Lovely Texture
Im only on day 3 so not expecting results yet. However I love the texture of this cream and the ease of use. It glides across the skin easily with no roll off and soaks in quickly.
My skin is silky soft after use and my husband is even using it which in itself is miracle.

Dear Christine,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
We love that you’re already enjoying the texture and how easily the cream absorbs—those little details really make a difference in a daily routine. It’s great to hear your skin is feeling silky soft so early on, and we completely agree—day 3 is still just the beginning, so there’s more to look forward to!
And we have to say, hearing that your husband is using it too definitely made us smile—that’s a win in itself 😊
We’d love to hear how you get on over the next few weeks. Thanks again for your lovely feedback and for giving it a try!
Warmest regards,

I love the Chelsea Laboratories product…
I love the Chelsea Laboratories product that I'm using. This is my second purchase from them, the first being some 18 months ago. Since then, I've tried various moisturisers, but none have come close to this one: my skin feels softer and hydrated.
And they're vegan, which is important to me.

A positive start
I have only recently received my order of Firm and Restore, so haven’t yet had a chance to see how effective it is, but my initial impression with The Chelsea Lab has been most positive with the personal touch of someone contacting me to answer any questions and following up. The delivery wasn’t exactly next day but I was kept informed as to when delivery would be so it wasn’t an issue. I am looking forward to using the products (the eye formula and firm and restore ) - having had all my queries about ingredients put to rest - and hope to see results in the next couple of months. It would be helpful if the directions for use were printed on the bottles themselves rather than me having to check an email. Here’s hoping for that youthful glow!

You lost me in the too lengthy ad.
I 100%agree with Sian Gardners review. The ad is WAY TOO LONG and REPETITIVE!! Get to the point!! I actually want to try this product bc the reviews are good BUT because of the annoying advertisement I just can’t! Too bad you lost me in 5 min of a beautiful story that just wouldn’t end.
On a side note though, the model you used is absolutely STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL! She looks amazing.

Advert too long, looks like a scam
As yet I’ve not bought the product due to my annoyance at how long the advert is. It feels incredibly manipulative and up to this point I still have no idea how much the product costs or what is contained. In disgust I switched to Trustpilot to see the reviews. I was surprised to see there were satisfied customers in terms of the product but that service levels were poor with lots of negative feedback on ordering. I feel highly sceptical about the claims most of these products make and to me this advert’s repetition and long reveal felt very exploitative. The company need to stop treating their customers like unintelligent fools. It looks and feels like a scam and I think you’ve probably lost customers because of it

Absolutely incredible!!
I have only started using the Firm and Restore formula for a couple of weeks now and I am already surprised at the results. Not only can I see a difference but one of my colleagues asked if I had recently had some work done on my face as she said I looked so fresh! I have even recommended that she try it for herself. I am blown away by the results!

Firm and Restore amazing product
I was initially a little sceptical about the product but after a couple of weeks of using the Firm and Restore formula my skin already feels a lot smoother and firmer. The cream is a little thicker than my regular skincare but it absorbs well and feels lovely on my skin. I feel I may have been expecting miracles, but at the age of 58 years I do think the appearance of my wrinkles and fine lines are a little less visible even though I have only been using the firm and restore formula for a short period of time. So far I have not been disappointed and will continue to use the product and hopefully see more amazing results!

Dear Julie,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Firm and Restore Formula. We truly appreciate you giving it a try, especially after feeling a little sceptical at first.
We're so pleased to hear that after a couple of weeks your skin is already feeling smoother and firmer, and that you're enjoying how the cream absorbs while still feeling nourishing on the skin. It’s also wonderful to hear that you’re beginning to notice a softening in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
While everyone’s skin is different and results can develop gradually over time, many customers find that continued use helps support even more noticeable improvements. We’re delighted that your experience so far has been a positive one, and we hope you continue to see great results as you keep using the formula.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback!

I placed an order for a single bottle…
I placed an order for a single bottle of Firm and Restore. I ended up with two extra bottles which were charged to my credit card. The first bottle came to my correct mailing address and the second two bottles were sent to my billing address. I reached out to mention this and was told to return the two bottles for credit. When I requested a paid return label I was told that that was not available and to just keep the two bottles as a measure of goodwill; and that my credit card would be credited for those two bottles. I appreciate the quick response and the opportunity to keep the extra product!
JOAN was kind and efficient!

