter light that merely hides the same wrinkles that are still present…just another scam…nothing will convince me this product works…
Geri Brin says:
Dear KL Dawkins,
I’m delighted to tell you that the wrinkles you see in the before photo are greatly reduced, as you can see in the right photo. It is my face, which has not been enhanced with brighter light. Perhaps you should acquaint yourself with how sonic technology is being used in the beauty industry, even by board certified plastic surgeons. The JeNu device operates on the same principle as many of the devices these doctors use.There’s no hmmm about it, but please try to refrain from accusing anyone of “scamming” you. That’s really unnecessary. Best, Geri Brin, Founder, FabOverFifty.com
Ria says:
Then please post an after pic with at least somewhat similar lighting, diffusing, hairstyle, background etc.
Denise says:
I prefer Younique Uplift Eye serum….as a 63 year old I’ve found having used it only 2 weeks that my skin appears SO much better…younger, smoother, healthier!! …and, it’s only 65$ USD….nice!
Geri Brin says:
Hello Denise,
The JeNu Infuser is designed to work WITH your eye serum, and other skincare products, so that they are absorbed better by the skin. It is not a competitor to skincare products, but a valuable support system.

Barbara Zarcone says:
Hi Geri, does this device work in the way Titan works?
Susan Lynn Nicklas says:
that lighting is not the same ^ either. It may work but most of the before and after pictures that I’ve looked at were not photographed with the same lighting. In fact, I don’t think that i’ve seen a single one that has the same lighting. squint your eyes and notice the lights and darks.
Ria says:
But, again the lighting is soooo different. Why do these products do this? Oh, yeah for the dramatic difference.
Westy J says:
Again with the lighting! Why can’t you guys just do same lighting & show fair pictures. I can’t even believe this new picture…1st
picture has no serum on, lines look deep & dry & the lighting is crazy bright to show how bad they are, also
looking downward accentuates the lines. . 2nd pic is
greased up with the serum ( I know ‘cuz I have this
serum) when it is 1st put on skin looks glossy like that 2nd picture
& looking straight makes fine lines look less prominent…Denise is probably a Younique
rep/seller I bet.
MiaLM says:
For credibility’s sake, you should always put the dollar sign before the number. You’d think people trolling on American sites would know that by now!
Camille1526 says:
Hmm, I;m always confused by all these products. So I never wind up using anything and I’d love to! And I wouldn’t mind spending money on something that – worked. However, this doesn’t look like fillers to me. Although I am not an expert, just my opinion.
Heather says:
I use cupping for my face by Lure and their silicone cups not only improve collagen and elastin, they certainly improve the efficacy of my cream. It’s like yoga or exercise for the face, and their kits are inexpensive.
Donna Goldwasser says:
Heather– where do get the cupping?? I went to the Lure website but didn’t see what you were talking about! Thanks! Donna
kaththee says:
I would love to try these. I have used silicone pads for the décolletage area (from different vendors and all work the same) and my results have been remarkable. I can’t stand sleeping in them so I use them during the day under my clothes. They are expensive though and one pad doesn’t last all that long for me. I will give the ones for the face a try. I first tried silicone pads for a surgical scar on my arm. The technology is tried and true.
Wanda McDaniel Ward says:
It sounds like the product years ago called Dermatone and sounds really close to Suzanna Somers FaceMaster……this new product is not to much to get excited about its just another gimmick product. Spend your money on fillers that really do what they claim.
Geri Brin says:
Dear WWW,
nothing like Facemaster, which uses microcurrent. And certainly not a gimmick. Sonic technology in beauty is far from gimmicky once you understand what it does.

yousaidit says:
The woman in the pictures had Dermal Fillers done. She didn’t get those results from that gadget they are selling. Trust me, I’ve done a lot of research on fillers, and had them done myself. Just false advertising!!!
Dawn says:
Fyi, I have a similar device called a galvanic spa system and it works the same way, it took years off of my face, wrinkles, crows feet and sagging double chin, I didn’t have any work done, I don’t know about this product particularly but science has come a long way and I know there is a lot of false advertising out there and you need to be careful but unless you have used it yourself, you shouldn’t say its all fillers and such, you don’t know. My product has done what this product claims, I know because I use it and I have great results, not fake.

