Cancelling my order.....

For special reasons I had to cancel my order with the company - and I was met with nothing but kindness and full understanding with their professional the customer service. I also received all the information and help I needed - and everything went very smoothly!
They are the best people I have encountered in customer service in many years! Other companies can really really learn from them!

Video a real turn off.

The video needlessly repeats same phrases ad infinitum, which began to sow doubts.
You really should fire your PR.
Now read most reviews from people who have only used product for a day or two and are waiting to see if lives up to expectations! Why review at this stage? Can they be genuine, as is pointless. More telling is purchasers being unable to cancel subscriptions and get refunds for a product they are unhappy with.
I think that says it all

Do not like the smell

Just started to use the product so too early to tell whether it is good. However I certainly do not like the smell of all three products I am trying including firm and restore formula, firm and restore formula night and the hydrating serum.

Surprised

I purchased the firm and restore formula with scepticism, but intrigued enough to give it a try.
I’ve not been disappointed my skin after a week is definitely feeling so
much smoother and firmer. I so glad I took the plunge.

Rip-off

The Chelsea Laboratory's Firm and Restore Formula is an absolute rip-off. It is thin and weak and does nothing. I have been using it for weeks but won't have the wool pulled over my eyes again.

I’m so happy I purchased the 6 bottles of firm & restore formula, I’ve had red lumpy blotches on my face for a few years I was told it was sun damage by doctors & nothing can be done, also red marks were my glasses sit all blotches had dry rough surfaces but I’m so glad I took a chance on this as with anything you order online your weary of the outcome, but I have to say honestly within 2-3 days the dry risen red patches on my face are now nearly flat yes I can still see them but they have faded to more a pink than red colour, it’s early days but to touch them I can hardly feel them now there pratically flat & the dryness has al most disappeared, I also received the firm & restore eye cream & 60 complete beauty formula supplement’s which I take twice daily, i’m really looking forwards to see the long term effect, give it a go you won’t be disappointed.

Wow Amazing Results

I was looking forward to receiving my product but unsure if it would work. Wow I could not believe it. After a week I recognised myself again. My skin is so smooth and healthy. Youthful! Then I noticed a change in my eyes. The bags gone and my eyebrows lifted. My eyes look wide open again. It really works. It definitely has the wow factor for me.

Wonderful Skin Care Product

Thank you very much for sending the Firm and Restore Formula so quickly. I loved using it! It is so easy to apply and my skin feels ultra smooth even after such a short time. I can't wait to see how it will be in a few weeks' time - and on the photos when my son gets married!

I really appreciated the information, contained in the video, about the structure of skin, how it changes over time, and how it can be helped to recover to the best it can be.

Miracle cream

Hi I have received my firm & restore two days ago and I’m sure I can see a slight difference after just this short time as my lines around the side of my mouth appear less obvious, I know this may sound unreal but I’m not a person that is easily fooled so this review is a true statement of my findings up to now.
I will definitely review in a few more weeks so I can update of how I’m going on with this cream I do have high hopes.
I have tried numerous other expensive creams over the years
I am in my late 60’s who is looking for any help to improve my skin texture also the ageing process and I think I may have just found it.
The cream is a lovely texture also does not leave a tacky feeling at all seems a winner to me.

Dear Annette,

Thank you so much for sharing your early experience with the Firm & Restore Cream! We're thrilled to hear that you’re already noticing a difference in just a couple of days — especially around those more stubborn areas like the mouth lines. Your thoughtful and honest feedback means a lot, and we completely understand your cautious optimism — it’s wonderful to hear this is standing out after trying so many products over the years.

We’re really pleased to know you're enjoying the texture and how it absorbs beautifully without any tackiness. It definitely sounds like you're on the right track, and we can’t wait to hear how things progress over the next few weeks. Please do keep us updated — we're rooting for your skin goals every step of the way!

EMAILS RETURNED EVEN THOUGH ADDRESS COPIED AND PASTED FROM THEIR SITE.E

I boughT the day and night cream and found I had some issues with itching. I approached the customer service and was told that I had 180 days in which to try the creams and request a refund if still not happy with the product. I gave the product another try and slowly tried to acclimatise to it but I am still not happy about the way it feels on my skin and it has not done anything to improve it. I now find that there is no reply from Chelsea laboratory and emails are being returned unable to deliver. I spent a lot of money on these products but it seems that they have no intention of refunding my money. (Some £400 in total in two separate order for the two products - day and night creams). This company cannot be trusted. It is not a British company as it seems to suggest in its long winded and time consuming advertising. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KEEP THEIR PROMISE OF REFUND IF NOT SATISFIED FOR ANY REASON. My last email was returned on 31st July 2025.

Hi there
I have just received my firm ànd restore cream. I have used it three times so far and am pleased with the results. I think the fine lines around my eyes are reduced and my cheeks look smoother. Im hoping this is just the beginning of a more youthful skin. It looks promising at this early stage.

Extremely good face cream

The product is superb. The customer service is very good. I had an issue and it was solved immediately, exceeding my expectations. I was wary at first as the products seemed 'over hyped / over marketed'. I genuinely recommend the products and have been told by many friends that my skin looks amazing. Would advise anyone to try this face cream, it is a game changer. X