Lost the will to live..
I was tempted to try this product but after the looooooong advert which went on and on and on I lost the will to live. As Marjorie posted (a few days ago) it's a ridiculously long promotion and I also didn't watch till the end. Surely the Chelsea Lab could shorten the length of the promo - and pay the woman less - hence reduce the price of the product.
An addition to my review above. After posting it I went on to Trust Pilot and read other negative reviews especially about the length of the promo dating back several months. On them all Chelsea Laboratory responded and replied they would take on board the issue and reduce the time. Well obviously they don't care about Customer opinions because as of today 3rd March it hasn't been shortened. I will NEVER do business with this arrogant Company.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the length of the promotional video caused frustration and discouraged you from exploring the product further.
Our aim with the video is to provide detailed information about the science, ingredients, and how the formula works so customers can make a fully informed decision. However, we do understand that not everyone prefers a longer presentation, and we genuinely appreciate feedback like yours as it helps us review how we present information to our customers.
Please know that customer opinions are important to us, and your comments regarding the video length have been noted and shared with our team. We’re sorry that this experience left you with a negative impression, but we truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know how you feel.

Very Misleading
Having listened or had on silent this very long epitaph., I was interested in buying this until I realised that the trust pilot reviews were as anyone can see are much lower than you state on
Your advert .. you state you are sole sellers of this product ?? You have a picture of Q,s of people supposedly in Superdrug ., and stating they have sold out ..
I do find this all very misleading .. why may I ask do you have to have a subscription ? If there was a free small sample you could try I would have had that rather than committing to spend £43 is a lot of money .
I do
Not have a reference number as requested on the form .. I am just giving the factional information that was on Facebook ., strangely today you have adjusted your own reviews to the same as on TP.. plus. No
Info now showing a shop full
Of people Qing in supposedly Super Drug … if ever something was MISLEADING AS THE TITLE OF MY EXPERIENCE .. contemplating a purchase .. sadly there is many more reviews similar to.. on another note there is no product on Amazon the save as yours .. in your longer winded presentation you stated no other sellers yet you were mis leading people stating with a picture of Superdrug Sign and a shop full
Of people !! I rest my case

Dear Lynda,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and concerns. We’re sorry to hear that aspects of the presentation left you feeling this way, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify.
Our intention is always to provide clear and transparent information about our products and customer experiences. Reviews shown in our materials are based on genuine customer feedback, and platforms such as Trustpilot can fluctuate over time as new reviews are added. We never intend to misrepresent ratings or customer opinions.
Regarding availability, the Firm and Restore Formula is currently sold directly through our official channels to ensure product authenticity and quality control. This is also why you may not find the exact same product listed through third-party retailers. Any imagery used in promotional materials is meant to illustrate demand and interest, not to imply that the product is sold in physical stores.
There is also no requirement to maintain a subscription unless a customer chooses a recurring option at checkout—many customers simply place a one-time order. We understand that trying a new product can feel like a commitment, which is why orders are protected by our satisfaction guarantee so customers can try the formula with confidence.
We truly appreciate you sharing your perspective, as feedback like this helps us continue improving how we communicate with potential customers. If you ever have questions about the product, ingredients, or ordering options, our support team would be more than happy to help.

OMG. I don’t have enough time in my life to listen to this drivel! Melissa loves the sound of her own voice. I never even made it to the end because I was getting so annoyed.

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback — we truly appreciate it.
We completely understand that long-form presentations aren’t for everyone. The video was designed to thoroughly explain the science behind the formula, the ingredients used, and what kind of results customers can realistically expect. That said, we hear you — not everyone wants (or has time for!) an extended walkthrough before seeing the details.
Your feedback about making the presentation shorter and more direct is valuable, and we’ll absolutely take it on board. The goal is to inform, not frustrate.
At The Chelsea Laboratory, we’re always looking for ways to improve the customer experience, and comments like yours help us do exactly that.
We’re sorry we lost your interest along the way, but we do appreciate you giving it a try and sharing your thoughts.