OMG! People…this is NOT a photography forum! Nor is it for picking apart her face & mirrors on laps. I use Jenu, Nuface and the Clarasonic opal. Great Jenu results, UNBELIVABLE Nuface results and can’t really tell w/ the Opal. I just now ordered the Contour Kinetic System (which, I’m SURE I’ll end up returning) to try. I DEFINATELY suggest Nuface for conturing and lifting and Jenu for all of the smaller areas that can’t be targeted by Nuface. Now, CHILL!
lbrhiannon says:
Oh! And DON’T buy ANY of it on Ebay or Amazon.

AND, I JUST now found this. So take your photographic comments & stick ’em you now where! (lighting experts!!!) http://faboverfifty.com/geri/beauty-tool-saving-neck/
Melinn2 says:
Dawn – I know the difference in the galvanic is you have to use their products and this system you can use any product. Since you have experience with the galvanic … which would you suggest to try?
Melinn2 says:
As one uses ultra sound and the galvanic uses current??
kaththee says:
Your results are not typical. Read the reviews on Amazon for a more representative sample of opinions.
Dawn says:
Hi Are you saying the reviews are bad on Amazon about he Galvanic face spa from nuskin? I just checked and they have excellent reviews, im just not sure what you meant? Thank you for your time.
Dawn says:
I also mean no disrespect to anyone. I don’t know about this product, what I was saying is I have something like it and how great it is and has worked for me. Its the galvanic face spa from the company nuskin. I have no stock invested nor will I gain anything for telling anyone it is amazing. Im all about sharing positive experiences to women who might wanna give it a try, im just saying it really worked for me and I just wanted to share the excitement. Read the reviews on Amazon and Nuskin.com Science really has come a long way. Try it, don’t try it, I just know the system I use from Nuskin works, I don’t know about this one. You ladies have a great day!
Geri Brin says:
DEAR YOU SAID IT.
I HAVE NOT HAD A SINGLE DERMAL FILLER WHATSOEVER. I explained in the article that the JeNu device, combined with the MD Complete skin creams I am using, produced the results. Regardless of your research, your statement is completely FALSE.

Tricia says:
Geri, I think you are fabulous and very brave. It baffles me why
“subscibers” like “Ria” and others who emulate her or share her “views”, are even reading your blog. They are so quick to be ugly instead of caring about the way they are acting and portraying themselves to the world. No one forced any of you to subscribe here or to read Geri’s blog. Its obvious that many of you think that you can do better, so please go
ahead… No one wants to hear the negativity and the insults. You are bullies; adult, middle-aged bullies…and yet Geri still answers your insults with respect. Get over the lighting. Get over yourselves. Start your own beauty blog since you’re all experts! Don’t want the device? Here’s a crazy thought…don’t order it!…and don’t post ugly comments!… allow everyone else to read the blog without having to see the ridiculously juvenile rants. You should be ashamed.
kaththee says:
One should never be ashamed of telling the TRUTH. She is selling something and it is a lie. Shame on you.
Leeny2 says:
If she had had filler done, she would look much better than she does. I don’t see a difference between the two photos, but it’s only been two weeks. I get filler done twice a year. Putting filler in the upper part of her face (cheekbone area and tear troughs) would have given her face a lift and minimized the general sagging and nasolabial folds. A drop should be put in the folds, as well. Some botox would soften her crowsfeet.

Cathy says:
What some of these critics do not understand is that some of these creams, ointments, tools, etc have the power to lighten up skin and dark spots as well as help to lift the skin and eliminate some of the wrinkles and sags. So while they are being so critical of the ‘lighting’ and calling this a scam, Geri, just know that anyone who has done any research on any products would know that their criticisms are unfounded. These kind of tools and products have been around for 30-40 years and have only improved over the years and YES, they work. Don’t let them get your goat!! They obviously do not know what they are talking about. Some people are just bashers!
laurie says:
I did purchase one yesterday and it is returnable to Neiman Marcus. Sold at Nordstroms as well and returnable, so it is definitely worth a try.
laurie says:
Sorry if you have already posted, but which MD products are you using? I tried the JeNu once, really didn’t feel anything, but did the suggested water test, (which worked) and don’t know if it was my imagination, but my undereyes looked a bit better

Nancy L. Rattigan says:
Why is the lighting never the same?
Ria says:
Because then the before & after wouldn’t look SO dramatic!
Nancy L. Rattigan says:
Exactly. If you want to convince me, the lighting has to be identical as well as the background and the clothing. That’s when the real before and after can be compared.
Ria says:
Exactly! Make them match & I don’t care so much about the clothing as just similar hues (i.e. I look sickly in green but, much better in pink or red) then if I see such a dramatic change? You may get that commission from my purchase. BTW, how much of a reimbursement or paid commission is involved here. Full disclosure would be ethical.
Westy J says:
I like the way you think Ria.
venicementor says:
“Ethical?” Why, what eva do you mean? LOL

Sara Miller says:

Geri Brin says:
Hello Ria,
It’s my face and the reason these photos look dramatically different is not the lighting. They were both taken in my living room in exactly the same spot. It’s because the product works, in conjunction with the skin care products I am using, which have great ingredients like pure Retinol. Please read the article.
Best,

Tamra says:
I think what’s bothering folks is the shadow on the left side of your face in the before photo isn’t there in the after photo (Your left, my right). It’s definitely a shadow and not just the condition of your skin. Maybe you were facing at a slightly different angle?
littleblacksnake says:
The lighting on the after picture appears to be coming from above.
kaththee says:
The lighting in the after photo is diffused. Above lighting isn’t flattering either. It is better than being lit from below as you see in her “before” photo. Nothing is worse than up lights. I am sure there is more to the “after” photo than lighting. She might have purposely dehydrated herself for the before photo. Or she could have taken the first photo immediately after waking up when wrinkles are worse from laying on the pillow. Who knows? But that little sonic thingy didn’t do the trick. Read the online reviews. I feel sorry for people who believe this crap.
Ria says:
Sorry, Geri if you had exactly the same lighting then there wouldn’t be all the comments about it. Give it a try & repost some of those pics. The difference in lighting is obviously notable. If it wasn’t people would not have commented so much on it.
Njp Thompson says:
I agree. The angle of the lighting on the face is important to show or hide wrinkles. Why do you think they have so many lighting professionals in entertainment? People get old. You can control a lot of sagging-and ugliness by staying out of the sun, controlling your intake of foods, hydrating, eating healthy, and getting sleep. No matter what your age. And many attractive sexy old people are VERY WRINKLED. It is who they ARE that matters most.
Sally Marie Amore says:
I agree with Njp. I am a 57 year old, professional esthetician. Good nutrition, sleep, managing stress, and your emotions all play a HUGE part in the maturing process. There is no magic wand that erases time!! You have to take good care of yourself, and embrace each stage of your life with total acceptance of who you are, and understand that your value is not hinged on externals!
Allyson Diva says:
I do not quite agree with this.
While the most important thing is accepting and loving ourselves, and there is no miracle one time treatment that solves all aging issues…
There ARE indeed technologies that can vastly improve the appearance of women d’une certain age and above.
The trick is – and here is where I will agree with you – it is much easier to PREVENT the signs of aging, than the REVERSE them – although some of them can indeed be reversed to an extent.
Retinol, red light, ultrasound, microcurrent, and home lasers – yes, they absolutely do work and depending on your diligence, they can work amazing well and make a visible difference in a person’s appearance.
I started working to preserve my appearance in my mid-forties and it has paid off for me.
I encourage women at that age to start thinking ahead, while they still look young, to research the treatments or programs that will work for them.
Mickey Kilcoyne Neil says:
If both pictures were in the exact same spot…. why are the chairs different? The high back bownish chair will make your neck look wider compared to the lower back orange looking chair. Also, it is easier to photo shop a picture with a white background around the head. Not saying you did, just making a statement.
Westy J says:
I was thinking the same thing, how can someone say the same spot, when it is obvious that it isn’t.
Kat Mando says:
Even the fact you pulled your hair back would make you look different. Send me one for free and I’ll get back to you.
Diana McCullough says:
Oh, so you don’t believe in the product because of the lighting but you want her to send you one for free? What a loser!
Ria says:
Disbelief & hey why not try it out for free. See for yourself. Maybe a 90day free trial? If its everything its claimed to be I can’t see the risk for the person peddling it. If it really does all its purported to do? Then you have a product already out there & a guaranteed sale. Unless, of course its not a magic wand after all.
Kat Mando says:
What stake do you have in my comment? If I truly wanted this product, I could afford to purchase it. My tiny little violin plays for your gullible self.
Amy says:
What stake do you have being negative and nasty on someones blog, when you aren’t even interested in the product. Her hair is barely pulled back, you can actually see more defined lines on her forehead in the after picture, the lighting is not that much different..all three pictures demonstrate some pretty hard white light. The first pic has it coming in from more on the side, but it’s hitting her square on the skin, the others are coming down, which would cause wrinkles to show more shadows anyhow. Honestly, whats your point everyone. This was clearly about a beauty product that through her personal use she loved, so shes writing a blog on it. All of you have a lot of time on your hands to be inspecting pictures and lashing out like it’s a conspiracy. Don’t buy it, no one is pushing it, dont use it, but keep your miserable suspicious comments to yourself, it’s not like she’s hawking it, or hawking some cleanse and miracle weightloss pill. I will try it, My Physical therapist uses ultrasound wave technology to deliver a cream pain med to my back because it is more efficient and effective…seems a similar process….and if I’m already dishing out $1000s of dollars on the best creams and serums…why not spend another $200 on an asset that will last several years and possibly make them more efficient and more worth the money…Do my due diligence, look for more reviews and see if there is any negative “real” press on it. And thank this woman for putting herself and her makeup-less face up for all to see, in harsh white light….so I could learn that the product even exists and use my own critical thinking without being snotty. one after the other of you…honestly. For what? White harsh light is white harsh light….she could where the same clothes and same hair and same exact perfectly angled harsh white light and suddenly 1/2 of you skeptics will believe her? and not even wonder if it’s photoshopped? honestly, just typing to hear yourselves “talk” and knock someone when they are putting it out there, in a humble, non agressive manner. Just trying to share some interesting facts and share and interest product.
Steve Nordquist says:
Kat wasn’t actually negative. I think I could wind some of that up having read ‘Mandarine Serum’ (and not the comic book where it’s revealed what that is; thanks for the link that might have had citations to explain it (not yet it hasn’t, no;) but I can say:
tl; dr–not shaving 10 minutes of moisturizing fuss either
switching to yerba mate tea rather than green tea before 3 (PM, f’rexample.)
good job at Geri warming up the camera again, keep on…
Westy J says:
you should learn to read better. she didn’t say that she didn’t believe in the product, she just made a statement of a beauty fact of how pulling back your hair makes a difference as well as different lighting, clothing colors, etc. you shouldn’t be so rude & nasty anyway.
GeriFOF says:
Bravo bravo Diana! Geri Brin
Guest says:
The irony is how you jump & celebrate one person’s support but, choose to ignore the rest of the comments. Look at the number of up votes simple lighting correction requests have gotten. If this thing was really the “Game-Changer” your reimbursed claim states, you would be posting more after photos & ensuring the lighting & hair were as similar as possible.
My only thought at this point is, if this were my blog, simply pull this post, unless, of course, you’ve made so much commission it makes this ongoing conversation worth it?
Oh & nice to block Ria when all she was doing was responding to you.
sistadana says:
The lighting is different. I don’t care if they were both taken in your living room. In the before. Light is coming from the left, slightly from the rear, some areas are bright, others dark. In the second photo, there is overall less contrast. Now, it may be that there are fewer wrinkles, but, from the lighting, it is impossible to tell
Ria says:
So you don’t see a difference between the pictures other than what you are purporting as these miraculous changes? I would be happy to draw circles around every difference that has NOTHING to do with your wand! The before picture is harsher lighting whether you were sitting directly under a bare light or not. The after picture is diffused light, possible facing a different direction. It can’t be the same spot unless you were slid down in the chair in the “Before” and sitting up straight in the after (chair back is missing). I did not claim you intend to mislead or photo shopped but, at this point after all the comments & your various protests . . . . I recommend a retake of the after in just as harsh & direct light as the before. I mean by now the difference should be even more extreme with another week of use & improvement. Please at least share the level of reimbursement you are receiving for promoting this product. Even the Chicken Chick in the interest of full disclosure advises the ads on her page are paid ads with some very nice freebies.
Ria says:
just your eyes no surrounding wrinkles! see the lighting difference yet?
Therese Christensen says:
Holy hell! That product made her nose straighter too! Oh, wait, no…it’s the lighting again. Sorry 😉
Bodyn Soil says:
I noticed the same thing too.
Bodyn Soil says:
Not using eyeliner under the bottom lashes would also make her look younger. There are so many things that could be related to improved skin tone, like hydration via ingested water.
Susan Lynn Nicklas says:
we can SEE the difference in the shadows.
seriously…
Beth_12 says:
Sorry Geri, not buying it. If the photos were taken in exactly the same spot, why does the sofa not appear over your shoulder in the second picture, and why is there some sort of wall decoration in the second photo (above the left side of your head) that does not appear in the first.
kaththee says:
Maybe the same room and the same spot but the LIGHTING is different. You are under lit in the first photo which always accentuates wrinkles, bags and other issues. In the after photo you are lit with a light kit with a diffuser- you know that big umbrella next to the light. You can get the same results by placing a lamp on the floor in the before photo and then use a professional light kit (about 80 dollars) in the after photo- no device needed at all.
Allyson Diva says:
I agree that ultra sound is effective, but there are other, potentially better or cost effective products for the same purpose and possibly a better rpcie.
I laugh when one of these products hits the the US market – usually, the technologies have been used in Europe, especially France or Italy, for years before they hit the US, and the are marketed here like they are a Great New Discovery.
Ultrasound, sonic cleansing, red lights, laser, microcurrent – all old hat in Europe to keep women looking great and here in the US they push them like they are amazing never before heard of ideas.
They’re all effective, but ladies, shop around, do your research before making the choices that are right for you. Caveat Emptor!!!
Eliza says:
Allyson, Thanks for the info that gets to the gist. Do you know names for these ultrasound, red light, laser, microcurrent products that have been used successfully in Europe–or do you know of a good resource to find this info?
Geri Brin says:
Hi Nancy,
The lighting was the same, in my living room, in the same location. There was nothing gimmicky about this. The product is genius. I adore it and use it every day.
Geri Brin
Ria says:
How did you get it diffused so nicely? Sorry there is a difference & even if the first one was sitting directly under the light in the brown chair & the second was facing a white wall with the light bouncing off of it, there is a difference.
Nathalie says:
You are some very obbsessed lady with lighting. just dont buy the product and move on with your life. your such a waste.
Killashandra says:
Geri – Sorry. I’m a photographer. This is a classic lighting trick that we ALL use to make people look younger. But, I don’t like to call people liars, so I’ll assume that the lighting WAS the same. However, you sat slightly more back from the light source in the second photo (reference the shadows on your forehead in the second shot). Also, there was a white reflector or a flash unit used in the second shot to push more light into the frame. The tell tale is in the eyes … there is obviously a light source in FRONT of them in the second shot. There was no light in the eyes in the first photo, but there is an obvious reflection of a very bright frontal light source in your eyes in the second photo. Seriously. If you want us to believe you, take another photo using the exact same before and after conditions. There might be some difference from the product, but the dramatic difference is in the lighting in this shot.
kaththee says:
Thank you for that information. I am not a professional photographer but have used a light kit and I know how a diffuser works. Plus I have eyes. I don’t like calling people liars either but people lie especially for monetary gain.
mary says:
I have taken before and after pics EXACTLY in the same spot & I don’t think my after pics have EVER come out EXACTLY (lighting, glare, shadows, etc) no matter how hard I tried.
?: do you use this FIRST before you apply your products?
?: where can I order the gel. I’ve looked at website and all come out with the Jenu applicator which I already bought. I think I accidently threw away my gel so I haven’t been able to use it because 1) it says it’s not supposed to be used without the gel and 2) I haven’t found where I can buy just the gel! Can you please send me a link to buy the gel? Text it to me at 351-944-3818. Thanks! I’m excited to use it but haven’t been able to without the gel.
?: what can u use for the lips? I used it alone (with gel when I still had it) and saw no difference so I’m thinking I may need to buy a product. I thought it would plump my lips a tad like the website said but it didn’t. I’m 61 so I contribute that to my age! lol no not lol I should put tears! Ha!
Anyway please text me a link or just put your recommendations here! My email is maryleepena@aol.com.
Thank you! May I recommend you just pull those pics that seem to have upset some of the ladies and re-post new ones! I’ll be happy to post mine once I can finally start using mine.
God bless you and ALL the ladies searching for products that will help us all look and feel better about ourselves!

Diana Kay Hoskins says:
There is always someone who has to say something negative. The lighting is the same people. Anyone can see that. You can see the lighting shining down on her forehead and nose in basically the same way in both pictures. And the clothes?? I don’t see anything in her clothes in the picture on the right that is any better than the clothes on the left?? unless you are talking about the freakin orange bow?? Both pictures are ‘in your face’ photos, not glamour shots by any means.
Nancy L. Rattigan says:
If you can’t tell that the photo on the right is lighter, then you need your eyes examined. Frankly, I’m not impressed with either photo.
Ria says:
If you really believe your statement & see no difference in the lighting then YOU definitely need to buy this product. But, the rest of us see harsher more direct lighting, along with an uplift to the corners of her mouth (this creates a subtle deepening in laugh lines & nasal labial folds) where as her after photo the lighting is diffused. But, please buy this & tell us how wonderfully this works. I personally do not have $100s to throw around on something I only see a minor difference which even as she said could be this new face regimen & have NOTHING to do with this pricey lotion spreader.
Westy J says:
there are just too many people that are aware here. It is so obvious, how can you say that you don’t see it. are you selling this product also or getting a cut?
kaththee says:
Are you blind? Do you own stock in the product? Whatever you are, you are not a photographer. The “before’ photo uses up lighting and the second “after” uses a light diffuser. Take a photo of yourself with a lamp on the floor nearby. In the second photo put a mirror in your lap and shine it toward your face as a make shift diffuser. See the difference in the two photos. It will be very dramatic. That 200 dollar wand didn’t erase wrinkles. If you believe that it did then I want to tell you about some money my family has stuck in Africa. All you need to do is give me your bank info and I will fill it full of money which we can split later.
ChefPattyO says:
ok ms.nasty…no she is not blind because I am also a photographer and she is correct the lighting is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT in these 2 photos! She has a cast of shadows on the first and the light is dead on her face on the second pic and very bright! A diffuser would not get rid of a shadow like in the first picture.You do not have to be so rude to people .Not to say the product does not work .We are just saying the lighting is not exactly the same is all.If you tip the back of your screen back you will see this pic start to turn into what looks like a negative,that will show you how the lighting is different in both pics by the two darker areas.Not the same.
Suellen McCollim says:
I am a professional portrait artist, and I can tell you the lighting is extremely different. The before picture has harsh, bright light and the second is shadowed. Not the same, sorry.
Lily J says:
I agree the lighting is not the same. That’s obvious. There is way more light in the first picture shining on her right side of the face. I don’t even know how it can be claimed otherwise! Having said that, I do see some difference in the two photos. I wouldn’t pay that much money, but there is a noticeable difference. And if she is happy, then that’s all that matters!
Sue Lawson says:
You’re right. The after picture is brighter and has less dark shadow. Hmmmm
Susan Lynn Nicklas says:
I noticed that too. It’s a lighting trick to make the results look better than they really are. I never buy any products that do that. I don’t care how good it is!
Westy J says:
exactly! I never buy any products that do this trickery with lighting & positioning. They underestimate our intelligence & awareness…Just ‘cuz we’re aging doesn’t mean we are blind & senile lol…

Because:
bright direct light shows all your wrinkles and your nasty skin, while subdued light and some Photo Shop sucks you in and hooks you like a Big Mouth Bass caught on a serious three prong barbed hook…omg…lmao.

Theresa, make up isn’t great for your skin. Too many people spackle on the foundation. I thought the same thing about my Clarisonic…which I have had for over 13 years…just changing the heads and charging…that’s it…I expect, when you take good care of things, they should last you a long time. Make up goes bad.
Therese Christensen says:
I don’t wear foundation, and make the rest of my own make up..except mascara…I haven’t mastered that yet. 😉
Magdalena Livolsi says:
1) no makeup with GOOD for the skin. Some are better than others to wear…but none are considered GOOD for skin. Or to sleep in the makeup. 2) Not sure what your experience with the Clarisonic was ? Ria…there are brushed for sensitive skin..and that’s perhaps what you should have looked into …but I’ve had mine for over 20 years, and I cannot say enough about it. I use it twice a day…my pores are clear, my skin is firm, I am 57 and get mistaken for late 30’s early 40’s..I got the wand today…and used it last night with my ARBONNE products…WONDERFUL….you ladies need to pamper yourselves more. It’s not vanity…it’s your RIGHT

Makeup can be good for your skin especially makeup with SPF. The immediate benefits of looking better can encourage women and girls to reapply and the SPF can keep the skin young, healthy and cancer free. Every time I have left the house, I have worn foundation with SPF for 20+ years and lipsticks with SPF since it was first sold in the 80s. My skin looks a lot better than the model. My mother’s skin (also has worn SPF foundation for decades) looks much better than the model as well and she is 76.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SLEEPING IN MAKEUP.
Medical Aesthetician says:
Never mind the lighting, which definitely is a key component in the after photo. Maybe taken in the same place but at a different time of day which influences the lighting. The main point of concern here is none of that. Nothing can penetrate the skin to the deeper layers of the skin where it is needed to stimulate the production of complex proteins like collagen and elastin to improve the skin unless the Ph of the product is low enough and unless the molecule is small enough. No product over the counter is going to have a product with a Ph low enough to do this. Nor will they have molecules small enough to penetrate. Its like trying to push a basketball through a keyhole. While I do believe the sonic instrument could have some value to it if used with professional products, using it with just any over-the-counter product will not be effective. It can be compared to using a prescription product vs. a non-prescription product. As a professional Medical Aesthetician who has practiced medical aesthetics for more than 25 years, the verdict is still out on this instrument unless used with medical quality ingredients.

It depends on the make-up. Some is good for your skn.
Ria says:
Maybe my bad experience with my Clarisonic is coloring my feelings about this, too.
NYDogWhisperer says:
Someone just said they love their clarisonic..had it 13 years.
Ria says:
Love that if I had the same experience but, mine crapped out after only 2.
Ria says:
That’s great but, that is NOT my experience. Contacting their customer NO service has been just as rewarding!
Ria says:
Not my experience. I have reached out to their “customer service” several times with NO response.

Ginnie Ducar says:
Dearest Laura, I am an average looking slightly pretty 57 yr old woman. I do have my share of wrinkles but am fortunate to have fairly nice skin and a nicely defined jawline with a fairly firm neck. My problem is I just do not know how to photograph well. I ALWAYS look like I have gas or am just fresh from a sick bed. The ONLY time I ever look GOOD in a photo is outdoors on a sunny day when I am totally unaware someone is taking my picture. PLEASE oh PLEASE share your tips with me. I would like just one or two nice pics to celebrate my 10th Anniversary with my husband (coming up in Nov.)and would give anything to have just one photo come out looking nice.My email is gleeducar@gmail.com and you can always find me on Facebook under Ginnie Ducar. I am the only one. I would be in your debt and forever your friend. Thank you, I hope you get this message.
Cat says:

kaththee says:
Why bother with the makeup. You can get the same results with a cheap light kit (about 80-100 dollars) or you can make your own light diffuser by placing a mirror on your lap for the after photo. All the wrinkles will magically disappear.
Sue says:
Usually the before picture is taken in harsh direct lighting and the after is indirect light that is usually placed behind the subject. A photographer taking my picture did my photo this way when I did not like any of the other photos he took of me and BINGO we had a winner!
